Open Post: Ogden Thorne
Open to: Mutuals with companion characters/characters with access to the Lighthouse. (Can be OCs or canon) Setting: Rook's Quarters in the Lighthouse Notes: Ogden tends to go by Rook or Thorne, his first name isn't normally something he introduces himself with. You may use that detail as you see fit.
The letter is sat unopened beside him. The handwriting on it is exquisite, a hand trained in penmanship to impress. It had all the correct flourishes and curves, each one a delicate, stark contrast to the warmth of the paper beneath it. Yet it remained untouched since it arrived.
Laird Ogden Stuart Drumain Senior Warden of the Grey Wardens
He couldn't bring himself to touch it. Very few people knew his given name, let alone his middle family name. He preferred it that way. He had been Warden Thorne for so long, or just Thorne. And now Rook. To see Ogden Stuart Drumain starkly written in such a delicate hand almost felt mocking.
Evka and Antoine, being some of the few who knew his first name, had been able to give it to him, inquiring if it was for him. He had taken it without confirming or denying it. The wax seal was unbroken and had caused his stomach to churn.
It was his family's seal. Were they even still his family? His parents had, essentially, burned him out of the tree. He hadn't spoken to any of them in, what? Twenty-five years? Why now send a letter? The use of the title was another matter, as well.
The sound of a knock on his chamber door drew him from his thoughts, pulling his gaze from the affronting piece of paper.
"Come in," he said, not getting up from the sofa, eyes returning to the letter, still waiting unopened.
