Grand Admiral -

I am sending this bottle of excellent Pandarian plum wine together with my best wishes for yourself and your family this Winter Veil season. I trust all are well, and that your brother (sister?) had a splendid wedding.

I wonder if you have given further thought to my request for assistance from the 7th Legion.

Warm regards,
Adm. S. Fallon

Admiral Fallon -

You do not celebrate Winter Veil, a fact of which I am aware because you have been extremely sarcastic at me about it in the past. In addition, the traditional holiday “exchange” of gifts is more in the spirit of spontaneous generosity rather than in the sense of “I will trade you the 7th Legion for a bottle of wine.”

Happy holidays,
Grand Adm. Jes-Tereth

P.S. It was my sister, and it was not her wedding but the birth of her first child. You attended her wedding three years ago.

P.P.S. It is very nice wine, though. Thank you.

Grand Admiral -

Whether I observe the holiday personally or not, might I not offer a gift in the ecumenical spirit of friendship? And, in addition, my congratulations to your sister on the birth of her first child?

I would never be so crass as to expect that one might exchange a bottle of wine for the 7th Legion. Please accept these two further bottles and let me know where we stand.

Best wishes,
Adm. S. Fallon

Admiral Fallon -

Have you considered sending the wine to High Commander Wyrmbane?

Regards,
Jes-Tereth

Wyrmbane does not drink. I have made other overtures to him.

Happy new year.

Best regards,
S. Fallon

still I think

Happy new year Fallon. I am glad we are friends even if you are a colossal pain in the ass. I promise I am looking into the 7th Legion thing. Not because of the wine but because we are friends and also military cooperation etc. It is very good wine though. I might be a little bit drunk. Are you drunk in Pandaria?

Admiral Fallon -

I believe a letter may have been dispatched in error from my office last night. You will disregard.

I dare not speculate on the nature of your overtures to High Commander Wyrmbane, but I am glad to report nonetheless that we are in the process of arranging the dispatch of 7th Legion personnel. Before said arrangements are formalized, I want to clarify that your request was for a single expeditionary unit.

Grand Admiral -

That is correct. The Horde forays onto the beach are no longer concerted efforts but scattered guerilla actions, and I believe an expeditionary unit is the swiftest and most efficient way to counter them. I believe as well that pandaren assent to the entry of additional Alliance personnel into Pandaria is more easily obtained the fewer such personnel there are, and that we would be best-served by representing them as scouts and guards for our prospective trade outpost in the Krasarang Wilds rather than a special forces unit.

My request was, specifically, for the 6th E.U., if that can be arranged.

Respectfully,
Yr. obdt. svt.,
Adm. S. Fallon

P.S. I am also glad we are friends. And yes, I am regularly drunk in Pandaria.

Admiral Fallon -

The 6th Expeditionary Unit of the 7th Legion, under the command of Captain Zath Tyrrell, will report through the Paw’don Village portal on January 10th, once all permissions have been secured. They will liaise there with you or one of your officers.

They will be accompanied by a group from the Explorers’ League of Ironforge led by Prospector Aitne Windwright. This group will make local surveys of the area, and we trust their inclusion will reassure the pandaren that our intentions are diplomatic and scholarly rather than aggressive.

All aggressive intentions should be kept strictly confidential.

Regards,
Grand Adm. Jes-Tereth

P.S. I have no idea what you’re talking about and will thank you not to mention it again.
