It has been so long since I turned these pages. They have a fragrance of the sands, of age. This, a simple purchase from the Dalmascan bazaar, was always my favourite tale. So easily could I lose myself within, and I shall do so again, willingly.
That is, once I have given further thought to Mr. Wayne's proposition. I swore that I would not become involved in Discedo politics, yet with the recent events - kidnapping, another needless death - I agree that the city cannot continue, nor hope to thrive, in its current stead. However, for any plan to hope to succeed, there must be support for its development. Yes, the council system operates in Dalmasca, and has done so for years, but our people are dedicated to peace. Whilst many here show the same commitment, there are a number who pledge themselves to the opposite. Whatever the outcome, the path to an established system will not be easily achieved.
And... Yorda, I have something which may benefit greatly from your care. It would bring me happiness, should they survive.
