Dear Ben,

I hope this letter finds you well. I hope this letter finds you at all, for you have been at sea for some time and I am uncertain which ship to send this to. I have addressed this to the Pincer X2, as it was most recently mentioned in the newsletter. I am wary of the logistics of sending a letter to a submarine, but that is for the post to figure out.

I have recently been approached by Silvestre Silentstep, who asked if I would consider him as a romantic partner and invited me out on a date. The two of us will be going to the Darkmoon Faire this Friday evening. I have never been to the Darkmoon Faire before, and I have also never been on a date before, so I would appreciate your advice. I understand you and Silvestre are good friends, and therefore I hypothesize that you may have some idea as to his preferences.

Here are my primary questions.

1. Who has legal jurisdiction over Darkmoon Island?

2. Does Silvestre prefer women with their hair up or with their hair down?

3. In your estimation, how likely is there to be combat at the Darkmoon Faire?

4. What will the weather be like on Darkmoon Island this time of year?

5. If it rains, which is more appropriate for a date: two normal-sized umbrellas or a single large umbrella?

6. Has Silvestre ever spoken to you of me? Did he say anything of note that you would feel comfortable sharing with me without betraying his confidence?

7. Do you have any general advice for dates?

I hope everything is going swimmingly in the fight against the naga, and that you are eating well and do not mind seafood.

Sincerely,
Cressidha
