Gloria,
I assume this will reach you on your travels but admit the possibility it may not reach you until you arrive in Myrken. I would have suggested you stay in Razasan for a time longer, that we work through some of your current troubles (I have endeavored to do so in your absence, though with great distance and as few coins as possible. Proffering too many would draw attention to where no one wished to look) and to travel together in better weather. At that point, however, with your knife at my throat, I mainly wished you gone. You'll forgive me that. I'd forgive you it, though it's been a good many years since I pointed a blade at anyone's throat (it did me no good and much harm, no matter how entirely validating it was in the moment, more validating than you will ever know or I could ever explain, which is no small statement if you think about it as I have).
I am not entirely sure how to bridge the divide between us and it is my business to bridge such divides. I suppose I would request of you a separate paradigm. You were distressed to have to attempt to tear mine down but failing in that task, at least in my mind, which was the only one that mattered in that moment, you offered me nothing to replace it. Anyone can tear down a dream. It is much harder to build something with purpose and meaning and value, a value that is at all worth an estimated cost. What have you to offer instead?
Were I a magistrate (and I shall not be, as you know I am not to seek any such position), I would almost certainly rule in your favor in the matter of the fairy. She's hardly well from the experience, but I don't find her explanation particularly satisfying. It's been brought to my attention that I do not see her often in the wild. On the other hand, you I have seen in the wild. Everyone is pleasanter exchanging ideas over letters. I will be careful as I start to engage with the world in a more tangible way, Gloria. I have heard that message loudly and clearly.
I hope your journey is safe. If you are in need of resources along the way, let me know, and I will see what I can do, many weeks after you need them, of course.
Glenn
