Hey Khanh,
Sorry I haven’t been writing. It’s not that I don’t like you or your letters or the adventures of the wee baby Thao, but you know. Honestly, I’ve tried writing this letter maybe thirteen times but I keep screwing it up too much. Fourteenth time’s the charm.
So dragons. Dragons are a thing. That’s why I asked. But you already know that. But did you also know that’s why I didn’t write until now? Because I don’t know, I guess I was waiting for you to say something before I did. It’s hard to explain. I met some people who just came over from the mainland and they were talking about dragons being a thing, and no one, including me, believed them. And we thought they were crazy. Can you blame me for not wanting you to think I’m crazy? I mean, you already think that, but there’s only so much crazy everyone can handle before someone’s sent over to fetch me. By the way, thanks for refusing to fetch me. I’m assuming they asked already.
No one was killed in our attack, apart from the livestock. A few injuries and messed-up houses, but the real problem is the farming fields and again, livestock. The town is doing rations and I don't know, everywhere around me someone is doing something. Hunters hunting, guards making a shelter, the only carpenter in town working her ass off on repairs. Miners are getting any ore they can for trade since we lost the fields. My best friend is working on a new bell and even the tailor said she was swamped with orders.
I don't know where I'm going with this. I guess I kind of want to help, but I've got no idea where to start. I know, right? Me, actually doing work. I don't know. I've offered to help here and there. One time the guard captain and me picked peaches from an old tree in town, and the tavern keeper asked me to go foraging, but for some reason getting a hold of people who could help forage is really hard. Guessing it's because everyone is so busy. So all I can think of doing is writing pa. And maybe doing something goofy like a treasure hunt so everyone can get their minds off of stuff. Wish me luck?
I'm really glad to hear you and Thao and everyone else is safe. Please stay that way! Let me know if I can do anything to help. But help is still not guaranteed, haha.
Love and best wishes,

P.S.: I mean, I suppose dragons are a good reason to not send me a birthday gift. But only if dragons are a good reason to not send you or Thao anything, too. For current, future, and past birthdays. Oh, the struggles we face.
