Title: Sending Rating: G Length: 230 Competitor: Baird Round: I/D Summary: Moving on from Searching. Baird is old fashioned.
The note was in her doorway, small and clean and somehow giving off the air of a waiting thing, though whether it was waiting to be read or stepped on, Kel was not sure. She slipped in her pocket, where it sat, unnoticed, through a day of riding in the rain, only sticking to her fingers inside the walls of New Hope, as she reached for a pencil.
Lady Knight Keladry,
My dear, forgive the slight whimsy in this message. I know you’ll be leaving for New Hope as soon as you are able, and, since I believe we left each other in excellent health as last night eased into this morning, I somehow doubt I shall be seeing you in the infirmaries.
Perhaps I am old fashioned. I am also, however, fashioned old by this time in life, and so shall call that an excuse. Still, I wish to thank you for a lovely evening. I found great pleasure in the general proceedings, which I owe entirely to your company, and trust (rather than hope, since I do believe that, some few times, I have read your face) you found at least some of the time convivial. It would feel churlish of me, not commenting upon it, even if only in this roundabout fashion.
Travel and lead safely, and know I remain, most faithfully,
Your friend. Baird of Queenscove.
