The sound of the lock shifting as she turned the key and opened the door seemed to echo through the house. Her blues taking a moment to look down at the letter that was slipped through her door while she was away in the Arch.
“Hm..” Seemed to be the only thing she let out as she scooped it up and shut the door behind her. Wasting no time to go up and get comfortable at her desk before breaking the seal. Even if the letter was short she took her time to make sure she read such a letter right before a frown shifted to her lips.
Someone she tended to was injured. Even if they did not have many meetings, Corinne still cared for each and every person she met. And so, she set out to write;
“Lady Dore,
I hope you do not mind me sending this letter back to you, but I will keep this brief. I am deeply sorry to hear about Adriwyn, And I do wish her a speedy recovery. I wish you to pass on the message for me as well as let her know if she needs me she can always send for me. Just in case, I will enclose my new card for her, this has my new address on it in case she rather see me herself, when she can.
Sincerely, Doctor Corinne Kerrigan
After looking over the letter, the Grenthite nodded to herself, filing the card away before taking up parchment and quill once more to reply.
Dear Doctor Kerrigan,
Thank you for the card and your letter. I will pass both along to Adriwyn as soon as she is able to deal with visitors. I am quite sure that your sentiments will ease her feelings in some measure, as she’d expressed some worry about your reaction to her in conversations with me before.

“Gods..” Odette hissed to herself as she reach over the brief letter. Soon making her way towards Luna’s office she had set up in her family home to start a reply.
“Lady
Dore,
I am fully aware it is not my place to read other peoples mail, and perhaps it is better that I decided to to take it upon myself to convince the house keeper to relinquish the letter for a few reasons. I will not waste you time making you read such a list of things but I would like to inform you, in turn, that currently Luna is missing.
Collyn, Luna’s cousin, has yet to give me information regarding Luna’s whereabouts or even what is going on. Though I wish he would, I am not stupid enough to throw myself into a fight I know nothing about.
I would also like to note, as I have no idea how close Saromire and Adriwyn were, That he is no longer with us. But when we do find Luna, would it be possible for you to check on her. We have no idea what condition she will be in, and Saromire’s passing may hit her harder once she is home.
Best wishes, Lady Odette Grayson”
The priestess looked over the letter, frowning a bit, and took up parchment and quill to reply.
Dear Lady Odette Grayson,
I’m most concerned to hear that Luna is missing. I will be ~ well, not happy, but perhaps eager will do ~ to assist should she be found requiring aid. You may call on me for that purpose at any time.
I never met Lord Saromire myself, but I know Adriwyn will be nearly as distressed to hear that news as she will be about Luna. I’m sorry to hear that the family is in such straits, yet I thank you for letting me know.

Don’t make the same mistakes that everyone else makes. Make wonderful mistakes. Make the kind of mistakes that make people so shocked that they have no other choice but to be a little impressed.
A loud knocking sounds at the door of the rooming-house in the Salma district, around Cottage Bend. The door is soon opened by a very purple Sylvari, who’s bouncing on her toes as she looks out. ‘Hi! How can I help you?’
The uniformed pair of Shining Blade soldiers looked at each other, not having expected this, but it was only a look. The senior one spoke. ‘We’re here to bring Lady Dore to tend to Lady Adriwyn Jardin.’ They each looked past the Sylvari even as the one spoke, preferring to deal with a human if they could, but none was in evidence.
The Sylvari’s eyes went wide and her mouth went into a small circle before she gave a more animated response. ‘Little Adriwyn? Again? And not here under her own power? Oh, no!’ She turned and ran up the stairs, taking them two and even three at a time.
The soldiers followed her at a somewhat more leisurely pace, partly from not being as familiar with the dark stairway. When they neared the top floor, they saw the door standing open, and then a tall, powerfully built woman in green robes emerged. She had a staff slung over her back, and was carrying a burlap bag that wriggled and squeaked – and occasionally snarled. The woman had black hair, pale skin, and the glowing visage that sometimes marked disciples of Grenth.
‘Lady Dore?’
‘I am Alyssia Dore of House Durheim, yes – and Orchid here tells me that you’re here to take me to tend to Adriwyn.’
The Blade were relatively pleased to discover that she had a fairly normal contralto voice, and that it wasn’t all mystically creepy to match her eyes. ‘Yes, m’lady. If you’ll accompany us, please.’
The priestess nodded, trailed by the Sylvari, who stopped to lock the door to their rooms, then skipped along to catch up.
