Dear Kithyn.
I have just arrived back from the Other World. Just a quick trip to collect my Visitor, and guide him over to the site of the New Bridge. It is already quite an impressive sight, with the two towers springing up from the water on either side of the straights.
You asked about my Visitor. You are just as curious as ever, I see!
Well, Kevin is really very nice, in a quiet sort of way, although I think there is a deep hurt somewhere inside him. To look at, he is of ordinary height, and a bit skinny. I do not think he eats enough. Does that sound like I want to mother him? He has such gentle blue eyes, and dark hair cut just a little bit too short. At least he’s not losing his hair. He dresses a bit badly, too. His clothes seem slightly too big for him, and always in black and white. So dull!
Good to hear about Amiss’s promotion. He must be very senior by now – does he have a seat on the Outer Board already?
More news later.
Your old friend Tanji.
