| Mihai
Mihai finds Amber and Nadzieja having breakfast in the kitchen. The Szef has donned her traditional uniform, although this set has short sleeves instead of long ones. As for Amber, she is wearing her new Myrzen clothes—which make her look a little older than she is.
"Hi Mihai!" she says to her brother. "Here, have something to eat."
She smiles and presents a bowl of fruit salad to Mihai. Nadzieja nods at him and waits for his response. ____________
Steve and Konrad
Femke peers at Konrad and asks him, "Are you sure?" |

| Mihai nods at Nadzieja, then takes the bowl - "Thanks" - grabs a fork and starts eating. |

| Konrad nearly answers on instinct, but hesitates. "Must I? ...Fine, I had a bad dream. Nothing I can't deal with." |

| Konrad sighs. "I know, I just want to be tough."
"I was back on board my captain's ship, and we were fighting. I don't remember who, but Kira was there. When I killed her, I thought this must be a good dream. But, it wasn't Kira, it was Naomi. And then, Luther started butchering my friends and family, and I couldn't move." |

Amber smiles again and says, "Good, 'cause I made it! Nadia showed me how."
"Your sister learns fast," Nadzieja remarks. |

| Konrad doesn't answer for a while. "I think I need to visit my brother. And I want to find my niece and nephew. I only know what they look like." |

| "From letters? I don't think we'll have time after the Tournament. May feels closer than she did before. Are you sure that was the only thing?" |

"Hey, you smiled!" Amber exclaims. She then turns to the Szef and tells her, "He does that like once a week."
Nadzieja chuckles and says to Mihai, "Make sure to eat as much as you can; today is going to be a long day." |

| Konrad winces at the second question. He answers the first in deadpan tone.
"I saw them in the illusion Snicker showed me of my family's death. And, no, there was the part where I looked in the mirror and saw Sam looking back at me for a couple seconds. Other than that, I had best sleep I've had in months." |

| "Got it." - he keeps munching till he's done with his mouthfull, then thinks for a moment before finally speaking up - "Might as well say it now. Nick Bradshaw's aspect - the Orb guy in my head - greeted me this morning when i woke up. Got a few more of his memories after i tried reaching out to it. Not doing that again." |

| "Oh, I'm sorry. I should have remembered that." He sets down his fork and stares at his breakfast, worried. |

| "It's fine, we've got a lot on our minds."
"Then I should write to them." He leans back and looks up for a moment. "What do you write to an estranged relative you've never met?" |

| "A sincere letter introducing yourself and why you are contacting them. Tell them where they can reach you if they want to and that you'll write back. Maybe if they are up to it, you could visit after things calm down. Just don't push too hard and respect their decision if they don't want to meet you. You aren't trying to win an argument, you are letting them know you want to change the relationship. |

Femke slowly starts eating again. ____________
Mihai
Nadzieja and Amber stare at Mihai for a long time before any of them say something. "Wait, you like, summoned his Aspect?" Amber asks. |

| Mihai shakes his head - "I don't know if he was really there or just in my head. Either way, i doubt i'd be able to call him back. And maybe it's better that i can't, all things considered." |

| Konrad blinks. "Wow. That's actually sound advice. Thank you, Steve."
He looks at the young Tyke eating. "How's your food, Femke?" |

| Steve nods and continues eating his breakfast. He'll clear his plate and go back for seconds. He has the feeling he's going to need the food today. |

"...Are you okay right now?" Amber asks. ____________

| "Yeah." - he looks between them again before continuing - "There was never any pretending this wasn't progressing. It'll probably happen again a few times before we grab Edward by the throat - there's no avoiding that. So let's eat while we can, and maybe i'll talk about the time we had soup and pancakes at Nomad's Cove." |

| He smiles. "Good! I've got a letter that I need to send, but before I do I need to find my bank, if they have a branch in town. I'm going to need directions, or a map, to find those places. Oh, do you have the summary of Goodman's notes on you? I'd like to read it."- Letter to Monastery:
This letter is addressed to "Master Avalon"
Dear Master Avalon,
I hope this letter finds you and your family in good health. I've gone to Myr for the tournament for succession of First, and in so doing I encountered one of your former children and students, Szef Nadzieja Zerva, the leader of clan Zdetermiwa. I would like to think I've made a good impression. She remembers you fondly, and I think you must be very proud of her. I wish to express my deepest apologies, without reserve, for my barbaric and undignified behavior toward you and your brothers and sisters many months ago. To show that I am sincere in these words, I want you, Master Avalon, to keep the coin that I, Konrad Granger, have sent along with this letter as a donation to do with as you deem. I hope to visit one day soon to give voice to my sentiments in person.
Best regards, Konrad Granger, Captain of the Vulcan
--Attached to the letter is a cheque for 50 gold (or a parcel of equal amount)
