My Dearest Maddoct,
I wasn't going to say it, but I must admit that your letter made me tear up. Before Sedryn, and I reckon because my parents are gone, no one's ever been so willing to drop everything to come to me before. I appreciate it, perhaps more than you would understand, and it means very much to me. I'm glad you weren't here to say it because I was blubbering like a small child and it was really embarrassing.
With more rest, my ribs will be fine. We will stay here for a few more days, and Sedryn refuses to leave without me. I told him to go home so that his mother wouldn't worry, and that you could come, but he wouldn't hear of it. He said that even being a healer, I can't look at my own ribs and can't take care of them myself. I finished writing a letter to Blid, I wanted to wait for some time to have passed so that it didn't reach him before he got too far, and he turned around to come right back. I think that's something he would've done.
Hopefully, I'll be able to return home soon, but then I suspect that I will be out of work until I feel better. I will write you as soon as I'm back so that you can stop being so worried.
I do wonder what this feeling is that you have. I think people get strong feelings like that for a reason. Maybe the world is trying to tell you something with your restless mind, and you just haven't heard it yet. And I hope even more that it has nothing to do with Blid or his journey, and that everything goes as it's supposed to.
I'll be home soon.
With much love,
Liffey
