Lady Emma,

I hope this correspondence finds you home in Slate Valley, and well. I regret that I could not escort you personally from Hebron, but with the injuries sustained by both his grace, and myself, it was imperitive that I remain within the castle grounds. I am confident you inderstand, and I am glad to hear reports that both you and your brother had escaped the fighting unscathed.

Regrettably, I did not have an oppurtunity before your departure to tell you how much I enjoyed our time together while you were in the capital. It was quite comforting to find a soul with whom I could share a little piece of my personal life, that seems to escape me so often anymore. It was indeed heartwarming to be able to relax my guard and be myself for a change. Hopefully, we could endeavor to try it again sometime, as I think it may well be theraputic for me on some level.

I wished to inquire as to whether or not you would be attending the Harvest Festival in Stone Forge next month, as I was hoping to see you. However, I understand that the nature of your family's relationship with the Hallwards may make this inconvenient for you. Perhaps I might pay you a visit in Slate Valley upon my return trip, if you were amiable to seeing me again. I still need to return your ribbon.

Be well, Lady Beaumarche.

Cordially,
Guy Durand

Sent 8/28. Pressed with burgundy wax and the crude outline of the Beaumarche phoenix. Just to the left, in small script, is printed "E.B."


Sir Guy,

It relieves me to have received your letter, Sir Guy, for I'll admit I had feared the worse. My brother and I, along with the rest of our clan, departed Hebron in great haste -- as did most of those gathered, I am sure, soon after the conclusion of the festivities. But I had not heard how you had fared in the scrape. I was concerned I am pleased to know that you are well, and I hope that you are truly on the mend.

I appreciate your kind words, but your company was truly a balm for me, as well. I had not foreseen sharing such an intimate conversation with you, but it was a lovely surprise. You are a true gentleman.

My family and I will in fact be attending the festival in Stone Forge, regardless of our unfortunate history with the Hallward's. The festival for Yuscat is an important event in Hell's Ridge and my family will be in attendance whether they like it or not as is customary our position. I look forward to seeing you there. Very little would make me happier.

Keep the ribbon. You kept your word -- and such a champion deserves a prize, however insignificant it may be.

Fondly,
Lady Emma Beaumarche
