“I thought you to never awake.”

“Like, my wife always says I sleep like a wild bear, “she says laughing, “Kit dinner leaves my belly well and satisfied gratitude.”

“It’s the least I can do besides I have to earn my keep somehow.”

“Your company and presence holds equal balance.”

“How is my sister hope she is well and safe?”

“I do not know I have yet to receive any word from her since she departed, “she says in a somber tone.

“I do not understand, “Kits says taking a sip of her wine then placing it on the table, “Did you not read the letter sitting upon your dresser?”

“Letter, “hearing Kit refer to a letter she felt herself tense up as she fell asleep reading letters and now wondered while she was asleep did Kit accidently stumble upon the letters as well.

“Yes, a messenger appeared while you were asleep delivered a letter sent from Bette.”

“Kit, you kept such thing from me, “she says excitedly jumping up from the table.

“I did not, “she says smiling glad to see her in better spirits. Rushing into her bedroom she sees the letter sitting in the position where Kit left it. Grabbing it slowly she sits on the bed opening it. Removing the letter she brings it to her nose inhaling the scent left by Bette as she transcribed the words on paper. Bringing the paper to her lap she begins reading it:

My Dearest Tina,

I hope this letter finds you well and in good health. Only 12 sunrises have passed since I left your side while my mind understands such purpose my heart struggles to obtain as the desire to see you to my arms bestows upon my true purpose. My journey continues onward east to Natticulus in hopes of uniting with Queen Maia forging a plan to defeat Jennicus and restore the rightful heir to the throne. Apologies, as you might not be aware Princess Alice lives protected by Urena heading to Natticulus seeking the protection under Queen Maia. Please do not worry for my safety as I promise to gaze upon you again. Know the fire still burns from the quickening of your pulse, the touch of your lips, breast, and all pleasures below. I hope Kit provides you comfort in my absence. These words I write see they give your heart great joy and peace know my love is forever present when I am not see you in my dreams and I in yours.
