Pio thanked the man who had sung the song for her. It had lightened her mood somewhat. She turned from the south facing window where she stood collecting her jumbled thoughts, looking for Cami.
There she stood, reading a letter of her own. 'Must be pleasant news.' thought Pio, watching her friend's smile grow wider as she read along. She saw Cami glance her way, and she motioned for the Elf to come over to her.
'Tell me your news, Cami. It looks to be good from the expression on your face. And when you're done, I want to consult with you about the letter I received.'
She placed the slim envelope from Mithadan in Cami's hand, bidding her sit down with her while she read it.
