<div class="floatleft">(https://data.whicdn.com/images/326888879/original.jpg)</div>It had taken her some time to come to a decision, though she hadn't thought it would. Some things, though, required a lot of thought even if you thought it was an easy matter.<br/><br/>She had three people vying for her attention, all offering the same thing, and all expecting an answer sooner than later. All of them had something to offer her and it came down to whether or not she wanted to accept. One of them, however, made her skin crawl a bit and so that was an easy decision. Penning a response to Countess Ulrika von Mocab, she would politely decline her offer while thanking her for it.<br/><br/>That left the other two, Meadows in the Sky and Lady Whitecastle. And there is the reason why reaching a decision had been so hard. Both had so much to offer her and she would love to work with both of them but she couldn't. To be honest she had tossed and turned about it, their words floating in her head while she had been trying to sleep. Really, it came down to actually making a list of the pros and cons for each of them and one of them came up over the other... if only slightly.<br/><br/>Penning a second letter, she would tell Meadows in the Sky that she regretted having to tell him this but she was declining his offer. While he had a lot to offer her she felt that someone else was the better road for her to follow. But progress had a definite foothold in her heart and maybe, in the future, they could work together.<br/><br/>And so that left Lady Whitecastle. To her she would write that she was accepting her offer and that she looked forward to working with her in the future. She had her reasons for this final decision, of course, but they were for her to know and others to find out if they cared to. What would this alliance mean for her? Only the time would tell.
