Hello,
Today was a strangely uneventful day, barring a spot of trouble involving our new neighbors and Blackvale. Hopefully we are not also subject to some attempt at burglary in the coming days. It would be a terrible bother for our butler. Perhaps you can curse our collection of artefacts to deter theft?
Dinner and lunch both were decidedly simple affairs. Sephidra is most judicious with our expenses, and I am far too lazy to visit the grocers myself.
Anyhow, figuring out the precise nature of the trap will be, in part, what we shall discuss at tea. The majority of our time, of course, shall be devoted to pleasant conversation and the like. I lied about Clarissant not being present. I simply wanted to gauge your reaction.
It is a good thing that you are aware of the pitfalls of grief. And truthfully? A spot of sentimentality is far preferable to apathy.
You are, also, partially correct. This exchange of correspondence is, like most endeavors undertaken in my life, an attempt to fend off the dreaded foes of any individual with a functional mind: boredom and ennui. But it is not the sole reason. It is a ploy most clever. You will see, in the fullness of time, and be struck speechless by the extent of my genius.
Are we settling on the term 'gnoming' for such phenomena, incidentally? I was under the impression that you detested this term.
And lastly, a question: What part of your Dark Design were you going to reveal to Margarethe earlier?
Regards,
Naelin
