Placed in the hands of a messenger boy early this morn, a letter will find its way to the owner of a certain teahouse. Penned in neat, elegant script, sealed in crimson wax marked with a simple 'E'.
Dear Madame Swinton,
I hope this letter finds you well and in excellent health. I would first like to state how much I enjoyed my previous visit, and how I hope another such visit will come at some near point in the future. You are a comforting presence, and it is to you that I turn in what must surely be my darkest hour.
This coming week's end I will be hosting a special guest within my home, and I think that perhaps black will not be so suiting. I have included some basic measurements of my proportions, and I was hoping you might help me find an outfit of a more colourful, cheery nature. Perhaps even a dress. I have no talent for this, and so I beg you for whatever aid and succor you can give. I will stop by a bit later in the week, to see what you might have come up with.
Sincerely and gratefully,
Elspeth von Drakken, Artificer
