Please tell me that all is well!

It is not so bad as I thought. I cannot write, I am speaking to my phone now, but I will not lose my arm, and by Asharai I will heal and not fall to the wound fever.

You must visit me, all of you, even if you avoid one another in your feuding. The pain - the pain is bad, but I must bear it, because I have seen too many half-drowned in taishel-syrup and never the same in the mind after their bodies healed. The medics here are too quick to press for these things! I am not so damaged to be left to that!

Tell me you are reading this and you are not hurt, and nothing worse came of this. You are all blameless to me. It happened because it was seen to happen, and we are all powerless before the magic that underpins the world.

Katarin,

I'm so thankful to hear from you. I can't tell you how sorry I am. I was so convinced that Hamilton was going to shoot, I ended up being the catalyst to the whole mess myself. That'll teach me to doubt your instincts.

No further harm. I've been extremely civil to our new friend. One has to double their efforts when they've tried to end their life, after all. I'm going to show him how to use this so he can respond for himself.

Can I bring you anything?

- Crawley

You were right to doubt me! If I heard that one of my messenger-girls in Privkat were to be shot by a stranger, and when I went out to her aid she would not leave his side? Ai, more than doubt. You did not know our friend could not have shot me had his own life depended on it.

You were an instrument of fate, there is nothing to be sorry for.

Will you bring me a length of blue cloth, or a blanket - anything, so long as it is blue?

	You are very wise for one so young, and very understanding for one so wounded. I am lucky. A lesser woman would have me in stocks. Of course. Dare I ask why? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

If this were Kordala and you were my enemy, I would have your head! But you are not, and here I would prefer to have another friend. Let me tell you a secret. I am to rule someday, and rulers must be merciful.

Oh. Blue is for constancy. Blue will prevent the bleeding and help me to heal well. It means that I am not now going to battle, but safe at home. You do not have this custom?

	Crawley, I'm the one who should be apologising for dragging you into that whole mess, old friend. I should have asked more questions about Madrigal's vision before rushing headlong into it. Is the American still furious with us? - Black (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hello Lyla! What is a holo...no, strike that through, tell me, is he safe? Was he very badly hurt? I cannot say which I prefer, as I know nothing about either. Is it important? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
