TS: 1st of Ioannes, Summer, XIV (pf)
The letter came rolled tightly and sealed with white wax that had the impression of a crow, wings outstretched, caring a gemstone in its talons. It was brief, of course, and penned in a neat jewelers hand. The invitation might have surprised him, or not, considering. But it was left carefully with the rest of his correspondences on his desk in his very erratically decorated and dubiously cluttered office.

Faust-
I'm sitting in a very cluttered workroom that is in dire need of its floor being swept. It reminds me of another workroom I saw not too long ago and that puts a slight smile on my face. I've been working gold and silver and my back aches with the need to stretch. I think perhaps after I get done penning this note to you that I will slip outside for a run until the suns set.
Too much time has passed.
I know that sounds strange to say, but its true. Nexus seems a world away from Vortex, my friend. And I wish perhaps that it weren't so. I do hope this letter finds you well, that all the tasks you had laid out before you were completed in a timely manner. And in writing that I stare at the words and find them mundane and not at all what I'd really like to say. What I mean to say is that I hope this letter finds you smiling over something amusing, and that there is a noted lack of complaint currently about your life. I hope your worries are not too overwhelming and you cannot remember the last time you've felt a core-deep rage. No, I don't mean that either. Passion drives people, and its good to feel the range of it. Our laughter together was proof enough of that, I think.
Perhaps I shall give up penning something sensible that conveys what I mean and instead say only this...
I'm roaming a little. I know you said how much you'd enjoy traveling, and perhaps going a few places with me. I take you at your words. I have one last commission that needs tending too this season. A young man named Straylor requires my services and its urgent. Once that's completed and mailed off (part of the reason my workshop is in chaos), I will be hitting the coast for a while and taking a ferry to Demios. I've a mind to see the volcanoes and comb the caverns there for any gems that might be forged in the fires of those mighty giants.
I will be there on the 15th of Ioannes. If you've the time and inclination, please feel free to join me. The city itself is rather small, but I hear its a pleasant place to take a respite. And if perhaps you can come, it'd make the trip all that much more enjoyable. If other duties keep you, then please be well. There will be other times and other places to go see together if the urge ever strikes you.
I shouldn't say this but I think of you often.
-Kyia
