There is exactly one circumstance in which Lydianah would do something she considers immoral. If it comes down to it, Lydi will go to great lengths to make sure those she cares about stay alive, and that includes sometimes doing things that she feels are wrong or that she ought not to be doing otherwise.

Dearest Pyraelia;

I am happy to report to you that the lambs have arrived without harm and Illdarien had taken his time when returning back with them. Apologies for not having written sooner but work has kept me quite tied up and the fact that pregnancy-brain has kept me quite forgetful as well. It is quite unlike me to be so mindless with menial tasks or to keep up on my everyday schedule I had been tending to for well over a good year or so now. Perhaps simple things such as forgetfulness is a kind reminder of how mortal we are and how perfection is not always obtainable though we seem to think it is.

I could not have asked for a more perfect fit for our little family and our daughter (adoptive) is bound to love them as well which was my main concern. I suspect a peculiar set of names for them is bound to follow in the coming days as she often names everything with simplicity yet curiosity. How it must feel to be 15 again and careless to how the world views your logic, long since has those days passed for myself and even then I found that growing up over night left little room for childish antics. Perhaps that is the biggest part of her that I admire so much, to see those moments within her that I had not experienced myself. Youth certainly has a way of letting nostalgia creep in.

Were you and your sister always close, were the both of you like-minded in your youth?

I am glad that things continue to look up for you in the health department and more so now than it seems to have been in the past. I cannot imagine having to struggle with an infliction that happens to be good one minute but bad the next -- I hope you know that there are people that care a great deal for you and are happy for your presence. They way you speak of others in your letters tells me this without having to see it with my own eyes. It is good to know that a friend is well cared for and thought about especially through trying times. There is a sense of trust and comfort.

I would also love to hear more of you and your tales with the Duskwraths. Last I had heard they were pregnant but doing well and  have not spoken with them since -- Has Ylanna had her baby yet? Hawkstriders? Goodness, they certainly are a handy bunch to have on hand when you need them. My guardian Miss Dawnforge breeds Dragonhawks herself and it is what her family is known best for. I sincerely look forward to hosting a time for us to gather for tea, my cousin would certainly enjoy that very much as well. Since her return I have been trying to introduce her to a few of my acquaintances and contacts so that she settles a bit more comfortably in society with familiar faces. I would be honored if yours were one of the few I find reliable and enjoyable in the city. My cousin has been busy as of late with a couple of patients but I will let her know of the intentions of a scheduled get-together and get back to you shortly on a set response with a time and date, yes?

I certainly hope I don’t choose something that would impede on schedules -- I am quite famous for that but I will try my best to see that everything is kept as painless and flexible as possible. Perhaps something after the next lecture is best to consider?

Fiorenze sounds like quite the character and a very protective, worrisome sister. You are fortunate to have someone so loyal and caring to stand beside you. Worrying and nagging is a form of sincerity and love and no, I do not say that simply because I do much of the same on to others I care deeply for. I think there is a good reason why we women are especially good at it. I look forward to meeting Fiorenze some day, truly.

Goodness, is it already that time of year? My how time flies. I am quite excited for the festival this year.

I look forward to hearing from you soon, Pyraelia. Please be well and take great care of yourself. Encluded with this letter will be the payment for the lambs as well as a small thank you from me to you; please do not be alarmed by the size of the box. I was never a wine drinker but Tassarion swears by the city’s stock that it is some of the best wine around. If you are a wine drinker, I sincerely hope you will allow us some feedback upon sampling.

Our best to you and yours, my friend.

Light bless; Kaevia Starsworn

I would hurt you or use you. | You unsettle me. | I dislike you or you annoy me. | I would like to get to know you better. | I pity you. | you confuse me. | I feel indifferent towards you. | I would be friends with you. | I would fight by your side. | I would hug you or hold your hand. | I would kiss you (in the friendly way). | I would sleep with you. | I would lie for you. | I would protect you. | I would fall in love with you. | I would kill for you | I respect you. | You are my family. | I don’t know you.
