Priory

[Random_White_Guy]

A small ashfolk in modest garb, with pupils the size of dinner plates, is seen offering a curtsy and leaving a missive at the Priory for the Sisters

Esteemed Elegants, Prescient prims, Charitable cherubs,

My employer wishes to bring forth fair news, and send upon you well wishes.

"Sisters,

While Sol Auk is not of your aesthetic choosing, announcements of Legate Marcellus last evening have sent many waves in many circles.

Old business resumes, but if you desire distribution of your fair Drink beyond the Krak de Rose, Sol Auk is amenable to a meeting and discussion of future opportunity.

Your Drink can be pushed into many circles, far and wide, for simply a share of the proceeds."

Honoured erstwhile Legate Sol Auk, most opulent operator:

We receive your well wishes gladly and requite them.

We have no need, however, of your services. The Drink is a sacrament, offered only ritually to a select few. It is not our desire that it be circulated more widely, and still less do we wish to involve profit, or any kind of transactionality, in its administering.

We thank you for your offer all the same, and we wish you continued good fortunes.
