[ the note and the apple are a welcome surprise. tim laughlin does not often receive gifts. in fact, gifts are better left for the king, the princess, or the royal betrothed, hawk himself. ]
I am always troubled by conflict between kingdoms. It's my duty. In the future, perhaps I'll try to find something a little more mundane to worry over, so as not to distract you from your lessons.
All the same, you should be mindful what you commit to writing. Though your penmanship is elegant, bold, confident. It's handsome to the eye, but there is something untamed in it. You must have a very steady hand.
Who did you send after the apple? You'd best not have left the walls without guard. All the same, I will have to judge your assessment of the apple myself when next we meet - we'll halve it. I assume that's how it would be, were we to have found the tree ourselves in your land.
