sometime after the "sparring"

[thereneverwas]

Given that they're both occupied in training recruits during the day, when quitting time rolls around, Barrow is largely on the same schedule as Dumas. It's at one such time that Barrow hastens his step to walk beside him, then falls into an easy stroll as they make their way across the courtyard.

"Look, mate," he says in a low, easy voice, "I think we got off on the wrong foot. You got ganged up on, and that wasn't fair.
'We're working together almost every day, I'd like if we got along, so..." He puts his hands up. "For what it's worth, sorry for the part I played in that."

Look, not like Lazar's the biggest guy around. But you get used to it, making assumptions. Assumptions like: I'm pretty big, or I've got some time to kill, and No one else takes this shift.

"Fucking hell," Dumas is a shadow to blot out the lantern. Lazar crumples pages away in a hurry. There's still ink abandoned on the table, and the tower's logbook still neatly shut away. "How'd you get up here that quiet?"

[Appearing in his post box (if his was fortunate enough to escape being destroyed by the abomination), or with other mail destined for him, or simply slipped under the door of whatever room he might be call his own, is a cream colored envelope with a simple pale pink seal.

Captain,

I am writing to extend my unalloyed best wishes for the fall season to you and yours, and to cordially issue an invitation to join myself and a few other select members of Riftwatch for an evening of dinner, dancing, and entertainment at the close of Kingsway.

This event has been arranged as a means to raise funds for the benefit of Riftwatch. Though a member of the Research Division and acting Assistant to the Seneschal, I have organized this benefit purely independently in the hopes of soliciting the good will of individuals who may, for whatever reason, typically not feel disposed to offer contributions to the organization. Nonetheless, I would be most grateful for your participation and engagement in this endeavor; indeed, your presence is vital to the evening's success.

If you are bold enough to accept this invitation, you will be rewarded handsomely with an excellent meal and very fine company shared in the setting of one of Kirkwall's finest estates, and will be required to perform no work more taxing than pleasant conversation (to whatever degree you find most appealing).

Please respond at your earliest convenience. Festivities will begin promptly at sundown on the selected date. All guests are encouraged to dress to their best advantage.

With Thanks,
Miss Wysteria A. Poppell
Research Division
Assistant to the Seneschal
