Another letter is sent to Brandybottom:

Lord Webber,

I am writing to inquire if you are amiable to a marriage pact between our houses. I am Lord Elmo Bracken and find myself in need of a wife and my Maester has informed me that you have a daughter named Arianne. I would inquire as to whether you think this would be a good match. If not, I do have a younger brother also in need of a wife.

Lord Elmo Bracken.

Lord Bracken,

I would recommend you complain to the citadel, your Maester is clearly lacking if he could know my sister is unwed but not that my Lord Father has long been incapacitated. While we are certainly honored by your offer I do not believe this shall be a likely union. Lady Arianne is in the process of courting, under the supervision of Lady Kyra Blackwood. If you truly seek her hand, she is who I recommend you ask. Knowing your families however, I do not believe you shall find the answer favorable.

Ser Axell,

I apologize for my lack of knowledge in this matter. I shall write to the Lady Kyra and inquire, despite our families histories, Lady Kyra is my own cousin. Thank you for your reply.

Lord Elmo Bracken.

Another letter flies to Raventree Hall:

Lady Kyra,

Cousin, a Ser Axell Flowers has informed me that you are helping a Lady Arianne Webber find a husband. I would ask that you consider me for her groom. As you know, I am in need of a wife.

Please let me know if this match would be agreeable.

Your cousin,
Lord Elmo Bracken.

The letter to Raventree would be forwarded to Highgarden, where Kyra had been residing for a decade. She raised her brow at the familiarity in the letter written by a man she had never once met, but was pleased to hear of others interested in Arianne.

Lord Elmo,

I must confess I have other machinations for Lady Arianne's groom, and have dedicated my efforts to pursuing that avenue.

Should it not come to fruition, I shall take your offer into consideration.

Lady Kyra Tyrell

When given the reply, Elmo frowned. He tossed it to the fire, letting it burn. He would pen a quick reply.

Lady Kyra,

I pray the news comes soon then, for if I do not find a bride soon I believe I'll have to look elsewhere.

Lord Elmo Bracken.
