Imogen,

It must be a real something special if you're coming to me and not someone in your society.

I'm lingering at your neighboring Freeport. A lot's weighing on me too, but I can spare some time for you if you need it. Today, or otherwise.

And don't presume. Expectations are fickle things. I've been meaning to speak with you again, in fact.

By the way - you may want to brace for a talking to if you haven't received one already. I had to fill in one of your chiefs on what happened, and she didn't seem happy. I tried to cover for you. Perhaps it'll soften the blow a little.
