Ailwin read the letter with a soft smile, his heart warming at Flea's words. He imagined her in Arlathan, turning the dried flower over in her hand, and felt a pang of longing to see her again. He carefully set the letter down, picked up his pen, and began to write his response.
Dear Flea,
I am pleased to hear that Arlathan has treated you well so far. It sounds like you've found a comfortable place to stay, and I'm glad to know there are good people there to look out for you.
Kirkwall is indeed an interesting place with a tumultuous history. The stories of its past are as dramatic as the city itself, and piecing it all together can be quite the adventure. I'm sure you'll uncover many fascinating tales during your time there.
The Back Water sounds like a welcoming haven. It's good to know you've found a spot with clean beds and good meals – those can be hard to come by on the road.
As for seeing you again, it is definitely in the agenda. I've been planning to make my way to Arlathan, and your letter only solidifies my resolve. There are matters I need to tend to here first, but I will join you as soon as I can.
Regarding the bloom, I'm delighted that it holds meaning for you. To answer your question, it was a lucky guess – but perhaps luck is guided by some deeper connection between us.
Stay safe, Flea. I look forward to our next meeting.
Warm regards,
Ailwin
He carefully folded the letter, sealed it in an envelope, and set it aside for delivery. Ailwin couldn't wait to see Flea again and share in the discoveries and stories they would uncover together.
