This person grinded down the wax to the paper, but it's not a perfect process, you can kind of see how it kind of bleeds into the paper a bit, so the wax can't be totally removed without grinding away the paper itself, so there's still going to be new wax on top of the old." >"If you melt wax onto other wax, it creates an obvious seam. "How can you tell this was opened, anyway?" Try to weave in a hint that the seal was broken. Tell him not to worry about you hitting a slog, because it looks like you'll soon get thrown in at the deep end after Zall's reforms. What does he know about Butterknife, though? Did she wake up early and smell mountain air with him at some point? Give him (and Kiki and the fam) the usual salutations and updates on how your life's been going. (It's probably mutant mail, which is supposedly secure even from the empire.) Ask whether the services mentioned there will ever be available to you. Write a return letter verifying that you got her most recent letter and read its contents.
(Perhaps if Cheese's letter service proves reliable, we can route more secure letters through that.)Īnyway, do you have time to write return letters? How can she tell, by the way? Would be useful for you to know, so you could check other letters later. Not much you can do about it at this point. Unsurprised, if a little worried for Moss' sake. Maybe he's feeling left out of the group? That, or the war he's returning to is real bad down there. >A Necromancer stole Valsano's funny bone Kiki also says hello, mostly by way of calling both myself and Zizi idiots. There's something I don't like about the addition of that sentence, and it's because I don't ever remember him advising caution, before. I heard you ran into Butterknife! She's a tough puddle to cross, but if you can beat her, you'll know you've improved a ton in such a short time, so try to get in a fight with her. > "Hey bro! You know, ever since you crossed the border, I've been more interested in the going ons with the empire, so I've had the mailmen fill me in on some details. Keep in touch, remember to visit if you get the chance." Or at least nothing I'd bother putting in a letter. It's got a bad blend of being tough, and also not worth writing about. Except the enemy, ha, but if you care about them, then you've got problems. On one hand, the army's campaigns may let you gain a lot of prestige, but if they ever hit a slog, then it's not good for anyone. > "Hello again, I hope this letter finds you while you're still making steady progress. You can keep sending me mail through the usual means." > "Hi! It's a little weird for me writing this letter because you just left, but I'm speeding this one along to the warp because I'm going to try out a new mailing service and I want to confirm it works asap! So tell me if it arrived safely. "It's from a different mail service, so that's unusual."
>"I just got this one, otherwise I would've handed it off to you sooner, Fen." Holly explains. I notice that Cheese's letter has a different stamp imprinted on the paper as Holly hands it to me. I get my usual three from Zizi, Cheese, and Moss.
