Angus rereads it, frowns then quickly scribbles out a reply on the following page.

"Dear Aunt Lucy.

Why did Lup recommend the Old Mill Tea Rooms?! She's only been in once, maybe twice and was really rude about it. Is she spying on me as well as Taako? I don't need checking up on!"

He paused. Then crossed out the explanation mark and wrote with less bite:

"I don't need checking up on !, you know. Not even by you and auntie Lup. I'm not so little nowadays. Also, you had a Chai latte, Ma'am, so that opening sentence doesn't make sense, chai isn't coffee."

He rereads that, and adds a little doodle of a laughing face to soften the line.

"So that opening sentence doesn't make sense, chai isn't coffee. : D

For future reference? Mrs Cosie herself brews the best teas; especially charmed ones. Klaarg would like her very much. Florence makes the best normal coffee. But arguably Quorf the Sorcerer makes the best enchanted coffee, except he only works Wednesdays. I do, however, hands down make the best hearts with the steamed milk. That's not a boast, Dale even enchanted my name tag to say so.

As for when I am off, I can't say for definite as we swap shifts about a lot. But currently I tend to work Saturday mornings, most Sundays all day, and then depending on my classes, do the afternoons shifts Monday to Wednesday. If that works for you? I can always ask to swap days if need be.

Were you at the library today? Is that why you were in town too? If you like, let me know when you're next in Neverwinter, I could always bring a coffee to you after I finish work? I think that would be nice, I've missed you.

Please tell team sweet flips + co Hello and that I apologise too, for getting snippy at them. I am really sorry. Like really really sorry. And you guys are welcome any time even when I'm there, but I can't hang out or goof about. Afterwards, sure but not when I'm working. Regarding the BBQ, yes ma'am next Saturday it is. I'll definitely see you there. I'm really looking forward to it. Seems too long since the last one, what with the adventure camp and all.

Also, aunty How did you find the shortbread? Did you know the leaf on the design is a simplification of the halfling word for luck? If you can keep a secret, then I recommend the carrot cakes. They are better than Taako's, but I DID NOT say that! And did you know Robbie used to work here? Well you probably did actually. but I still find that Weird.

Love you too, Angus x

Ps. no, no you don't want to know. I'm sure they'll explain though if you ask.
