Krel, not for the first time, made a mental note that she needed to replace the very old (and retired) Odgen. Perhaps, once she was done posting this letter to Ashley, she’d stop by Eeylops and see if she could afford an Odgen, II. The Post Office wasn’t busy, but then, she didn’t expect it to be seeing as school was in session and it wasn’t near enough to the holidays. She tapped her already sealed envelop against the palm of her hand as she tried to decide in which manner she was going to post this letter (actually she was trying to calculate her bank account to see which she could afford).

She stepped over to a large stone table to get out of the way of those that were coming and going and leaned against the table as she pondered. Would it really matter if Ash got the letter this week or next? It was a long way to America and she wished, not for the first time that her friend would move back to England, or at the very least, back to Europe so she was closer.

Krel let out a sigh.
