[ sometimes, when you wear a lot of armor and have fat fingers, you make a couple of mistakes when selecting a recipient. ]
Lady Marianne, I hope this message finds you well.
[ is he still gonna be 200% over the top for a stupid text message? yes. ]
With the temperatures dipping as they have, I thought to see if there were any winter accessories you were still in need of. There is a stall down the way that sells a number of delightfully patterned mittens and scarves. If you would like I would be happy to pick something up for you as thanks for assisting me with the compass earlier.
[ see, he even learned PUNCTUATION and the ENTER button!! too bad this message will never reach marianne, RIP. ]
[ There are many puzzling things about this message. The first is that the sender seems to have mistaken her for Marianne. Also, the sender seems incredibly formal-- thoughtful, and fond of sewing patterns, it seems. Goodness, has Marianne made a friend? How delightful!
... Except, oh. This... wasn't seen by Marianne, was it. It takes Mercedes a good bit of time to formulate a response-- not because she doesn't have one, but because typing is Ridiculous. ]
Excuse me, but I'm afraid you've contacted the wrong person. Marianne does seem partial to blue, however, if I might offer my opinion on a thank-you gift.
The pleasure is mine, Sir Frederick! And yes, that's right. I think if you were to buy her anything, however, just the thought would be more than enough.
Thank you, for looking after her. While I'm in the Court of Stars, there's little I can do.
Well, it couldn't really be helped. We're from the same place and attended an academy together, but she and another friend of mine were in the other faction when I ran across them here.

I'm terribly sorry for the inconvenience.
I appear to selected incorrectly on the compass.
[ Just when he thought he'd mastered some of these strange functions. Clearly he has much more to learn. ]
Are you a friend of hers, by chance?
no subject
I am, yes! My name is Mercedes von Martritz. Who might you be?[ Not someone she knows, that's for sure. Even if the formality sounds a lot like Dimitri... then again, he'd never call any of them by a title. ]
no subject
My apologies.
I am Sir Frederick of Ylisse, though perhaps it would be more accurate to say that I am of the Moon Temple now.
[ Please don't ask for a last name. ]
It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.
You said she's fond of blue, correct?
no subject

no subject
How is it the two of you ended on opposite sides as friends?
[ He missed that part of the spiel. ]

Well, it couldn't really be helped. We're from the same place and attended an academy together, but she and another friend of mine were in the other faction when I ran across them here.no subject
I’m sorry to hear that.
If you’d like, I can keep an eye out for this other friend of yours as well.
no subject
Goodness, that's very kind of you! Would there be anything I could do for you in return?no subject
There's enough conflict without us adding more to the mix.
[ Thanks, Emmeryn, for teaching him that one. ]
You needn't trouble yourself on my behalf, but if I'm ever in your neck of the woods I will be sure to call on you.
[ Just to say hello, not to cash in on a favor. ]
no subject
Please do! I'd love to be able to make your acquaintance in person. Especially someone who shares the same views I do in regards to kindness.no subject
I can only hope the conflict between the Court of Stars and the Moon Temple does not rid us both of that kindness.
[ war.....is Rough ]
Ah, but what is the name of your other friend in the Moon Temple? I'll be sure to say hello should I run into them.
no subject
His name is Felix. Felix Hugo Fraldarius.
Please don't be offended if he frowns at you, or acts dismissively, or threatens you. He's merely sheltering his feelings.
no subject
Never fear, one of my fellow Shepherds acts in quite a similar manner.
I don't suppose this Felix also loves the blade?
[ just checking for Science(TM) ]
no subject
My goodness, how did you know? I hadn't thought that those fond of swords would be that similar!no subject
[ Anyway, enough about that! ]
But I appreciate the helpful advice you've given, despite us never having spoken before.
I hope to make your acquaintance in person someday.
no subject
I'd like that! I'm sure sooner rather than later, our paths will cross. I can only hope the reason will be an amicable one.
