Moving to the Country

Isana's quill pen returned to its pot of ink with a soft -timp-. She blew gently on the parchment to dry it, thinking. It wasn't audacious, really, and it was in service to the realm... but she felt a bit odd giving up her Greenstone Tower to move out into the country. She would be oft returning to the capital of course, and the new home still looked out over water. And of course the neighbours were to be her comrades-in-arms and very good friends. But to move again only a few months after arriving...

The ink dry, she rolled the message up and carefully dripped green wax onto the open edge, pressing her signet in to seal it. She wondered if the Duke would be surprised at the letter, at her moving. After all she had every reason to enjoy living in the capital, and had appreciated his unorthodox but very effective management of the city. This letter was her formal thanks and return of the Tower to his care, for another knight. She thought about it for a long moment more, mouth twisting to one side as she considered something. Then she shrugged and nodded.

Tossing her long dark braid over one shoulder, Isana stepped over to her trunk and pulled out a small green drawstring bag. "Maybe this will sweeten the message a bit," she mused to herself, tying the bag of peppermints to the scroll with a bit of string.

"Ced! Call me a messenger would you? This has to go to the capital."
