“Years, it would seem, Lady Serra. Forgive my lack of contact, me and Rhaella have been remarkably busy with both the boys and well, everything that’s happened since then. I am well, thank you. And yourself? It seems so much has changed in the last few years that when something seems to have barely changed at all, like you, it’s a little bit….a little bit strange, really.”
“Indeed. Your lack of communication is both understandable and easily forgiven, Orys. And I suppose I haven’t made much contact either, so it is partly my mistake too although I have no clear reason for my actions. There’s been nothing in particular up North keeping me from contact... from either you or Rhaella, much less two mischievous little boys, I imagine. Though I do suppose I haven’t changed too much. I am very much the same girl I was two or three years ago, perhaps a little taller now. But I do hope that the little change is a good thing?”
