Sir Alexander Archibald,
It was unfortunate that our first real meeting had to take place at the Watch House under such circumstances. I would like to apologize for the harsh way that I treated you, my actions were not befitting of a Knight of House Toboerski, especially to a man with Noble blood such as yourself.
However, I am certain that you can understand the frustration that I was under at the moment. I had not long awoken when I made my way to the Watch house to speak with a friend, when I over heard one of your men, the man by the name of Mormont Baelister speaking ill of one of my men, Aspirant Eristhenes Tichteran. I thought the Aspirant in question was in the other room, so I halted my conversation and entered. You can imagine my shock when I found his corpse laying on the floor.
I was immediately insulted and accosted by Mormont whom I had harsh words with. I do not make it a policy of treating others harshly, but I am sure you are well aware of the type of man Mormont Baelister is, or at least I hope you are aware. After a few harsh words with Mormont I then proceeded to ignore his vitriolic attacks against me, my House and Sir Toboerski.
I will not be so vein or so eager to ask for an apology. In times such as that tempers do flare and harsh things do get said. Though you should be aware that Mormont has made it a policy - a consistent policy - to go out of his way to cause conflict between our two Houses.
I do not wish there to be conflict between us. Though you and I have not met, I have been told much about you, and our aims and goals seem to be very much the same. In these times, we need to be allies, not enemies, and as such I would humbly request that you inform Mormont Baelister that his actions are straining our relations.
I do not venture to speak for Sir Dungal, and most certainly do not even dream of speaking for Lord Gregor, but do understand that I hold the title of Knight of House Toboerski, and am held in high esteem. I am told certain things in confidence and Mormont is chafing our relations. None of us wish that.
I would humbly request for a time in which I can meet with you and speak over matters, in private. Not necessarily matters pertaining to Mormont but matters regarding our two Houses. It is important for us to establish strong ties and a strong alliance. We can only benefit from being close.
You should also be made aware that Sir Dungal intends to run for the Council, and though this is not yet public knowledge, he does intend to groom me to take up the role as a Magistrate of House Toboerski. So I do believe a meeting between us, and the establishment of good relations, is highly important.
Once again, I would like to sincerely apologize if I offended you in any way at the Watch house. I do not make it a policy to treat good men such as yourself in a bad manor.
Sincerely, Sir Melrick, Knight of House Toboerski
