Dear Alli,

I have finally returned to the lands I have come to call home. Once more returning to my hot bath with Loky being kept carefully busy by a large bone. It's amazing how easily small animals can be distracted.

A few months have passed, but Brier and I returned from our journey and stay in Britain to the lands of Guardia. It was surprising, in a way, to have received no notes from Tristan while I was away, save for a few guild updates at the beginning of the week. But Brier was about for great company when she wasn't occupied by dancing, and the trip was utterly delightful for the vacation. I still have to return to my homelands of Taraglass for a stay with Mother and Father, as I have not seen them in ages. Mother took time to write me while I was away, but she claims that Father misses me and wishes my company. I am sure to take a trip to see them soon.

Ah yes, the mysterious trip with Brier where we packed in a few moments and didn't look back. She had received a scroll during one of our latest dance lessons informing her she had received a wonderful part in a ballet. So being the person I am, I went along for the ride and got to stay in a lovely inn and see Brier dance live on stage. She was absolutely incredible! Just amazing how she can perform and do the movements as she does. It was truly a joy to watch her.

While we were there, I also enjoyed the fine shopping areas of Britain, spending quite a bit of money myself, which means I probably will need to do something to make some more so I don't have to accept any from Mother.

But for now, I just wish to relax in my little room at the Guardia Inn and take a hot bath and let my muscles unwind and feel right at home again. Just wanted to let you know I was back, Alli, safe and sound. Perhaps I'll have more to write later when I have been back a few nights time.

By My Hand,
Brianne A. Alcinoos
