I understand that I am in a distant land very far from my own, and I should like to think I am grateful for the chance to travel. Though - I am sorry to say it, and hope I do not cause offense - the high lords of the Initiative have been misled to think a lowly baseborn girl of simple upbringing could assist them in their struggle.

Even so, I worry for my companions. Perhaps, if any hear this, you might be so kind as to attend for them? I seek the following: A man of middling years, small and thin, with close-cropped dark hair shot with grey and a short, pointed beard, who wears a mockingbird upon his breast. A boy of six, small and pale, with brown hair and large eyes, who may have the sigil of a falcon sewn upon his clothing; I am his guardian and must know where he is at once. A young woman, tall, with dark hair and blue eyes, most likely in men's dress. Alayne Stone seeks them.

You have my thanks.

I would hope not, either. It is unfair for any young woman to known as hard, no matter where she was born.

[it's sort of the usual pleasantries, and sort of teasing--but more the of the former, as he does not know her.]

Have you managed to find the rooms provided for you by the Initiative?

My life has not been without kindness. My lord father is kind, as were the septas who raised me. They believed a maiden's joy was joy to the Maiden.

I have not yet, but a kindly woman has offered to escort me.

[the words mean little to him, but he recognizes their style, and from that can get a general meaning. it would not be proper to barrage her with questions. he will ask more politely later.]

I am glad to hear that you have known kindness, and have found it here, too. Take care--not all is what it seems here. There is sorcery, and those who wield it can be a danger to anyone. Even kindly woman can be a danger.

There is wisdom in your words. I will remember them, and take care.
