Asta,

Thanks for letting me wear your shirt home. It's as free of marks and stains as I am, so no hard feelings. If there are any lingering hard feelings, now that I understand a bit better about things, I can always have a quick word with sex Frey about making sure that everything is to both of our likings, next time?

If you'd like there to be a next time, of course.

you made your choice

Flora, darling —

You are very welcome. Thank you for returning it. It is a relief to hear that you are healed and whole again. I do regret how things ended.

I would like to reiterate that it was not you. You are lovely, beautiful, confident, and strong. I was not at my best and admittedly, taken a bit by surprise. If I had more time to prepare, it may have had better results for the both of us.

I am not opposed to a ‘next time’ if you are still interested. I only ask for some time, perhaps, so that I may learn how better to control myself in those situations. And between you and I, I partake quite infrequently as is. I am sure you can understand why, now.

Do tell what ideas you may have from Frey, needless to say, I am intrigued.

I have enclosed a couple of sapphires as a thank you. I imagine they could make a stunning piece or two of jewelry, should you wish them to be.

Until next time, my dear.

P.S. Might I ask what the ‘xoxox’ means?

do you regret it yet?

The sapphires are stunning! I think I'll have them made into earrings and will wear them the next time I see you. Maybe just them?

Let's not dwell on the past, not when the future promises to be much more exciting. I suppose you haven't had much interactions with Frey? Let me just say that their sexual-aspect has always been very keen to ensure pleasurable and safe encounters for all. I'm sure it would be no trouble for them at all to make it so that your love bites aren't painful for me, and that they heal instantly. Not a permanent solution, but one that might hopefully let us both have what we want?

xoxo means hugs and kisses, silly! The x's are kisses and the o's are hugs.

p.s. Come and visit me soon? I could use someone with your eye for fashion to go shopping with.

you made your choice

Flora, darling —

I cannot wait to see them. If there are any gems you are more partial to, I can acquire them for you. I simply thought these ones matched your eyes the best.

As for Frey, I have not. I was never the spiritual type before I became Ancient. It does sound like a wonderful idea, even if it is not a permanent solution. I am willing to try.

Ah, I see! I would gladly love to accompany you with shopping. I do appreciate delving into fashion any time I can. Let me know when you are available.

xoxo, darling.
