[ Seeing an actual proper letter on this network is enough of a curiosity that Jiang Cheng actually takes the time to read the very long and painstakingly polite letter properly instead of just jumping to conclusions.

Alas, the conclusions are pretty much exactly what his first thought had been and thus, the curtness of his response is only a little bit lessened.

He does hesitate a little at how to address her, the unfamiliar terms are obviously titles but which and how to address her by it? She's obviously gentry, so manners should be minded, to some extent, even if the sheer extent to which she lowers herself in supplication makes his hackles raise rather than convincing him to help. ]


Daughter-Sea,

You would do well not to make too many promises to strangers, or to put yourself at anyone's mercy just yet.

None of us prisoners can help you send a letter home. If anybody offers, it's a lie.

If you want to go home, help us figure out how to fight our captors and escape this place.

Jiang Cheng, courtesy name Wanyin, sect leader of the Yunmeng Jiang


[ There. That is polite, right? ]
