Walking into her office, Hallie softly closes the door and looks around. Smiling, she takes the basket that hangs from her arm and places it on her desk. Reaching into a nearby cupboard, she pulls down a crystal vase and walks over to the wash basin to fill it with fresh water. Humming a soft, soothing tune, she begins to arrange the blooms into the vase, trimming the stems to offer a grand effect with the wide variety of flowers.
As she works on the arrangement, she just happens to look down and notices the envelope on the floor.
It seems as if someone slipped this under the door. For Heaven's sake why? The door is never locked...
Bending down, she picks up the envelope and breaks the wax seal. Unfolding the envelope, she begins to read.
To Whom it May Concern:
I had heard of your beautiful realm and am soon to be wed. I was hoping that I might be able to retain your services, or the services of one of your priests to officiate over my wedding. Also, I would have need of renting a honeymoon suite in your local inn.
As of right now, the date is not set and not much is known about how the wedding will proceed. I only wish to gain permission before making further plans.
If you have any questions or wish to reply to this request, you may reach me at Airuza for the time being. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Lillias MacGumerait
Finishing with the letter, she smiles brightly and places the letter on the ArchSeraphim's desk for Darian to read later. He would be as pleased about this as she, for he also loved a good wedding.
Returning to her desk, she pulls out a piece of parchment and her quill and ink and carefully begins to compose a reply.
Dearest Miss MacGumerait,
It pleases me and does my heart good to have learned of your joyous news! Congratulations on your new engagement.
To begin, our services are always available to you. You only need send word of when it will be held in advance and things will be ready. I will need your color scheme, how many will be in attendance and whether you would prefer a Priest or Priestess to officiate, as well as any other information you might find pertinent to the event.
The inn has many rooms, and when you send me word, I shall reserve however many rooms you need for yourselves and your wedding party.
Once your date is set, let me know and we will see about getting things to become more permanent on our schedules. I am looking forward to hearing from you soon, Milady. Oh, and by the way... next time, let your courier know that my office is never sealed, and that he can leave further missives upon my desk. I almost missed this one.
Congratulations again, to you and your beau. I wish you the best of luck in your endeavors.

Smiling broadly, she blows on the ink until it dries and carefully folds the parchment into an envelope. Holding her sealing wax into the flame of a candle, she heats it, then dabs a good amount onto the flap of the envelope. Grabbing her seal, she presses the cold metal into the wax, leaving the insignia of her rank and office upon the sealed envelope.
Carrying the envelope and her now empty basket, she leaves her office and begins walking, finding her own personal courier not far from her door. Holding out the letter, she smiles and speaks.
Please, would you take this to the realm of Airuza and put this letter in the hands of a Lady Lillias MacGumerait?
The man nods and takes the letter slowly, bowing, he waits for permission before bolting for his the stables and his steed.
With a bounce in her step, she walks along the path, watching her messenger until he is out of sight. Her soft tune again starts, floating on the air lightly as she enjoys the quiet of the morning.
