[lifeofendurance]

WHO: Aleron, Gwenaëlle, Bethany
WHAT: Al promised a souvenir, he's delivering it and some good ole fashioned big brothering.
WHEN: Backdated, midmonth
WHERE: Skyhold
NOTES: TBD

Busy busy busy. Aleron's been wrapped up with running hither and fro for months now, with nary a moment to rest, much less squeeze in visits with his little cousin. It is a problem he's decided to rectify now. However, there's the matter of the fabric Gigi had asked for before he'd taken off for Perendale. The gift is painfully overdue. He can't quite take credit for the selection either, as Bethany had a hand in helping.

Thank the Maker for Bethany.

So, she's been invited along with the delivery of the softest velveteen that could be gotten in Nevarra. It's a deep sable in color and the bundle is tied with a deep plum ribbon. The merchant had insisted it would make a fine accessory to whatever the young woman intended for the material, though Aleron had gotten the impression the man had thought it was for Bethany instead. Perhaps he should have gotten more for her?

Either way, he's expecting a scolding for having been away so much of late. Hopefully the fabric will smooth things over.

But he's still not alright with the realization that the little girl that used to sit on his wife's lap is now a woman grown in her own right. Old enough to want nice fabric and have opinions about his courting someone. Where have the years gone?
