Winter is upon us, and if it is as I fear, it shall not be kind. Forgive my absence, I am taken quite ill and there was far too much to do to speak too long.

For those that brought me what they could, I have preserved it and stored it. It is ready for you to collect when you are able.

How many more deliveries do you have left?

[seaboard]

Only a few more, thankfully.

But please, I would love your company just for itself, also. Even if I am sure I look quite miserable.

How few is a few?

Consider me duly warned.

( really, he should probably be warning her about his own present state but where would the fun be in that? )
