Dear Neal,
So I've finally met this Keladry girl you've been writing me for four years about! She's much taller than I expected. Taller than your sister, at any rate.
Kel seems friendly. She has a monster of a horse, and she seems a bit intimidated by Lord Raoul. I'm not sure why, as he is one of the friendliest men I've met. I heard about that thing with her maid- maybe she wasn't expecting to be a squire, that she'd have to repeat four years? You weren't very clear about it in your last letter.
She does seem like a lovely girl, and a good friend. Hopefully I will get to know her better over the next few years.
Don't irritate Lady Alanna too much. It wouldn't do you good to be dead a week into squiredom.
Your cousin,
Dom
