[Letter] To Balladeer Asherias Myl

[Bon]

[A letter is left at the desk of the College of the Balladeers of the Lost Hearth. It is adorned with a Rosey seal but the writing on the envelope is plain and blocky. It is addressed to Asherias Myl]

My teacher, sister, friend. Asherias.

I pray my letter finds you well and hale.

I must first thank you for all you've done for me. My thanks shall never be enough, but my thanks and the actions I undertake for the rest of my days are all I have to offer. I pray one day they will express at least half the gratitude and love I bear for you.

These days since our march have been trying on us all and I fear my attentions have been pulled in all number of directions that our time together has only been but brief.

I now must write to you of our pain and with request.

Today I overheard some words you spoke to Acolyte Endora within the Krak des Roses. Words I did not mean to hear. Words I did not of much hear. What I heard yet still was, I feel, the heart of a matter you've been grappling with since our march. A truth I wish I could unhear. A truth too painful I cannot put it to paper. A truth I did not know.

What pains me most was to hear your presumption upon my feelings of the matter. That I would blame you. That I would hate you. I bid you, Asherias, let us carve some time soon and speak on this. If that is too much, let us write upon it.

What I heard you say was brief. Not intended for me just yet. So I ask of you. We must speak of this truth with words intended for me. We must tend each other in our pain.

Our formal relations as student and teacher may have come to an end. Now let us stand together. Tend each other, and our rose.

Your faithful, unyielding, idiot Student.

Kasu my dear friend,

Rest assured nothing you overheard was spoken in any manner you should be worried about. I welcome you to choose your companion. But I shall seek you out to make sure there is an understanding.
