Becca had just returned to the Chateau, when Gaston held a scroll out towards her. She stared for a long moment at the scroll, then lifted her gaze, and stared at Gaston. No words were exchanged but much was said between the two. Gaston's hand never wavered holding out the scroll. Finally Becca took it from him with an uncertainy, her step not as light as she climbed the stairs and entered her room, turning, scroll in hand she softly shut the door. Her room stood bare, save for a soft mat upon the floor. Gaston had told her the fabrics, and furniture that Nessa had ordered had arrived weeks ago. But Becca would not hear of it, she would decorate her room with Nessa, and that would be that. And when Nessa was up to it, she would ask. She slid the slippers from her feet, and lowered to her knees upon the mat, she held the scroll in her hand for a long just staring at it. She tried to imagine what Mythios would want of her, but she did know one thing for certain, there would be no way of getting around it, if he wanted her to know something, she would. A deep breath drawn in and held, then slowly released she broke the wax seal, and unscrolled the scroll. As she remembered from the last time, no words could be seen until she stared at it and watched them appear. The missive read. "My dear child Rebecca~" She arched a brow at how chatty and friendly that sounded coming from the likes of him, a soft shake of her head, and she read on. "I am writing to say, that I had enjoyed your visit. I spend so much time alone and at work, that I oft times forget what being social means to me. Your friendly nature and quick wit really eased a loneliness that I had been ignoring in myself. I would like for you to come for another visit. I understand you have family to consider, so I leave the time up to you, but please consider my offer. I will be more then happy to discuss some of the things we did not address the last time you were here. I have realized you are apt to handle much of what I have to say, in reguards to your parents. I await word from you my dear, as to when to expect your next visit." Becca's mouth hung open as she read. and it was then penned, "Warm reguards~ Mythios" Suddenly Becca was scrambling off her mat and heading to her balcony, remembering the last missive that turned into horrid spiders, and then burst into flame. But as her feet just hit the bare floor the words swirled and the the scroll changed, this time however it turned into dozens of brilliantly colored butterflys. Becca gasped and chuckled as they made flight out the open door, after swirling round her head in a fluttery dance. She held that smile on her lips for the rest of the day. It would seem as a wise person once said, that when one door shuts, another doth open. Life will go on for Becca, ever changing....but that is how life is. She felt things were going to change for the better, and if she could help it, they would be.
