Dear Haurchefant,

I'll never forget the first time we met, beneath the boughs of the Twelveswood, when you asked me to be your steed. Oh, I'm sure you say that to all the adventurers, but young, naive thing I was, I was shocked! Flabbergasted! Speechless! You disappeared, laughing, and I swore in my fury and shame that I would find you and shove those indelicate words of yours where Azeyma's light doesn't reach.

I don't know why I didn't just punch you when next we met, the Twelve know you deserved it. I'd like to believe I'm above being taken in by charming smiles and dubious lines of flattery, but I never expected to meet with your exuberance and sheer audacity. If it weren't for firsthand experience, I'd think you were all talk, but. Well. I'll let you have this one.

Still, don't think for a moment you're off the hook. Next time, at least learn how to properly romance an adventurer, will you?

Observe:

Haurchefant Greystone, will you join me at Providence Point for a night to remember? With the stars over our heads and the finest sight in all creation spread beneath our feet, we'll raise a glass to those we've lost and those we can yet save, and we'll smile all the smiles for those who no longer can.

That is how you do it. I await your answer.

Yours,
Moonshade

P. S. I have something in my possession you'll be wanting back. It may be a little worn, but a shield with a hole is as good as a heart with a hole, no?
