addressed to Thorne, but open to all.
To the Summoned of Thorne,
I have a proposition, a humble request, or perhaps an opportunity -- depending on how you choose to view it.
As you likely know by now, Kell and I have taken up residence in the city of Nott, which (as you also likely know) continues to be short on resources not as freely available there as they have been in the castle town. Recently, a plan was put in place to renovate the old hospital in Nott, which has been in disrepair and requires various physical upkeep, as well as staff.
If any of you should find yourselves with extra time you wish to donate, it would be well appreciated. If you have experience with architecture or building, that's great -- if not, that's not a problem. We need people to carry supplies, help make and bring meals for those doing the manual labor, or really just anyone who can hold a hammer and follow basic instructions. If you want to volunteer, work will be found for you; there are always never-ending lists of tasks, and never enough hands to take them up.
The weather is cold and wet now, but we're getting started on the interior. If you're willing to cast warming enchantments, that's also an option.
I can list more ideas if needed, but feel free to offer your talents. Surely, uses will be found for them. And I know you're all a talented enough bunch.
One more thing -- thank you to all who volunteered their time, coin, or gifts to the orphanage last month. The matrons have asked me to pass along their gratitude, and the note that they would continue to appreciate volunteers there too, as they don't have enough adults to mind the children at this time.
I know this has been a long-winded note. Thank you for your time.
Our door is always open to friends. Please don't be shy.
Yours,
(( ooc: feel free to handwave your character helping out at any of these things, incorporate it into your own logs icly, etc! this will be an ongoing project spanning at least a few months, so also definitely hit me up ooc if you want your character to take a more hands-on or leadership approach, or if you have any other ideas!!
the location is an old infirmary in Nott. NPC locals will be working on it, as part of the project is to provide jobs for people who need them. ))

Private.
Anyone can read this. Let's tread carefully, without assuming all Summoned feel exactly the same way about the Thornean Crown and any attitudes they may or may not harbor.
private forever
You're right.
I'm sorry. I will be more careful in the future.

[ His conversations with Lyle have made that very clear. Rhy might be a bit hypocritical, having also exaggerated his own ability to make a difference in his head, but every day spent understanding and engaging in the duties he's agreed to here teach him to adjust his views. Or at least to learn better ways of expressing them.
It's a good learning experience. He thinks their parents would be proud. (He's nearly given up hoping to see them again.) ]

[Will he? Maybe. One day. In the future. How far ? Who can tell. Not him by any means.]
I'm just frustrated. That's all.
[It's a lie. Of course, it's a lie. Yet Kell is too proud and stubborn to admit the truth. That he hates it.
He hates that nothing, not a single thing, has turned as he thought it would be. That he's permanently overworked and underslept trying to juggle all the thing he wants to do, on top of the things he had no idea that needs to be done, so they are both fed, have clean clothes, not living in filthy house or freezing to death in harsh Nott winter. All this so Rhy could concentrate on his duties as liason. Which are many. That's the least he can do knowing all too well that he's pretty useless in any diplomatic task that's more than being a glorified postman.
That he is the one not taking their move well. That he left so much good things he did not appreciate enough right until he lost them, to hear no gratitude ... or at least not in a way that counts in his opinion.
That Lila might have had a point calling him spoiled. That Mildred might have had a point calling his move madness. That Yennefer was right telling him to his face that it would be harder for him to study, while he won't completely escape from under the scrutiny as he hopes to.
But would never want to go back to the castle. It would have been like admitting defeat, and he's too proud to that. Instead, he advertises the wonders of Nott to all his friends that remain in the castle, in vain hope that maybe some day he will even believe it. He says nothing to Lucifer, though. He's the only one who would smell the deceit from a mile away.
All this while he privately seethes and stews in his hatred. Once again looking for excuses to go somewhere else.]
