[Nephrite]

A smile as he heads back to his room to continue reading!

[Nephrite]

[Anastasia]

Dearest Moore

Enclosed is a token of my esteem. Use it wisely.

Be well.

Within the letter is a simple ring of iron and gold bands.

[Nephrite]

Moore will identify the ring as he is wont to do!

[Anastasia]

Will save.
