Letter to Jessamine

[connor]

Lady Jessamine,

---

It is with deepest regret that I slip this message under you door like some common thief, but I fear it is the only way this can be done without repercussions. The life of a sell-sword is a sketchy existance in the best of times but I fear these are far from the best of times at this Keep. Following several assassination attempts on the Queen, this kingdom has seemingly fallen under a cloud of doubt and suspicion, and I have failed to help them with these issues as well as my own.

---

The Queen has a good heart and has done what she can to make me feel welcome here, but I fear that her protectors do not agree with her assessment of my character, and the recent arrival of this Trost character has done nothing to help my cause. Upon hearing their assessment of his crimes and the numerous voices calling for his head, I fear my link to this man, though slim, will be my undoing. So, it seems my time in this kingdom is at and end. I shall depart by morning light on my usual route to the outer grounds so as not to draw any unwanted suspicion upon myself as I make my exit.

---

I would ask one favor of you if you would - I have recently purchased a steed from the Stable Master after returning the one the Queen has allowed me to use in my inspections of the Keeps security risks. Enclosed is the reciept for said animal and should suspicious voices find it necessary to accuse me of making off with one of the kingdoms beasts, I would that you might show this to the Queen so as to at least salvage what is left of my reputation. I wish you well in your endeavors and hope that you find a home here that fulfills you. It has been an honor to know you.

Your Servant,
Connor Mac Roth

[Lady Edfeil]

(Awwww... *pouts*))

[Lady Adel de Blakeland]

(( Awww is right, we hardly got to know Connor. ))

[Dream Loxley]

((Shame to see you leave but if this is what you feel is right then we can but wish you well on your new adventures and hope to see you again some day. Take care there. ))

[Jessamine al'Thor]

Jessamine had of course received the letter and did her best to not let it upset her. She had placed it in a small box she had acquired to put her few valuables in, her personal seal, the little bit of jewelry she had with her and now this letter. She wanted to sit and cry and then go searching for Connor but she knew that was not possible as he had not left a hint as to where he had gone off to. She did not understand why the confusion with Trost would make things more difficult for Connor as she had not spoken to him that night when he came to see the Queen. That alone had caused a few restless nights as she was beginning to see Connor as someone she could confide in. She also kept the receipt he entrusted to her safe within the box but as of yet no one had asked to see it...in fact it was as if Connor had never existed with all the mention of or lack thereof him. But she would carry his friendship and his kindness all the rest of the days in her heart and prayed that perhaps one day she would see him again.
