dear elayna ,
i hope the travel from the capital to highgarden was pleasant , though i am sure your reply will tell me otherwise , and that you and oberyn are both doing well . i know this is not ideal , but i am proud of you for deciding to see the reach before deciding that you loathe it . it is not sunspear , but highgarden is a beautiful place . try to appreciate that while you are there . however , nymor calls for your return already , and we might all begin to miss you if you stay too long . rosalyn and aliandra send their love .
i was able to speak with lord tyrell at the feast . i understand he is not your preferred , but please do remember there are worse matches to be found , and even matches that seem at odds can change over time ; rosalyn was not someone i expected to trust when she arrived , but she is family now . you do not have to love him , now or ever , but do not hate him . it can be difficult to trust but he has not done anything to incur your ire . he is defensive enough as it is , likely some insecurity there , so your sharp tongue will only alienate him , not make him think you are clever . being kind often makes things easier .
we have reached the stormlands now , and may make a few stops along the coast as we return to dorne . i shall let you know if anything delays us . @pawncd
your brother ,
