[ The gift is received with gratitude, and Claude absolutely attends the feasting at the Inn -- how could he possibly resist? And when he arrives, Richard will receive a package of his own, written in Claude's very best script. ]
A pleasure as always to do business with you, Richard, and perhaps one day we can do more than business. Do a man a favour and have a drink with him sometime, won't you? I'm sure you can make time out of your busy schedule.
May your hearth burn bright through the dark nights of the season and may all holidays be loving and fruitful.
Sincerely,
Claude von Riegan, your fellow Duke of Gloucester
[ Enclosed in the package is a smattering of gifts from the Apothecary itself (including a freebie of burn ointment nestled among the teas and treats), as well as a little package of dog treats for his pig. ]
