& one more kiss goodnight (inthereins) wrote in usurper, |
Sweet Elia,
The Dornish column has arrived. I am swarmed by Daynes, Yronwoods and Ullers. No Elia (and no Oberyn, so I assume that your dutiful brother remains by your side). If you have need of anything, or if any preparations must be made, please send instructions, otherwise I will call on the Grand Maester to prepare for any potential situation.
It is duty (and duty only) that keeps me from saddling Mistral to meet you in the desert. I have tried to reach out to you through the long waste of miles between us; though my arms long to hold you, I hope that my mind and heart will meet you as you travel. Perhaps it is not merely a dream that brings me to you; my dreams are the same. Heat and fire, your smile soft and fleeting beneath the gathering clouds before the rain comes.
Take your time and make your farewells, my love. Even through my anxiety, I understand the need to end something well. You owe it to yourself to do this as you would see it done. My love for you only grows and if it splits me at the seams, I only hope that your fair hand might knit me together again.
I will wait for you -- I will wait as long as I am able.
Your Rhaegar
