Lady Ashelia,

Please accept my deepest sympathy and loss, yet rest assured that Warjilis is running smoothly and your friends have been notified.

Should you require anything else, know that I will respond with hesitation.

[To be strong seems a goal out of reach, however - nothing feels in perspective. No matter how much she demands strength of herself it simply isn't there to grasp, she's blinded by the harsh reality of being widowed for a second time, and feels ill prepared in her decision-making. Having spent time with her son had felt calming, allowed her some objectivity, but facing matters of state...]

You would do that?

[While Delita may not understand the loss of a spouse, a needless death of family rings close.]

I will freely give of my services if it can ease your days. Until you are clear in thought, I would give you the opportunity to care for son and self.

[Unintentional as it may be, those words, 'son and self' only draw her attention to the fact that she is now very much alone in parental responsibility to Shain. The infant prince will depend on her, but what is unsaid is that she will need him equally. As such, the opportunity Delita offers is greatly welcome.]

Thank you. I accept your offer. There are others in Warjilis who [She searches for the right word] have absent family. It is they who must take priority by way of provisions and support.

[Suddenly she feels all the closer to the people, save for birthright she is no different to other wives bereft of their husbands at Gaia's will.]

[Feeling closer to the people raises her standing in Delita's eyes, but he wishes that she not feel pressured to overcome all alone.]

Then I shall see to their welfare first.

[When she feels ready to talk, she may accept an offered ear. Right now, the pain is just too raw to speak of.]

Then I give you my blessing to act in my stead.

[An ear that will be given freely.]

Thank you.
