What business have you with the esteemed House Balyk?
An urgent letter? Let me see... Why, it's from dear Ardashir! At least we now know he is not out begging on the streets!
Ardashir is the youngest son of our House. Father was upset he forsook blood and nation to tinker with soot-stained alembics, and thus he never wrote.
He never even told us how we might contact him, so we've naturally been worried sick. Now he writes...that he's found a new trading associate for Father? Some merchant named Rowena. He says she can help us in our plight.
What a peculiar topic for him to write about. He was always so recalcitrant about the family business. Perhaps he is homesick and trying to make amends?
Nevertheless, we are delighted to hear from him. It is true that our country is in a precarious position. But I am elated to know my brother is safe and happy in Eorzea.
Thank you for delivering this letter. I will share it with my sisters at once.
