[The dragon shows up right in the middle of whatever anais is doing outside. Right in the middle of it too. Funny how that works.]

Hey, are you going the solstice party?

[Waits for a response...if there isn't any by a good 60 seconds, have another letter with the same message...and another 15 seconds after that. Not like there's any rush or anything.]

[Dragonmail: Marlene Reliace]

Hey, I don't know if you remember me. I'm Lynea, the woman who threatened your creator's life at one point?

Right, well we just so happen to know the same person and I was wondering if maybe you could help talk her into going to the solstice party?

Much appreciated.

[Dragonmail: Lera, Player of Acher?]

I hope this goes to the right lady.

So hello! We didn't exactly meet the best of the terms once and I never really got to talk to you at the party last time. I know you're a friend of Anais and I was hoping you could help me get her to the solstice party.

It sounds like you fucked your character's head up some.

So how about you send me some awesome fireworks for a party he'll be at? Seems like an even exchange.

[late night after trying to drunk-text him DEJAVU MUCH

drunken writing ain't much better than text, it's a bit scribbly on top of the left-handed slant, and written on a bar napkin]

Where are you?

[Dragon Mail: Ravindra Sarvana]

[Monday, late afternoon]

[Not a letter, but a small box. It's held together with twine and contains a few Pakerion citrus fruits. (Sorry Ravi, he hasn't got a lot to work with right now.) Resting at the bottom is a small, folded note written carefully and with the letters pressed deep. The ends of his strokes shake a bit where they lighten.]

Funeral plans have been temporarily postponed.

[after some weirdness with his phone not sending texts to hers]

Something up with your phone?

[ monday, noon ]

How are you?

[ all signed A ]

[So guess who has felt some guilt after finding Alex in a bad way in Aerveas's fortress. She isn't really sure if he saw her, but she has to check! Naturally, though, this has to be downplayed because emotional connections are embarrassing to ever admit to. It comes late Sunday night.]

Hey there.

You okay? You looked pretty roughed up yesterday.
