MystHaven ~Two days ago ~
Noticing Otto the Swift, outside the stables in MystHaven just after Rue was stripped of his Captaincy, the dark-haired man walked over slowly to the messenger and long-distance runner he knew well enough. "Can you get off your ass and run some missives for me, you flatfooted slacker?" Rue attempted to joke, but thoughts of his two buried unborn children sat heavy on his mind and he could not conjure the telltale Denali grin. With any luck, Otto followed Rue to Patton's general store, where Rue quickly etched out several short missives in several locations around the Isle, people he needed to contact immediately - like his father. He sealed them with the common black wax at the counter, and then handed them to Otto. Pulling out what coins he had in his pouch that hadn't fallen out when Andor had carried him in to be charged, Rue handed them but one to Otto, giving the last to the clerk for the parchment, ink and wax he used. "I've got the rest of your fee up at Brookshire and you know I'm good for it. Come find me there after you've reached Larmian. I'll be at The Hart Pub." He figured it shouldn't take Otto longer than a few days to travel by ferry, horse, or foot to those destinations. Rue leaned in close to Otto, his night in jail had left him unclean and unshaven. "You may like to read on your travels. But, read those, and I'll know, and I'll make sure you'll never be able to read again." the_____________end A brief background on Rue Denali: http://www.dragonmyst.f2s.com/char/rue.html "It sounds cold, but it's not cold," he explains. "I mean, what the truth in life is, you need failures, you need tough times to get any kind of value on what's important to you and what's not. There's no way around it."
