Everybody has problems with Mondays, right? Well. Sabriel's isn't quite as bad as could be, he hopes. She'll find herself the recipient of a small bouquet of purple and red wildflowers with a thank you note firmly embedded and easily spotted from the middle of them. Delivery will not sing any songs, none of that nonsense now, no thank you. Inside is a $20 gift card to a local bed and bath place because he knows better than to expect everyone here has to eat. But everyone has to live in a place with a bathroom so really how can he go wrong here? Towels and cloths wear out, it's practical goddamnit. After that falls out is a short note that looks like it wasn't written all at once. Because it wasn't. Because this is probably a little strange and he knows that much.
For your contribution to the community at large. The magic you've taught April has been very appreciated & you should be thanked more often. - Will Graham
If he mentions his wife in the midst of pretty flowers it's less strange, right? Right? Time will tell.]
[The next day, a note arrives, written with a fountain pen on thick paper. The writing is neat and flowing, and surprisingly old fashioned considering the writer is a teenager.
My thanks for the flowers, and the gift. I'm delighted to hear that the skills I've taught are being put to good use -Sabriel
PS. Why don't you two visit me in Nonah sometime- I'll treat you to dinner!
[It might be thought that here, Will would just pick up the phone or send a text or something, but nope. Sabriel seems to approve of the old-fashioned way, and Will finds that worth following suit. So after he gets this note and stops smiling for two seconds, he sends her one back. Not with a fountain pen and not on any real amazing sort of stationary, but. It's in writing, it's personal that way, and he hopes she'll appreciate her efforts being returned in the same way.]
We'd love to. Just let us know a good date and time and we'll be there. - Will
[Of course he has no idea that not long after this goes out, there's going to be A Situation, but. That's the way of this place, isn't it? Things can always be rescheduled.
And truth be told, Sabriel had won April's vote of "yes" over immediately with the mention of free dinner. She must be good people.]
