You have high fantasies for what I look like - an impressive imagination. I've left a vial of oil by your bath side. Next you wash your hair, put this in after. I should like to see your waves celebrated and cared for.
[ the vial is wrapped in something - a kerchief - a custom of the land to show tentative interest. the fabric smells of cinnamon and spice and is well worn. the pattern on it? the colors of a different country. ]
Be kind to her. I beg of you. Care for her in as much as you can. She is a good woman, a dear companion of mine. Only then will I consider lending my heart to anyone.
I'll share in due time, of course. But you're right - writing can be dangerous, even if I must tell you my office is nearly more sacred than the King's throne. Only you and I have they key to this.
I think it might be better to show you what I wrote, instead, at our lunch.
