Lady Evangelina,

Whether your letters arrive in the span of a few hours or several years, it will always be a good day when the messengers bring me a letter from you.

For the most part, when it comes to mediation, the Nikolaos House is the go-between for House Stravos and House Xanthos. Because we play a vital role in negotiations between those houses, we’re held in high regard and esteem. It’s a difficult reputation to live up to and uphold, but we’re well-known for cooperation and collaboration. I just… do my best. That’s the best that I can do.

I will keep in mind there is an open invitation for me to visit -- the stress can be quite difficult to manage at times. A personal trip abroad may be in order.

Are you really? Huh. Well, I am glad to have been lucky enough to have made a good first impression, then.

Lady Evangelina, I find you to be an exceptionally interesting person. I do fear that any questions you might ask of me will be met with painfully boring answers, but you are at leisure to ask me whatever you’d like. What impresses me most in a person is trustworthiness and a willingness to keep one’s word.

May the Gods find you well,

Lord Dysmas
