[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.]
