He considers her words for a time. Sitting as he gazes out the windows. Aleksei is a man that can sit and think for hours. But he does not want to overstep or overstay his welcome. So after a time he rises and moves to his cloak and produces a small notebook. He smiles a little and shakes his head. A gift from the first woman that meant something to him on the mainland. Before Agnie. One that had vanished from his life as quickly as she had entered it. He sits at a desk and pulls the small wooden stick that holds a bit of charcoal at the end. Perfect for writing with. So, he pens a quick letter.
Ariane,
In case there was a misunderstanding. I do this for Glenn. He does not see anything wrong with the way he is now.. but I suspect he has not always been this way. He saved me from something I could not see as changing me. Now I do the same. I cannot bully him. He is my friend, and I hope you can help him better than I.
I do not conspire to overthrow to remove him. I conspire to make him better. If you need me, I live in Suede's old tailor shop. I suspect you know it.

He eyes the chessboard. Did she..? Hm. Interesting. Its a whim, a flight of fancy but he walks over and plugs up a white knight. He coils the letter about it and heads for the door. Casually, he tosses it toward the person set to observe him just giving a little smile. "Can you please see she gets that on her return? And thank her for the lovely day. I hope I can visit again soon, when we can look over the obscure books and talk again."
Then, time to head home. With apples.
