"We will both miss you at yule" she had wrote as final words in her letter to me. Upon reading the letter first grief took me..grief over what had happened..or no..I did not regret letting her know.
I reread the letter once again. holding it ever so gently as if she was there instead..
"Dear Cenwynne,
Rastellion took me aside for a long conversation this eve. It was a painful conversation, but one I needed to hear. He made me see that despite how I feel about you, and despite the fact that he thinks you are good for me, so long as Komatsu is still alive, I cannot be around you. He says that he's already heard whispers about me being seen with you in the taverns.
I wish I knew a solution. I wish there was some way ... but I cannot be around you, knowing how much I love you, and have people talk. For it won't be just me they hurt with their words. It will be you as well, and Althessia when she is older.
Please know that if there was any other way, I would take it. But try as I might, I cannot think of one. I won't forget you. I love you.
Yours always
Zandrianna & Althessia
PS - We'll both miss you at Yule."
As I reread the letter I saw that it was full of stains from tears, I knew that she felt the same way as I did when I read it.. "No..I cant let this happen to us both.." I said quietly for myself as I stored the letter in his pocket and wiped away the tear I felt in the corner of my right eye "I need to talk to her in some way.." I again said quietly to myself as I sat down in my chair in my office and dipped my quill in ink and pondered about how I would form this letter..is it that I have an idea perhaps? I knew that I would have a difficult task to write the letter back to Zandrianna but I have to..
((This is not to be metagamed by anyone who does not know the story behind this letter))
