Mr. Harry Mason,
You are cordially invited to "chase away the blues" brought on by this rather droll sort of holiday thing.
Activities include imbibing vast amounts of alcohol and a rather good stew, courtesy of yours truly.
If you do not heed this invitation, do keep in mind it is backed by a royal ordinance from Her Lovely Majesty, Queen Ashelia B'Nargain Dalmasca.
And if that isn't incentive enough, I can send a shrieking ice banshee to come collect you.
Yours Sincerely,
Balthier
Rather miserable sort of holiday.
Glad I've been saving that sherry. And I've scavenged half a bottle of some fruity liquor. It's sweet but definitely strong. Seems like a good occasion as any to do a bit of damage.
