On Tehr's return to the house, a pair of letters were waiting for him, from home. The first one was sealed with the family's insignia, the other one addressed to him in a familiar writing style of his sister. Tehr managed to make his way inside without any signs of the runner boy just yet at least. Within the building, there was no signs of Angelique yet, though a servant girl hired for the day did pause to bow and welcome him home courteously before rushing off again.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">First Letter - House Wynt</div><div class="spoiler_body">Tehr,<br/>The House Wynt has received several offers for the mithril and some offers that appear to include more than just mithril sale to them. While it is not unexpected for the families to be interested when a large quantity of mithril is involved, there is something a little troubling present in these offers. Unspoken, but implied threats. I wish to inquire from you for the betterment of the house if you have noticed similar signs during your stay in Londinium?<br/><br/>At the present time we are considering three competing bids. One from Dale, another from a trio of houses Saari, Raes and Ferenhel, but the last one comes from house Farel. These bids are close to one another, and though the trio of houses has offered the most of all, there have been implied suggestions of something more than coin in the other messages. <br/><br/>Someone's playing a dangerous game and I hope for your insight into this, if you wish to prove yourself the heir I wish you to help in uprooting this issue.<br/>-Lady Wynt</div></div><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Second Letter - Sister</div><div class="spoiler_body">Brother,<br/>Some of these offers, mother has been making jabbing remarks that they involve a marriage in the family, and suggested it might be better that way than with my present fiance. I admit there is not much love lost that way but at least I know who I would be getting in touch with. Right now I worry that mother will take one of those offers seriously.<br/><br/>I am coming to Londinium in a week's time, can you arrange for a small home somewhere nearby? The House will supply the funds for this, but I would like to live by myself, though somewhere relatively close to you. Perhaps I will find a young charming man by myself.</div></div><br/>A little while passed, before there was a knock on the door and the runner boy was waiting there, already tired from the message run, but smiling cheerfully he replied then. "The lady said they would expect you tomorrow then, but that they are unable and unwilling to travel during that day." The boy smiled a little. "I hope I did good." He added, smirking a little while gazing at Tehr curiously. "Also, can I have some of that bread now?" He was quick to inquire, looking around.<br/><br/>It was not that late yet, giving Tehr an ample chance to engage in his own projects for a while before the arrival of Tera at least.
