Letter from Jesika

From FiranMUX

Hiya Alastor.

Jala and I have been living in the Ticanee Medical Clinic, though my broken bone is pretty much gone now. I think I can stop using the walking stick soon. We had some excitement when we had to go and gather enough garlic and ginger and cotton for an entire army, it seemed. I'm not sure what it was all about, but I was helping Neoma out. It seems like you have been gone forever. It's been months, Alastor, since we've seen you and we miss you a lot. I don't write often enough - I know that - but it's hard for me to put things into words. You know I'm more a woman of action than words, anyway. But I have been counting the days until we see you again. We'll go out picking apples in the orchard, leave Jala home with Rika. We can spend some time there alone, just you and me. Only please, come home soon.

It was frightening when all those nobles were getting kidnapped, or tried to be. There was an attack on Tia, and Teonia, and Luna, and ... um. Someone else. I forget who. And Ania and Lucretia were actually kidnapped. People were, and are, pretty scared. How did someone pull that off? They must've been awfully smart. So I've kept my spear with me - in case I heard anything out of the ordinary. Black Company isn't really up and running right now, but when you guys get back, I'm sure Vinetti will reassemble us proper.

Jala is cruising now. That's to say, walking while holding on to things. She can't quite walk on her own yet. I think I'm going to get someone to make her a little tiny spear. She can learn to poke and prod things with it. Maybe I'll have them keep the end blunt then. What do you think?

I'm sure you're going to have lots of exciting stories for me. Keep bloodying your spear on goats, Alastor, and know that I love you and am there in spirit with you.

Love, Jesika. The signature of Jesika. Dated Oct 13, in the year 42 A.U.
