To All Whomst Live about This Lake, Most Kindly Residents, and their Spirit Kindred.

I write to you in the most sorry state, and I must beseech your goodwill to my lacking knowledge and skill so if that I write boldly with no invitation to do so you will look upon me with mercy if I have mistakenly given offense. You will do me the greatest kindness if you will take pity upon me, as I am now so far from home and so wholly without that which I know well. It is no small matter for me to be gone from where I came, I would not trouble your good humour with myself on anything less than the direst of situations.

It is paramount that in all haste that I send word to my homeland, as I have been assured no return is possible. There is a great matter for which it is my duty to attend and in such present circumstances as these, my absence will be a great misfortune. As I cannot leave in good time, I must at least send word to my Fathers that the succession has to pass to my sister due to this present situation.

I ask most heartily how I may do such a thing? I am at your mercy, please, take pity upon my lands, if not myself, for their are good and innocent citizens of the Isle that must be guided, as has been my family's duty for near 500 years.

Simply give me the means, and I will owe you a lifetime of gratitude, I have no more than the clothes on my back and the shoes on my feet and the love of the Great Sea-Father in my heart. Ask and whatever you wish that I can give is yours if you will but help me with this.

In salt-air and In ocean wave, I plead as a faithful if a helpless servant of the Sea-Father,

Gilia St. Loe, of the Isle St Loe. Daughter-Sea to the Spirit of the Great Ocean, Second-Child of the Isle, She Who Sings with the Ocean to Give Prosperity.

( as soon as her eyes light up, so does his grin, broadening again across his face as he scoops up another bite of his own. ) The flavor's called 'chocolate' - I'm not certain if such a thing is exclusive to ice cream or if there can be other 'chocolate' things as well.

( and he eats his bite, considering for the first time what he could even compare such a thing to. red bean paste, maybe? but this is quite a bit sweeter than that, and the flavor is darker, or perhaps that's just because he can see the chocolate and know that it's brown? who knows.

regardless, it's quite an excellent distraction from that which gilia read this morning. )

[ Happily, she scoops up another mouthful, eagerly devouring like she did not expect the second taste to be as good. Surely she had been mistaken.

But there - it was just as good, and she makes a happy, sated sound in just the sheer pleasure of enjoying it. ]

I could not rightly say. Perhaps there is no way to know other than to taste it?
