My Lord Ravenwing,
When you look into the night sky it is full to bursting yet still and silent, empty but for the twinkling of so many stars. But there, within the silence one senses the truth in the knowledge that there is merely more there than one can see. This foundation sets the example for that work which is perfected in mortals, especially we old-kind. And but for the scope of one’s own regard, does he find another - simple. My Lord, please permit me to lay a foundation that you might clearly see me and the roots of my here-written request.
I did not come to Stormwind to find love. In-fact My Lord, upon the eve of my first encounter with Lady Ravenwing, my soul had not breathed after the love of a woman since I abandoned the trappings of my blood for the pursuit of this way and those meaningful disciplines in which it profits. Self control, prudence, understanding and faith. Above all faith. For it is faith which carries every moment to the next on that choice in which we believed.
Therefore and firstly, please accept this letter as a declaration of faith. I Rhys Valtieri hereby announce my will and desire to court the Lady Acasia Ravenwing in the old ways, with respect and dignity and a patient, guiding hand after a hope in understanding in lieu of pleasures. For a bond the likes I find in her eyes requires a masterful attention. I pray that mine will do.
Finally, and if it pleases you My Lord. It would be my honor and privilege to accompany Lady Ravenwing in the pursuit of her daily duties from time-to-time and as you both deem fit. She appears to be a dutiful steward by all accounts and present judgements. I should treasure the opportunity to come better acquainted with this most important aspect of her life. If permitted, I will carry myself with prudence and represent your trust with excellence at all times. I am humbled and grateful for your valued-attention and further discerning faith. Your Humble Servant, ~Rhys Valtieri Mentions: @vincent-ravenwing @acasiaravenwing
