Ulvin! How good to finally hear from you, dearest!

I've seen you once since the wedding. I know that newlyweds get busy, but would it kill you to visit?

Actually, let's table that for a bit. I suppose it would.

Anyway, business first! I sent you a short little missive a bit ago, a mere ninety-five words. I counted. Ninety-eight if you include the date, but I protest that 9 Lupar 947 is not in fact three words.

I sent this letter to you because you seemed to want to stay on the friendly side of things with your wife's neighbors. So, I wanted to not be a monster-in-law and help. After all, you were the reason it was requested.

Destroying shrines when no one is about to defend month-after-month has caused my liaison consternation. You think no one saw you at these sleepy hours, but they reported it. This may shock you but the ability to defile is rare. Most other hostiles are already on my enemy roster for one reason or another.

I also can't build shrines so if I want help it becomes a partnership. Give and take. Help with what, you ask?

Well, I'm going to take the controversial opinion that I do not enjoy being set on fire. It is a witch thing, I know, but I'm just so picky about it.

I didn't support this expansion of existing laws, but it is good business to show effort in meeting associate needs. The Regency pondered, the Ayes had it. It turns out 'I don't want to be set on fire' is not a controversial opinion after all. Democracy at work.

You are family now, so I wanted to be sure you knew. They tell me that a few days later you did it again anyway. I do hope you weren't surprised; I don't know how much more notice I could give you.

Ok, that's done!

I realize this is early, but will you be coming for Logosmas? It is a lovely time with cakes and half-nog, ugly sweaters, and the exchanging of gifts. I hope you are but that requires you get this little legal bit managed up prior. I do not want you to miss the cookies and if you keep antagonizing your wife's friends and neighbors, I fear that you might be stuck with leftovers. They heat up ok but it's just not the same. Mayaween is an even bigger deal but that'll depend on what you do going forward. I think you two could have the cutest costumes and the parties are always a highlight!

Welcome to the Visindi, Ulvin. We'd love to see you at the reunions so make good choices!

Love,
Your Adoring Mother-In-Law
