I've Got Mail! :: 7/5 evening :: Elodie, OPEN

[Elodie Ashpool]

Elodie's eyes were wide when the messenger handed her a letter. A real one! For her! And it was from--- Rhovanion. But it was a letter! She grinned and bounced up to kiss the startled boy in the cheek before taking off toward her favorite garden.

The sun was going to set in an hour, but for now there was enough light to read-- well, looking at it again, read most of it... maybe there wasn't enough light in the sun to read all of it... Elodie tilted her head and looked at it again. Did all men have such dreadful handwriting? Papa didn't. Aramis... sometimes...

Still, she giggled at the bit about the dog. Oh, she'd have to write him back... not that there was a lot to write about. Rhove got to prepare for war. Elodie got to watch Charlotte clean out rooms and Shireen redecorate some and... that was pretty much it, really. Her new sworn sword was good fun though...

Elodie sat down heavily on one of the benches and tried to figure out what she was going to write about. What were you supposed to write to your betrothed about? Rhove certainly wasn't writing about love or any of the things the songs said was in a letter sooo... Hells.
