As the day comes to an end, a messenger arrives with a letter to Kitsuki Yuushahime.
The letter is bound with an emerald green ribbon, and small branch of budding plum has been attached to it.
Unrolling the delicate sea-foam colored paper, it reveals masterful brush-strokes placed upon the paper with great care and patience.
In addition to the letter, there is one more scroll.
"Honorable Kitsuki Yuushahime-sama,
it is my honor to pen this letter adressed to your esteemed personage today, and I hope that my humble message finds you in good spirits at the hour you recieve this.
My name is Kitsuki Ayame, loyal servant of the Dragon, and a minor diplomat currently in Benten Seido as a part of princess Domotai's retinue to pay respects at the temple. I spent the winter in Kyuden Otomo where I acquired a small amount of praise for my artistic work with the brush, far too kind flattery for one so unskilled as I compared to the great artisans of the Crane Clan.
As my business conclude in Benten Seido, I believe I should take the opportunity to meet with you when and where it would be convenient. While I am no great magistrate as yourself, I have watched the ebb and flow of court for some time, and I have acquired strong ties to the Imperial families, as I myself wed a man of the Otomo family as the Emperor's Winter Court concluded.
I have taken the liberty of including with this letter one of the paintings I made this winter. This was one that was rather favored by Lady Kitsuki Iweko."
I await your word.
Kitsuki Ayame"
