[Letter written in a pretty script, slightly dirt-smudged, and sealed with the Kaleaster seal.]
Dearest Meriel,
How is court? I'm sure it's much more fun than here - I'm sort of in trouble with Tyroshaun. I went riding and there was a wolf and Tyroshaun completely overreacted.
I hope things are going well with you. Is there anyone new and interesting in court? I'll be there soon (only a few months!), and I want to know if there's anything outside of pretty dresses and your company to look forward to. Not that those aren't enough - I miss you, Meri! Things aren't the same without you. I love Caellach and Aidan and Nadia, but they're not you.
Say hello to Mama Kai for me and give her my love. I can't wait to hear all about what you've been doing - have you caught anyone's eye yet? If you say no, I'll wager you just haven't noticed yet.
All my love,
Avrilys
