“Those warm arms tightened incrementally around you. It was too hot, like he was trying to burn all the tears out of your body. You wanted to push him off- wanted to make him let go, but the heat was the first thing you could really feel.

The first thing that didn’t seem wrong.

I see you with Nerissa when she attends the matches at Shattered Masts. She's spoken of you all fondly so my guess is you know her better than anyone. She recently had a gift delivered to me and I want to repay her. I need to know what she enjoys. Fat Fin

Two separate answers arrive for Fatfin from Conrad and Shellie.

Shellie's letter:

Hello, Mr. Fin! Nerissa’s told us a lot about you (all good things, of course!), so it's great to hear from you! Happy to help with figuring out what you can get for Neri! Here’s a list of possible gift ideas! If you need more, don’t hesitate to ask! 🐢 Jewelry- particularly loves gold metals with pearls, opals, rose quartz, coral, ect. 🐢 Pretty shells! I know that probably sounds a bit silly, but she likes to make accessories out of them! 🐢 Flowers! I know it’s a bit cliché, but she always has some in vases around her carriage! 🐢 Whenever we’ve got a moment to spare, she likes to paint but she hasn’t been able to in a while because she’s run low on her favorite kind. You live near the Necluda Sea, right? Well, there’s this special paint made out of seashells that some vendors sell! I think that would be a great gift. 🐢If you like to sing or write- writing her a poem, a little song, or anything like that would make her melt! 🐢Some nice wine- especially if you drink it with her! (Though, honestly, I don’t think she’s picky when it comes to alcohol) (In character, the list continues for a page or two- but OOC Ren ran out of ideas-) And that’s all I can think of right now! I hope it helps and wish you the best of luck! I’m rooting for you! <3 Shellie

P.S I just wanted to apologize in ADVANCE if Conrad was a little gruff in his reply! I promise you he means well- he’s just- a little protective. So please don’t take anything he might have said to heart!

Conrad's reply is hidden under the "read more" cause he's an old, grumpy man with a bit of a potty mouth.

"Hello!

You delivered some packages to my friend, Nerissa. We think you are so professional and nice. I'm so embarrassed to ask but would you like to get a nice drink sometime? Even just to chat! I have so many questions about your job (the handwriting is shaky here, almost like the person initially wrote "you" and later added "...r job").

I know a great place that does butter coffee. My treat?

Shellie"

Les doesn't do caffeine but he knows a place that makes some real nice smoothies... Wouldn't it be funny if that's the same place Shellie is talking about!
