Theres a letter for you.
Tafel turned her head away from her paper. At the entrance of her room, there was a skeleton. It was standing still, holding out a latter in its right hand. Tafel raised an eyebrow. Well? What are you waiting for? she asked and stretched out her arm. Bring it here.
The skeleton walked over and placed the letter in Tafels hand. Then, it turned around and walked away, causing Tafel to stare at it with a slight furrow in her brow. Sotis, she wasnt sure if the skeletons were the remains of once-rude people or if they had been damaged during the process of being turned into an undead. Or perhaps, the skeleton was having a bad day. Tafel shrugged and opened the letter. Her eyes lit up upon seeing the contents, and she climbed to her feet. A silver glow appeared on her horns, and a portal opened beside her. She stuffed the paper she was reading earlier inside of it before opening a second portal. She poked her head inside of it and looked around before walking through.
Hi, Tafel, Vur said. He was sitting on a wooden box, facing the Recordkeeper who was also sitting on a wooden box. Not too far away from them, placed in the middle of the room, there was an opulent couch made from bear fur. How are you?
Im good, Tafel said and glanced at the couch. A few skeletons walked around it, carrying boxes and furniture pieces. Thankfully, with the addition of wardrobes and cabinets and shelves and paintings placed against the walls, the golden glare had been significantly reduced. Why are you sitting on the boxes and not the couch?
Im already comfortable, Vur said. He nodded at Tafel. Are you here to test another spell?
Tafel raised the letter in her hand. Nope, she said and shook her head. She walked over to Vur and took a seat on another wooden box. Luckily, there was a whole pile of them placed on the ground. Alice finally announced the ti and date of her wedding with Mr. Skelly. She sent us a bunch of questions she wants answered, an RSVP letter.
Stella tilted her head. What does RSVP stand for?
Tafel furrowed her brow. She had never really thought about it before. Respond soon, Vur, please, Tafel said with a straight face and nodded upon seeing the fairy queen blinking as if she were stunned. She leaned closer to Vur and placed the letter between him and herself.
Vur raised an eyebrow. Why does she even need to ask so of these questions?
She sent the sa letter to everyone she knows, Tafel said. So, even though she knows well definitely be there, itll still ask us if were going to be there or not. She looked around before opening a portal and retrieved a quill and so ink. The portal closed as she wrote down her and Vurs na before scribbling a checkmark on the box indicating they would be there. She glanced at Vur. What do you want to eat at the wedding?
Raw bear at, Vur said.
Good choice, Tafel said and wrote down Vurs suggestion word for word.
Stella pointed at the letter. Youre supposed to choose between fish, chicken, pork, or beef. Rather than checking boxes with different options, Tafel had written over them in large letters.
Those are suggestions, Tafel said. If we werent supposed to offer our own suggestions, there wouldnt have been space to write any down.
But there wasnt space.
Moving on, Tafel said and cleared her throat. Relationship status, married. Traveling accommodations, not required. Inn accommodations, also not required. Song requests. Tafel turned her head towards Vur. Do you have any song requests? I think theyre for dances.
Vur shook his head.
Alright, Tafel said. Her horns glowed silver, and a portal appeared beside her. Without warning, there was a short scream, and Alice tumbled out with a stack of papers in her arms. Tafel and Vur blinked at the guild master that was lying on the ground with a confused expression on her face. Tafel cleared her throat. I think thats the first ti sothing like this has ever happened.
You opened a portal right in front of , didnt you? Alice asked as she picked herself off the ground and glared at Tafel.
Not on purpose, Tafel said and held the letter out to Alice. We filled out your RSVP letter.
You couldve just mailed it back to , Alice said and grabbed it. Her eye twitched upon seeing the writing that had been added to the food section. Thanks. She put it on top of the pile of papers she had dropped. Oh, can you ask so of your dragon friends if theyd like to co? The people related to dont really approve of my relationship with Nate, but theyll keep their mouths shut with dragons staring them down at the wedding.
You could always not invite them, Tafel said. Just because theyre related to you doesnt an they have to be a part of your life.
Alice rolled her eyes. But how am I supposed to let them know Im happy despite their protests?
I guess if thats what you want your wedding to stand for, Tafel said and scratched her head. But yeah, we can ask Gloria and Ramon to co. Theyre baby dragons, and they love anything new. I bet theyll be ecstatic to hear theyve been invited to a wedding, and theres no way their parents will let them go unaccompanied.
Alice raised an eyebrow. So, thats a yes to dragons? Im guessing theyll want bear at as well?
Probably, Tafel said. Although, so of them only eat moonlight.
Alice nodded. Alright, she said. Ill be sure to commission a few quests for bears. If I sticky it on the mission board at the adventurers guild, I bet Ill have more at than the dragons can eat by the ti of the wedding.
Abuse of power, Tafel said while coughing. She smiled upon seeing Alices glare. Dont look at like that. Ill definitely bring dragons for you to terrorize your relatives with.
