Xo'keye. Hybrid form.
He had painstakingly arranged everything. There were flowers, there was wine, and there was food--and a secluded location that he had managed to secure for the evening. Keeping the feelings of surprise and anticipation out of the Bond had been a challenge--but the feelings he'd been getting through the Bond from Tristanis were stressed; doubtless from the war and all.
So, Xo'keye had decided to put together a little something to surprise Tristanis--it had been a little over a year since they had first met, and subsequently, a little over a year since they had discovered their Bond.
He'd sent a letter out a few days before, written as neatly as he could manage.
Asi'avi,
I hope that this letter finds you well. Rayzer has been... interesting to get along with, but he has been helpful. He assured me that this letter would reach you as quickly as it could. If it is not much trouble, I'm hoping that you could slip away from the war for a little while and meet me in Lamenolai.
Near the center of the city, you'll find another letter, near a fountain. It will be underneath a stone to keep it from flying away in the wind.
Yours,
Xo'keye
