My thanks to all those who participated in the creation of the Outlanders and Animals Calendar, especially those of you who volunteered at the last minute to finish the job for our friends who have gone on to other worlds. Your efforts made a process that could have been stressful smooth as a bolt of silk, and I cannot voice my appreciation enough.

Now the time has come to place orders. Please, Outlanders of Vallo, support the well-being of animals both wild and domestic and the artistic efforts of your compatriots by pre-ordering on the Art of Expression website. The previews I have seen of the work of our photographers are truly beautiful, and accordingly to my brother-in-law, "So hot! And so cute! Some are both!" I believe you will not be disappointed if you take one or more of these calendars into your home.

All of your work is beautiful, and I consider myself privileged to be able to work on this project with you all. Because it has so exceeded my expectations, I thought that perhaps in addition to the calendars, we might make some of the photographs available as limited edition prints. Would you be interested in doing so, and if so, do you have any particular shots you think would make fine individual pieces of art?

I wish only to say that I am sorry for your loss, and that if your work schedule requires any accommodations accordingly you need only tell me. I hope that you and your family are all well in this difficult time.

I thought you might prefer less company yesterday, rather than more, but I wish to express my sorrow for the departure of Eleanor and Marina. If there is anything I can do to support you, please say so.

	You are too kind, brother. And I have disliked these days, as well. So many friends gone out of our reach, and I will miss every one of them. I am considering establishing a shrine here at the covert, not necessarily for the dead, but for those who have gone on from Vallo to other lives. I know it could seem morbid, but that is not how I am thinking of it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Truthful. I think a shrine would give those left behind a sense of permanence, since even landmarks and homes can disappear. I— did something similar for myself after Wei Wuxian’s death, hidden by the springs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Regardless, I am pleased with the work so far, and I think it will raise significant money for the animal charities. I will forever be grateful to Wei Wuxian for his encouragement in the matter, however ridiculous a form he may have given it in.

Such memorials are more for the living than for the dead, after all. Thus it seems it matters little whether the people who have left us are actually dead or merely moved on. We miss them all the same, so why not light our incense and pour a cup of wine for them?

	He has always been gentle with all animals. Even those he dislikes. He possesses a soft heart. I would find immeasurable comfort in it. (Reply to this) (Parent)
