The young Keen clutched the missive tightly in her small hand as she hurried to her mother, her voice trembling with excitement despite the rasp in her breath “Mother! Miss Lecelina is hosting an event! Please, can we go? Please, please, please!” @Verellia

Penelope of Haverlock sat by the dimly lit Fireplace, the crackling flames casting long shadows across the stone walls of her Bedroom. The castle was eerily quiet now, save for the soft, rhythmic thrum of her heartbeat in her ears. She heard the news, whispered by trembling servants and carried on the lips of the soldiers returning from the battle. Penelope pressed her hand against her chest, feeling the ache of the news deepen with every passing moment. Her mind refused to fully accept it. It could not be true. How could it? How could the man who had raised her, who had been the rock of her world, the one who had taught her how to ride, how to speak with conviction, how to face life with courage how could he be gone? The tears came slowly at first, a trickle down her cheek, she had known sorrow in her life, but nothing could have prepared her for the agony of this moment.

Helena Mecuria raised a brow at the missive, rushing to her mother to give it to her "Look! What comes around, goes around" she smiled, going to finish packing her bags. @annanicole__

As the servant’s words reached her, Princess Adeline’s heart raced, a mix of disbelief and dread flooding her senses. Andromeda, her dearest friend and sister-in-law, had returned to Ba’as but in a way that neither of them had ever imagined. Adeline barely registered the path she took as she rushed to Andromeda, her mind clouded with memories of their shared struggles, of the day they had both left their husbands behind to forge a different path. She knelt by her side, reaching out with shaking hands to touch her friend’s cold fingers. A sob escaped her as she took in the sight of Andromeda, whose strength had been so fierce, now reduced to this silent stillness. The setting sun outside bathed the room in hues of gold and crimson, the same colors that had marked Andromeda’s final moments. “You were always enough, Andromeda,” Adeline whispered, her voice breaking as she pressed her forehead against Andromeda’s still hand.

Ottavia of Stassion sat and read the missive from her long term vacation with an old Friends Family, a smirk creeping onto her face "Well...How the tables have turned"

Young Penelope of Blackworth stood closely at her fathers side, clutching her stuffed goat close to her chest as she watched him closely. A new baby she thought, much like her own younger brother, A smile creased her lips as she rushed off prepared to prepare a gift for the new family.

I personally don't think the ferrymen are bad, I have never had a bad experience with them and they always have acted in a mature manner with me and in most cases been fair and kinda goofy. Everyone has their own experiences tho ig.
