Bonsoir, Miss Martinez.

It does strike me as a tad unusual to contact us, a group that the media portrays as nothing but miserable Gallic low lives, which I'd imagine anyone hailing from Bretonia to have a strong aversion to - us in Gallia don't have the best reputation down there, yet I digress. It would be a lie if I claimed by curiosity wasn't grabbed by your way with words as I seem to find myself slightly enthralled by my own curiosity.

Your words do you some honour it would seem as they, on their own, show me that I'm speaking someone with actual intellect, a nice change of pace. I find it refreshing that you're even willing to consider a more personal interaction. Depending on how sensitive the information is, there is a wide array of location that we could arrange a meeting. In the event of the desire for maximum privacy, I can arrange for you to come to a secure Brigand base within Gallia. You have my word that nothing bad will come of it, provided there is no foul play from your part.

I must also ask before venture further into these pleasantries, what are your relations with the crown, or any Gallic entities for that matter? A man in my position must remain ever vigilant and observative, I'm sure you understand.

Signed,

Mathieu Rousseau
