Hello Remi. 

Remember when we joked that I never ask for help even when I need it? Well, I think I really need it now. Something has happened, and I am at a loss on what to do. Can't tell if I'm in the wrong, or if they are, or what to do in order to fix it. If it's even something that can be... 

Would you listen, if I told you about it? Could you tell me honestly if this is entirely on me, or... I mean, I think I already know that a lot of it is, I just... can't stop wondering if I'm meant to take all the blame or not - because it doesn't feel right - but I'm also far too close to this, and it's become so tangled up and confused... 

Sorry, I know this is awfully vague. I just don't want to push this onto you if you'd rather not be involved. At the end of the day it's probably Ancient business, or Hollowed Grounds business, or entirely my own problem... so if you want to stay out of it, I completely understand and there's no hard feelings at all. 

Please let me know what you would prefer.

With love
Maea Valair

Hi Maea,

Of course I'll listen. I can't say my advice has always been sound (see my long, long list of mistakes in the past), but I'll offer whatever perspective I can. Maybe my history can be used as an example of what not to do.

I can meet you anywhere you like, you need only give a time and place.

See you soon
—Remi

Remi,

Thank you. I am in Torchline currently. If you wish I can come by the Northaven? Though I hoped to visit for a more pleasant reason, I'd still very much like to see where you live.

Just let me know when you will be home, and I'll be there.
See you soon

With love
Maea Valair

Ronin and I will tow the Northaven just down the coast from the docks. We're hard to miss.

See you tomorrow, around noon?

That will work wonderfully! I look forward to seeing you again. (Both of you)

Thank you for the map.
