*'To Guest,
I noticed your absence from the banquet hall tonight, and found the room suddenly lacking. We spoke only briefly by the gallery, yet I find myself wishing we had spoken longer. You possess a sharp mind, Guest, and a presence that doesn't fade into the background—a rare thing in these halls.

Do not make me wait until the next formal court to hear your voice again. Write back and tell me when you will grant me an hour of your time.'*
