Please do call me Sandry. My name is actually Sandrilene, but it's rather long and formal. Only the other nobles back home call me Sandrilene; all my friends call me Sandry, and I hope we can become friends!
I thank you for not asking at the time, I was quite upset about my dream. The reality of the full context is rather sober, but it is an event I have made my peace with. My siblings made me a crystal with light in it so that I will never be in the dark again, and I have recovered it now that things have returned to how they once were. It was remise of me not to ask at the time, but I hope you were not subject to any disturbing visions as well.
Being an apothecarist sounds wonderful. It seems like you help in ways both big and small. I shall keep your services in mind should the need ever arise. I have recently started making bandages for the healers brigade so perhaps we shall see each other in that capacity.
I have not had much experience with tea parties myself, though I imagine one with you would be quite enjoyable. Growing up I did not spend much time with other nobles and have only recently rejoined such company. So many of the other ladies are boring and silly, though I can only say so since they are not here. I'd be glad for you to show me what a proper tea party is like!
I should have known you were a noble, considering your penmanship! Thank you for doing me the favour of dispensing with such formalities before my penhand was seized with an awful cramp. I'm glad that your siblings were there for you in your time of need, and that you've been reunited with what was yours. My own visions were of no consequence. Just old memories that helped me come back to myself once things were restored.
Not restored to normal, it seems, but at least better than that strange world we found ourselves in. Thankfully, my humble apothecary remained more or less the same! I'd be terribly put out if all of the work I put into it amounted to nothing. I'm certain we'll cross paths at the healer's brigade, if not somewhere else. I'm a terribly busybody, you see, and I like to make my way through the city quite regularly.
In any case, I hope to rectify how deprived you've been of a proper tea party. We nobles may be a rather silly bunch, men and women alike, but there's a few things to recommend us as well. Chiefly being a proper Fodlan tea party, though between you and me, I vastly prefer a common roast over some noble culinary delights. Between you and me, I'd rather eat my shoe than another piece of blue cheese.
But I digress! Send me another letter telling me when you are free, and I'll be certain to whip something up.
I am glad that you did not have any disturbing visions in the past month and were able to return to normal self once things had passed. I am equally glad that your apothecary did not suffer for the strange event either! It would be insult to injury if such a thing had come to pass.
I think having a tea party with you will be quite a fun experience, so I look forward to it. I typically am free in the evenings after my work is finished and all day on Sunday and Monday. Additionally, I can request a different day off if one would work better for you! Please do let me know.
It's a plan! Though I do think even after our formal meeting I would be glad to continue sending these letters. It's become a nice ritual on my way to the market, and it's been over a year since I've had the pleasure of sending letters, though I admit that the dry missives I had to send back and forth pale to these.
Sunday it is. Tea parties are meant to be had in the sunshine, and I believe I know just the park that will be right for a traditional Fodlan tea party. You don't need to worry about things like dress or etiquette, but I'm quite a firm traditionalist when it comes to the foods that are served, so allow me to handle everything. I promise you won't be disappointed! I won't bother you to shift your schedule at all. I am my own employer after all, and that comes with some delightful perks.
I would be overjoyed to continue corresponding with you. I am still more comfortable with this method of communication than the electronic devices provided for us. Have you been here for over a year? I myself have only been here a couple months.
I look forward to your tea party. I must admit I am quite eager to see what I have been missing out on! I shall trust in your sound judgement as you previous did not steer me wrong. Let me know a location and time and I shall be there!
It's difficult to believe it's been so long, but indeed it has! [ And he has very little to show for it -- something he doesn't care to put into words to this sweet girl here. ] I suppose that explains why I've managed to establish myself here in some way. It takes some time to adjust. Electricity isn't even existent where I'm from, though I would like to be able to bring it back home with me if I could.
Meet me in the park just southwest of City Hall, across the street from that quaint little bakery and the stationery shop. I'll set up there. You won't be able to miss me, I'm sure -- I've heard it said that I'm a loud presence at the best of times. Meet me an hour past noon, so it will still be pleasantly warm.
