Lessara purred softly, then gasped, arching her back and pressing her shoulders into her mistress's chest.  After a moment, she replied, "Of course, mistress."  She reached down to the desk and picked up the letter, showing the unbroken seal, then, understanding the instructions were to present it for reading, broke the seal and unfolded the letter.<br/><br/><em>My lady, <br/> It struck me as impudent to expect to be able to entertain a person I've never known before at the first meeting.  I send in my place a gift that I believe will entertain you.  <br/>  Puzzle is a rare new breed of concubine with many unique features.  I'm sure you can spend many days unlocking her secrets.  <br/>  As I would like to know more about you, and other ways you might be amused, please do me the honor of exchanging letters.  <br/>  I will be hunting furnace rhinos in the south with my cousin Jabal for the next month, and also attending a tournament for supernatural martial artists.  <br/>  In hopes of a charming friendship,  <br/>  Cynis Harkonen</em>
