Summary
Alanna--
The more time I spend here the more certain I am that your seneschal's friend might have been a little deep in his cups when he saw this "demon wolf." For a start, the locals (who, to be clear, barely speak Common. Or, well, they certainly speak something but I am not entirely certain it's Common. It's certainly common, though.) can't seem really to decide if it's a) a bear b) a giant wolf or c) some kind of strange horse creature? There is a girl here who heard it from her cousin, or perhaps her brother, or both, but he says that his friend who is what passes for an apothecary here saw it in the night stealing medicine and swears up and down that it had human hands like a small girl. This has not given me much hope for finding anything other than more saddle sores and ticks.
My only consolation is knowing you're more displeased in your court dresses and setting about wedding preparations than I am here, on this lumpy, flea-ridden bed, wondering if the horse you loaned me is somehow deficient, as he seemed somehow more bone-rattling than the general run of such beasts.
Hell and damnation on you and yours.
All my love,
Numair Salmalín
