Notes (and any Warnings): This is a reply to Dear Vedris: Just the Thought of You, because indifferentred asked for it; Happy Valentines Day! Do remember that Yazmin's letter, to which this is a reply, was impulsively written on the back of a card a noble whose child wanted classes left with Yazmin... Takes place after Magic Steps.
My dear,
Imagine my surprise when a hastily delivered card bearing the name of my lord Gard de Haruld was turned over to reveal such a touching sentiment. I had no idea he and I were on such intimate terms. As I read on, however, I did come to the realization that I had not gained a new (rather unexpected) admirer, and must admit that I was pleased it was you who had thought of me, even without the time to find your usual writing supplies.
As to the contents of your letter: while I would never presume to argue with a lady, I will not agree to anything that puts you together with the phrase ‘too old’. I know you are no such thing. Your life has given you wisdom and bearing and, yes my dear, beauty, though I know you are laughing and shaking your head at my words.
And though I said earlier that I was happy you had written ‘even without’ your supplies, I’m sure you have seen right through it, as usual. There have been rays of light in my life again, over the past few years, after my Sandry was returned to me. But every time you do something so completely unexpected, and make me laugh or dance or read “My dear Duke” on a card presumably from Gard de Haruld and turn over to read the name again in confusion, it is like the sun shines on me. Sandry brought colour into the Citadel again, but you, my dear, have brought me light.
So even though this was written to you on normal missive, with a plain envelope to carry it, I do hope it brings the same light of joy into your life as you bring into mine.
Love,
Vedris.
