[Ansteorra] A Fond Farewell

[Sir Lyonel]

Salut cozyns,

Mo Zieu! Fra Cynric, much of Ansteorra will be completely lost without  
Mistress Seraphina. Bjornsborg  and Bryn Gwlad will be almost devoid  
of sophisticated humour without your sardonic grace.

Lost. Forever, lost.

*sigh*

Best wishes to you and your lovely lady, mo fra. 'Twill be a long  
decade.

En Lyonel
