Marshal,

I would like to formally request an audience with you. There is an idea, which I wholly believe in, for improving some of the reparation efforts I wish to share with you in the hopes that something may come of it. 

If it is convenient, please write me with the time and place best suited for such a discussion. Do not trouble yourself should your work disallow a short conversation with me. I can be resourceful.

Respectfully,
Noora

Postscript-- Make no mistake: I am contacting you solely as a matter of business. Because my uncle is so unwell and otherwise inaccessible and I am told Thisbē’s king is insufferably mad, it seems you are my greatest prospect in this.

Dear Noora,

I’m surprised to see that you are reaching out to me (albeit as a last ditch resource), as I recall you being under the impression I was incapable of thinking of anyone but myself in times of crisis. Even if your mind has not been changed, I am more than happy to hear your thoughts and assist in whatever way I can.

My schedule has been changing fairly often with council duties and engaging with other members on restoration matters. That being said, I have included some tentative dates and times, most being early evening. I can come to you if that is easiest, or if you prefer to create less of a stir, the address of the home at which I am staying is enclosed. Let me know what works best for you.

Hope you are well and your leg has recovered.

In Business,
Éodred

Lord of Business,

As seems to be a recurring problem, you mistake me. In my experience, you seem to choose to be the hero whenever possible - something which may incidentally benefit others, as it did me. I believe, in that way, you are considerate of others. That is to say, when it suits you. And it is that very aspect of your character that I intend to appeal to.

I will go to you at the end of this week, if that appointment is still agreeable with your dynamic schedule.

Resourcefully,
Noora

Dear Noora,

It seems we have both misunderstood one another - me about your intentions and you about my character - though I think it detected a compliment in there somewhere. Your impressions of me are quite interesting, and unfortunately only based on a few shared moments together. Hopefully our meeting can help dispel some of those opinions you’ve formed. If not, I expect you will have no problem letting me know.

Looking forward to your business proposal.

Dear Noora,

I wanted to be the first to inform you that I will be departing your city shortly, as our council efforts are wrapping up and are no longer necessary. I believe that it’s partially thanks to you and your business mind, so please accept my gratitude for being able to help move things forward for Noria quicker than we may have without you. Whether it was out of love for your city or detest for my presence, it was an effort that shouldn’t go unnoticed.

On a personal note, I will be back in Vanyar for a short time before traveling on to Thisbē for Solstice. If you are planning to attend, I would like to extend an invitation to share a drink - or dance if you’re so inclined - in celebration of what can only be deemed as my heroic departure from Noria.

I hope you and your family are well.

Marshal,

This is happy news, indeed. I am sure you are eager to return home and no doubt the people of Vanyar will be relieved to see for themselves that you are alive and well and only minorly singed.

I am flattered by your praise but I think you give me entirely too much credit for an idea that was not my own. Your part was significant as well and I thank you for it. I appreciate that you were willing to hear me out, to begin with. The efforts of the reduced Council have been impressive and sagacious, as well. These are things that will not be soon forgotten.

If you have time before your departure, you should go see how quickly our endeavor has flourished in that little corner of the Bowery– assuming you have not already. I will be there tomorrow and Hakkonsday, should you require a guide that will not be awestruck out of the ability to speak by your presence.

As to Solstice… I do not yet know what my plans will entail. Although, I daresay it will take more than a drink and a dance to tempt me away from Noria in her time of need.

I wish you and your family a safe journey home, Marshal.

Respectfully,
Noora

Noora,

I think we all did what we could in such a troubling situation. I certainly don’t deserve much in the way of thanks, but appreciate it all the same. My only goal was to aid in ways I would expect should it have been my own city impacted.

Are you attempting to get on my good side for another proposal? I hope so…I wouldn’t want you to lose your edge in calling out my shortcomings. Goddess knows I need someone to keep my head on straight and not bow to me for being able to string a sentence together. That being said, I have not had the opportunity to come by the Bowery, but will make it a priority to meet you there before my departure.

I completely understand your concerns about leaving Noria given everything that’s been going on. If it’s at all helpful (in either direction) my mother has been wondering about an audience with you and your family. Perhaps a trip to Thisbē would allow you more opportunities to hide from that.

Just something to consider.

Best,
Éodred
