Catching up

Hello Kellan!

I hope that this letter finds you well and that the moving has been completed successfully. After the tragedy of Orlais I have moved too, settling down in West Hills so if you ever need to contact me you can write to the direction within this letter.
How is your health going my friend? Are you being good with the sleeping routine as I told you that you should? I have a hunch of that it will improve greatly your health.

Best wishes

Rosalie Rutherford.

*Rosalie,*

*Your letter finds me settled, if you must call it that, though I find little in this new place that compares to the quiet of Orlais. Not that Arlathan doesn’t have it’s own strengths and beauties. It will serve its purpose; beyond that, I am disinclined to grow attached.*

*You have settled in West Hills. I’ve heard the land there is temperamental. I trust you are prepared should it test you, though I imagine there is little these days that could unsettle a mind as strong-willed as yours.*

*Regarding my health, as you insist on mentioning it, I assure you that I am… adequate. I am no stranger to endurance, as well you know. I grant you, however, that sleep has its uses, though I suspect not so many as you think.*

*In any case, your advice, though unsolicited, is noted.*

*I hope your research is progressing. West Hills may yield new material, if you are diligent. Your work, after all, has value beyond measure.*

*Do well, Rosalie, and remember: resolve is the foundation upon which all success is built.*

Dear Kellan

I am a doctor, I am the pinnacle of unsolicited advise. I am glad to hear that you are fine. I will take your letter as support, specially know that I am in the most difficult part of the research which is polishing the cure to make it more efficient and lasting.

with love

Rosie

Rosie,

Ah, the pinnacle of unsolicited advice—you wear the title well. I imagine you even take pride in it, as you should. Few are as persistent in their care, though I often wonder if it is for your sake or mine that you expend the effort.

Polishing the cure, you say. Difficult, yes, but not impossible for one of your intellect and tenacity. Efficiency and longevity in any craft demand not only brilliance but sacrifice. I trust you are prepared to give both.

Know that you have my... support, though I would offer a reminder: do not let the pursuit consume you. A cure that costs the healer their vitality is hardly a cure at all. But perhaps this, too, is unsolicited advice, and thus beneath your notice.

I will not distract you further. Write again when you are able. Your letters remain a rare indulgence in these mundane days.

—Kellam
