Fear is a funny thing that makes people do funny stuff.

…However funny you may wish to define attempting to murder your adopted father’s sister.

The child, though, had good reason of his own. It had been carefully thought through, and the boy had even managed to explain his intentions to her before attempting anything; she didn’t quite understand everything, and he was left unable to explain most of what she asked of him.

Dear Ravondir

This is of course no letter, and you will not read it. But I find that if I set pen to paper as though to write a diary then no words come; if I think that I am speaking to you, then all pours forth upon the page. I wish that I could unburden myself to you, as I always used in the past; but I know that you would despise me for the things I have done. This letter will not be sent, but will sit in my chest beside the others that I have written to you.
