[Bordermarch] what we did (or, the corner is a lonely place)...

[tessa]

M'lord Beau and M'lady Karen,
Thank you both for this interesting read of your fine experience at the 
Cantu Benefit Demo.
Glad you had a good time and were able to be there to represent Bordermarch 
on the field and in the arts discussions.
Yes, that is a wonderful group of populace at Raven's Fort.
Regards,
Tessa
