This new missive was born out of impatience and uncertainty, and the magpie that arrived seemed equally anxious and twittery.
Colonel Immortalis,

The raven that delivers this message seems hesitant to speak. Even after being given its due, it remains silent for several long moments - as if the silence itself is part of the message.

A week later, a common bluejay arrives, crowing Nassar's name. This one clutches a sprig of chamomile in its claws.

Nassar had fallen silent after receiving Kvothe's last letter. Summer is acceptable. It had struck her as too final to warrant a response. Only when his second missive arrived, one of the King's Chamomile in the bird's talons, did Nassar respond.
Colonel Immortalis,
Your friend, Nassar
