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.

For all else, since it seems I have been ordered to stay a-bed for the most part until my strength returns, perhaps someone might play a game with me? It is very simple, you must come with a rhyme to match mine, then we continue until one of us cannot think of a line, I shall begin:

There once was a lady with a basket of berries-

I would be much obliged as I am frightfully bored.

Yours in faith and in courage against the long dark,

Queen Gilia St. Loe, Daughter-Sea, She Who Sings the Ocean to Prosperity and the Endless Wail.

[ooc: real life ate me so damn hard, please just assume Gilia's be bed ridden and sick for the entire month and people could have checked up on her and told her to go back to sleep every time she protested being busy.]

Ah! Lady Gilia, I didn't hear that you were unwell. I'm sorry — is there anything I can do for you as a doctor?

（ rhyming...? maybe later. but for now, just gonna hyperfocus on that sick bit. it's not that she doesn't trust the physicians in hale, per se, but... well, second opinions and all. ）

Along with her charms she carried-

May I assist you in any way, Lady Gilia? I'm sorry to hear you've been ill.

It's good to hear from you again, Lady Gilia, but I was quite unaware of your sudden illness. Is it safe to assume that the harvest's curse has affected you as well?

If so, there might be a subtle remedy that could help. Although, that would require you to travel to Mirth and I certainly wouldn't dare suggest it in your condition.

Instead, maybe I could offer you some hot tea and honey? That along with some much needed company.

Seems to be going around.

( what was it that mavis called it? hanahaki. calling it lovesickness seems unbearably trite. nevermind his abject refusal to believe that the root cause of all of this is unresolved emotions. )

Do you need any help with the remaining work?

Mislaid on the march to the man she would marry—

Alas! She was kinda gross and smelly.
