Clearly Gundren was putting in an effort to make her feel welcome and valued, which was reassuring to know. One was never quite sure where one stood with in-laws, after all.<br/><br/>She allowed Twin to help her into the chaise, and stow the bulk of her luggage away. She offered the new young man her hand to shake. "Collin. A pleasure to meet you, lad." She looked between the two men. "My thanks to Gundren for arranging such a welcome and an escort, and it is much appreciated. This is my first trip to Neverwinter, and I'm not familiar with cities of this size at all, really." She fixed her smile on Collin, casting her eyes over him and noting his chain shirt. "I don't plan to get into any kind of trouble, but if I do, I'll be glad to know I won't be fighting alone."<br/><br/>Her eyes lit up at the mention of Clara and the letter. "Oh, good! She is such a dear friend, and I so look forward to reconnecting with her. Such a comfort."<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Letter to Clara</div><div class="spoiler_body"><em>Dearest Clara,<br/><br/>I pray that this letter finds you well.<br/><br/>I have wonderful news - my little Adrik has been accepted for an apprenticeship with a mason in Eartheart! It seems like only yesterday that he was just a little boy playing with blocks, but he is a man now, and shows great promise for masonry. I see a bright future ahead of him.<br/><br/>So departs the last of our household. This hearth holds many memories, some sweet, some bitter, but now that is all they are - memories. One day one of our children may come back to make this the seat of their new family, but until that day, I see no reason to dwell here. I have put the house and pastures out to lease, and will be travelling for the foreseeable future.<br/><br/>And where would I go but to follow you, dear Clara? You gave me such solace in my time of grief, and offered me more comforts than I could imagine from any other woman. Many a night have I lain in my bed, recalling the joy that you brought me. If you are still in Neverwinter, then I would dearly love to see you again, for that is where I am bound. Perhaps I could bake that parsnip and goat casserole you always loved so much. You may find me through Gundren Rockseeker, a cousin of Harsk who does much business in Neverwinter, and who may well have some work to keep me busy in this next phase of my life.<br/><br/>May the Revered Mother watch over you always, and bring you all the joy and comfort you desire.<br/><br/>Yours forever,<br/><br/>Kathra Brighthammer<br/></em><br/></div></div>
