[ Friend seek comfort in touch, and Xenk is no different. For all his eccentricities, he enjoys the warmth of another. Perhaps it is his undying nature that draws him so to another's warmth. Or perhaps 100+ years of traveling the land has made him more cognizant and appreciative of what physical touch he can claim. ]
Of course. It is an honor to be found worthy of his blessing. My Oath is the holy fire on which my magic is forged. I wear my devotion proudly. It rallies to others the clear proof of my intent.
[ Xenk, after all, finds nothing strange about his Oath. They are as common to him as the rising of the sun and the breeze on the wind. And tells everyone around him that he's a stick in the mud, basically!! I mean, sure, it can feel like a leash at times but those times are so rare, Xenk wouldn't want to bother Fenris with them. ]
I apologize, I find at times that I can be quite verbose when explaining topics of which I am particularly knowledgeable of. I did not intend for our discussion to stray from the matter at hand.
[ That is, the topic of his letter, and the writing besides.... ]
My letter, and the invitation therein. I am honored to have your assistance, and, if it would not be too bold, would--
[ He squeezes Fenris' hand gently. He doesn't need to be so proper with Fenris, at least not all the time, does he? They're friends. ]
Would you like me to help you, with learning to read and write? I would not presume over your wants or needs, but I find the practice of writing letters to be quite enjoyable.
