Lady Ashelia,

Please accept my deepest sympathy and loss, yet rest assured that Warjilis is running smoothly and your friends have been notified.

Should you require anything else, know that I will respond with hesitation.

[The response comes some time later, as the princess had been tending to her child, a duty which had been carried out by her maids in the wake of Rasler's loss, allowing her time to grieve. It would be Shain, ultimately, who would unknowingly lend her strength enough to endure, even if the prospect of a future without his father tore at her heart.]

[News of Delita's actions on her behalf had since reached the estate, and she owed him a reply at the least.]

My gratitude is yours.

I would hear any message you may have to relay.

You are welcome, yet there is nothing that cannot hold for a short while.

Your friends have asked of you, yet they understand your lack of strength at present.

[Strength. That word alone conjures up a memory - some months ago, when talk that the Sky People were about to be sent home began to circulate. Rasler held her, spoke words of reassurance.

We must be strong... for each other, and for Shain.

She holds on to the memory just as she held her prince and makes a silent vow to him, and herself, to regain her strength, even if it evades her now.]

I acknowledge their concern. I must gather my thoughts before addressing them myself.

Delita... the people. What is the feeling amongst them?

[Delita will not force her to be strong. He will happily foster her dependence.]

The people understand your actions, yet they shall grow restless soon. I have asked them to bide their time, lest you wish I and your aides address the minor tasks in your stead.
