Martha, finding no one at the Elysian Field yet keen to report her return and be in compliance with the Rules, spends time writing a neat letter to Asa. Carefully, politely, leaving it for his attention, close to his official chamber.
Your Royal Highness,
I regret my recent, and unforeseen, absence. This absence was in no way intended to be a slight to you.
I beg the opportunity to serve you once more and, at your discretion, return to an Acknowledged status within your Domain and hereby humbly petition for an audience.
I remain, as always, loyal and at your service.
Semper Fidelis
Miss Martha Villiers
Asa Clarke
