To Sohalia

Sohalia,

Hey Soh, sorry I didn't check in earlier. Are you okay? Do you need anything? Alys and I will be traveling for a bit but let me know if I can help, okay?

I hope it's okay that I'm sending this late but yeah. King's End has been getting kind of weird lately. Like there's always something looking over my shoulder and I hate it so maybe we can meet somewhere else to talk? I've got some stuff to deliver to the Climb if you happen to be at the hot springs there in the next couple weeks.

Talyson,

Hi Tal,

I’m (There is a large inkblot, as though the writer paused for a long while before continuing.) doing alright. I’ve settled in Torchline for now. Flora helped me find a place to stay.

I hope you and Alys are doing okay. I’m sorry to hear that King’s End has been strange. I wish I could say it was likely your imagination, but frankly, I rather doubt it.

A trip to the Climb sounds lovely. Let me know when and I’ll meet you there.

Give Alys my love.

Yours,

Soh
