Marching Song, Part 1/?

I wrote this for dealbreaker19 as a part of the SansaxSandor letter exchange. It blossomed from what was suppose to be one letter into a full blown
epistolary romance. This is the first letter of several letters.

This is, as strange as it might seem to say so, one of the most romantic letters I've read - why? Because it's written by a man who has no idea how to express love or the longing for the lover, and still it manages to pour out through his words.

You've also put that book on medieval siege warfare to good use I can see! Quite a few things I'll have to look up to understand properly!

What made me really excited about approaching this prompt was the opportunity to write in Sandor's vernacular and to be romantic yet constrained by his personality and word choice. Its so much fun! When I watch a Marlon Brando movie like Streetcar Named Desire or On The Waterfront, he has an amazing ability to convey inarticulate soulfulness. So that's what I was trying to do here! I'm glad it worked and you found it romantic yet in character.

Quite a few things I'll have to look up to understand properly! lol, its all just wallpaper so no need to research. But yeah, its all authentic, including the biowarfare.
