Letters
Dear Castien,
I will answer your inquiries, but you are correct in thinking it is only to ensure a high mark.
On my desk are books, ink in varying colors, my quill stand, and a small statue. I prefer a clear desk to a cluttered one, yet my poor maid has to clean it often.
I will confess I have a fondness toward fiction, but I do not mind dictating history. There is a weightiness to it that gives purpose to my work.
Lastly, are you asking this question for the essay, or because you wish to make a request? In either case, I have only ever written fictional tales for one person. It would be a high price indeed for me to add another.
Since I am already making this correspondence, it seems prudent to add questions of my own. However, I am rather distracted and cannot think of any. So I shall ask one of yours instead: what does a Gifted strategist keep on his desk?
Ever begrudgingly,
Wren
