From Orion Frosthelm
His Royal Highness, Crown Prince Orion of Frosthelm
Capital Province, Frosthelm Prime
Danika,
It has been seven zeniths since I wrote you, and yet you have not responded.
The Astravants tell me that a zenith on my planet is similar to one rotation of your planet on its axis—a day, they called it.
So by your measure, it has been a week. That seems more than enough time for you to respond.
It leaves me to believe you are willfully ignoring me.
Or worse, giving me a female’s silent treatment.
This would be the first time any female has deigned to do so. Or perhaps they have done so and I have not noticed.
I notice yours.
I will not be ignored by my mate. You have one more zenith to respond or I will hop on my fastest ship and come pick you up myself.
It will take me ninety zeniths, and I will not be pleased when I get to you. If I must spend that long stuck aboard a ship, you won’t like the male who emerges to collect you.
I suggest you respond.
Orion Thalos
Crown Prince of Frosthelm
Your Fated Mate
