A reply returned in a florid, if unfamiliar hand.  A great deal of space left behind for a third party to sign their name. A different ink. A different quillpoint.

Dearest Isabella,

Jealousy is a disease, bitch.

Get well soon.

Kind regards,

Apothar Mendista,

Your prompt response is most appreciated. The good Nadiri Cosine has already been provided written copies of the witness statements. I'm sure by the time you receive this response, he'll have provided them to you. I imagine you might be upset should he not.

I understand, too, that with your recent promotion it's likely you may find yourself too busy to resolve this matter; as such, I'm happy to raise it at the next Assembly. If you lack the funds yourself, perhaps they can be found amongst The Astronomer's regular portion?

Ledgered in a florid hand, and sealed with a kiss.

Apothar Mendista,

Hoping this droll little missive finds you in good health, friend, because I fear the Gate of Rose's present condition leaves a tad to be desired.

Never fear, though, it will be repaired post-haste by our skilled Balestriere-Smiths. However, it pains me to say that additional funds were not held in reserve for unforeseen eventualities. Eventualities such as "Astronomers damaging a  major defensive lynchpin of Ephia's Well". I'm sure you can imagine my surprise and disappointment when your name was raised as the responsible party by more than a handful of The Well's adventurers, replete with written statements.

The materials and labour required amount to a tad more than One Thousand Dinari, but I'm happy to round it down for the sake of a friend.

PS. My condolences for the recent deaths and subsequent folding of The Crimson Guard. Should you and your fellow Astronomers require armed guards during your many dangerous jaunts, I'd be happy to furnish you with a quote for La Banda's services.

Friend,

You will need to forgive my tardiness, and let it not colour your measurement of my beloved Banda.

For a singular jaunt, with four highly-trained Banderossi Soldari in tow, you will need furnish The Company with some 2,000 Dinari prior to leaving the Well.

We've had some similar experiences in the past few days to the Ash Storm's edge, and the revenants grow thick as flies.

Seek out any of my fellow Balestriere if you'd like to discuss further.

Regards,
