[To Culinary Genius Alfred Delafosse: Isabella de Veend]

[Empress of Neon]

"Dear Mr. Delafosse,

I apologize for my absence in Ephia's Well. But there is an increasing demand for my presence outside of it. There is much for us to discuss and I would have you visit as soon as you're able.

I will be in Frostport, keeping Ambassador Suleiman company.

~ Isabella Fitzgerald de Veend

P.S Your treats for the wedding were amazing. Would you be so kind as to bring another round to the Jarl's feast? I'll pay of course."

Dear Mrs. De Veen,

I am always glad to hear from you.
I'm curious what you wish to discuss.

Personally I've some politics I wish to involve myself in and I've spoken with Shamsa regarding commonalities and shared purpose between the Oathseekers and Balladeers. (NOT Banda Rossa).

As for your kind feedback. That makes me so happy to hear! That I could have played a small part in enhancing the wedding experience. Oh, I'm so hopelessly in love with romantic tales. I will wed my sweet Koukol some day.

Regarding your order... Well, this will be embarrassing and uncommon for me to write... But a series of incidents (no, really) have seen me without gold. And people have been difficult to motivate on taking lower board jobs.

I'm out of gold. I cannot buy ingredients. Could you pay up front?

An audible sigh,

Alfred Delafosse

"Dear Mr. Delafosse,

I would be happy to pay you up front. I trust 400 dinars shall suffice? If you need more, simply let me know.

~ Isabella De Veend

P.S I understand there was an incident involving one of my Oathseekers, Karl? Something about you and Hazezon at a temple of jackals. I'd also like to hear your recounting of the incident. Ideally in person, though written letter will do."

[zerotje]

Dear Mrs. de Veend,

400 shall do wonderfully to completing your order. Thank you so much.

I'll tell you of the incident. It revolved around me, but Karl played a role in coming to my defense. I am once again impressed by the Oathseekers. How actionable, honorable and compassionate they are.

We'll speak soon,

Alfred Delafosse
