A letter - Sent via a trusted source
Dearest Karin,
I am so very near Last Rest that it
pains me to know I cannot see you. If you should find occasion, a
short vacation near the coast may be in order.
But, this letter is not about my
dreams; nor your’s. I am writing to let you know Carson has found
me. She is quite safe, and I have assured her I would keep her that
way. She has found the Locklight bloodline to be objectionable, and,
having heard my praises from your gentle lips, she decided she may be
better off relocated. Please do not worry after her. I am well
aware my current lifestyle does not suit the care of a beautiful
young woman such as Carson, so I have requested a friend take her in
and teach her the true meaning of nobility.
I will write you again once
arrangements have been finalized. You may expect correspondence from
her through similar means.
Your Servant, Hinrik

My most esteemed Jarl Stangbern,
Tryggvi, please do not think what I am
about to ask you presumptuous, because it is not a question I ask
lightly. But, in this case, I believe you to be my best option.
I assume you remember Karin, I spoke so
often of her I doubt you could forget even if you wanted. Karin’s
young cousin Lady Carson has met will ill fortune as of late, losing
both of her parents and going to live in the Locklight household
because of her relation with Karin.
Carson could not abide living with the
Locklights, as I can very well understand. Having heard Karin’s
stories of me, Carson ran away to find me, and find me she did. She
has asked for refuge with me, but as you would expect I very much
doubt my current traveling lifestyle is suitable for the education of
a young girl.
My hope is that you would be willing to
take on the safety and education of this fine young girl. When I am
finally able to live my life with Karin we of course would take over
her care.
I send this letter ahead to give you
time to think. You may try to reach me by messenger, but that is at
time easier said than done. If I do not hear from you I will be on
my way to speak with you in person.
Thane Hinrik Fullspring
