For the codex entry prompt 16 and if it’s already been answered 26!
Very fun, thanks for asking! Will probably go ahead and do 26, in a bit, as well! [Codex prompt list] 2, 16, 17, 21 asked/answered! (My canon for Leth is Neve/Rook/Lucanis, but this is not long enough after the game that they’ve gotten their shit together yet lol)
Lucanis,
Is asking about the weather a rich people thing? Viago always starts his letters to important people with that, too. The weather is terrible. It’s the middle of summer in the swamplands, what did you expect? (I refuse to ask about how it is in Treviso; we both know it’s raining.)
The swatches for the fourth sitting room you sent both look exactly the same. (Still don’t understand why you need more than one. How many people can possibly need to be sitting at the same time?) I didn’t even know ‘ecru’ was a color. You’re on your own, there.
If you were trying to get me to say I miss you, you only had to ask: I miss you. And your coffee and your handmade blankets and your crow skull cuff links. And the way you look at me when you think I’m being ridiculous (often). And your desserts, and how you insist we visit that specific fishmonger, and how excited you get when you talk about wyverns. Other things, too, but there’s only so much paper out here.
I keep telling you, you just need to talk to Illario. Viago and Teia both said they weren’t going to get in the middle of your problems this time, and I’m pretty sure they meant it. If you can’t, ask Spite to teleport you into his brain, or something. (Or wait until I get back. We’ll figure it out. Do NOT ask your grandmother, Maker’s sake. I know you love her but she definitely would not help with this situation.)
The job is going well. Would be easier if he hadn’t decided to flee across this fucking swamp. Tempted to poison him in retaliation, but honestly I’d just like to be finished.
Bringing back spices for you, collected serials for Bel (let her read them first, she’s been waiting), ironbark for Davrin, funerary urn for Emmrich and some weirdly magical rocks for Spite to play with. Still looking for presents for Neve, Taash & Manfred (have something in mind for Assan, already). Would appreciate your input?
Going to see if I can stop and visit my clan on the way back. Need more vallaslin ink. Ask Bellara and Davrin if they need anything they can’t get in the city or Arlathan, please.
Answer a question for me? Your right hand has a scar on the back of it— small one, sort of curved. Is it between the third and fourth knuckles, or the fourth and fifth? I can’t remember, and it’s messing up my sketches.
You will probably have sent five more letters by the time you get this one, but hopefully the length makes up for it.
I miss you. And Spite. Home soon— promise.
Yours,
L. de Riva
