I haven't been sleeping well.

The reason is clear to me. Certain...things...keeping me awake. Then, of course, I only end up fatigued the next day, leading to more stress...

• "How frustrating."

Frustrating, yes. I've been looking for ways to ease my mind, so last night I tried writing a letter to my son. It actually felt good to get some of my worries down on paper.

Now I need the thing delivered. I don't trust the mail, and I'll surely not let a Shugo courier get his paws on something so personal.

Of course I'm too old to make the journey myself....

• "I'll take it for you."

Oh!

That's most charitable of you, young Daeva!

Are you sure you have time to help? I couldn't distract a Daeva from duty, especially with everything that's going on these days....

• Accept.
• Decline.

Thank you so much! How generous!

My son Qydro lives in Tolbas Village. Here is the letter--it's very private and so important. Please see that it gets to him.

• "I will. Good day."

Manos has asked you to deliver a letter to his son, Qydro.

I saw my father in a dream last night. He looked distressed, waving frantically and trying to speak, but I could hear nothing.

Dreams like that probably don't mean anything, but I can't help worrying.

I'm sorry...what can I do for you?

• "I have a letter from your father."

What? A letter? My father asked a Daeva to deliver a letter? I'm sorry, Daeva--I'm so embarrassed.

Although, I am relieved to receive this. This letter perhaps can ease the distress of my dream.

Thank you for taking time out of your day for such a simple task. Please take this reward along with my humble apologies and deep gratitude.

Manos in Verteron Citadel wanted to send a letter to his son Qydro in Tolbas Village. Because Manos does not trust the Shugo courier, you went to Tolbas Village to deliver the letter for him.
