Zeph,
By the time you read this, I will have gone to Acaris, as planned.
I have been reinstated with the guild and must tend to my family's business.
In two weeks time, I will return to Vasiliádon.
It is my hope beyond hopes that we can speak again when I return.
We have come too far over the years for us to be parted for long.
In truth, the loneliness is unbearable without you.
I miss your company and your smile so dearly.
Whatever it takes to see that smile again, I hope to give you.
When I return, we can set sail for Athenia, without question.
If that is what you wish, meet met here precisely two weeks from this marked date.
As you well know, I am never late.
You can rely on me.
Always and Forever,
Basilides

The letter is folded and sealed with too much wax, the symbols of the Children of Mnemosyne and the Merchant's Guild of Taengea pressed in.
The letter is left with the innkeeper along with the remainder of Zephyrus' belongings and a certain amount of coin to pay for his stay upon his return.
