To Rosalie Rutherford,
My dear friend,
I hope this letter finds you well. It feels like an age since we last spoke, but I wanted to take a moment to update you on my condition and, more importantly, to extend my heartfelt condolences. I heard about the losses you suffered during the Blight in Orlais. Words feel inadequate, but please know that you have my deepest sympathies. The burden you bear is heavy, and I only wish there were more I could do to lighten it.
As for me, I’ve found myself in the Free Marches, reconnecting with old friends and enjoying a life that feels surprisingly free without the ever-watchful eyes of the Grey Wardens hovering over me. It’s strange, but in a good way—almost like I’ve found a piece of myself that had been buried under all that responsibility and duty.
Regarding the treatment, I’m pleased to report that the side effects have been far more bearable this time around. The changes you made seem to be working well. However, I’ve noticed an unusual side effect that I wanted to ask you about. Lately, I’ve been experiencing an excessive thirst—so much so that I feel like I could drink the entire Waking Sea and still be parched. Is this something I should be concerned about, or just another quirk of the treatment?
I’m content for the most part, more so than I’ve been in a long time, and I have you to thank for that. Without your help, I’m not sure where I’d be, but it certainly wouldn’t be enjoying the simple pleasures of life the way I am now.
Please take care of yourself, Rosalie. I know you’re strong, but even the strongest need time to heal. If there’s anything I can do for you, don’t hesitate to ask. I owe you that much and more.
With gratitude and friendship,
Nathaniel Howe
