Re: Monthly Soul Report

Good evening, Astarion. May I call you Astarion? It's such a unique name, the way it rolls off the tongue.

I'm afraid I am the bearer of some mixed news. You see, Theodore, that charming devil, has been reassigned from your case. I understand this is probably disappointing. The two of you had been making such progress. But not to worry. I will be taking over for him.

My name is Octaevien. And I do look forward to working with you, Astarion.

Now, to assist you in proper reporting, I have compiled a list of your more interesting activities. If you could just confirm. Oh, and do let me know if I've missed anything, unlikely as that is.

You provided some truly touching Val-O-Grams to your friends, and received a few yourself.
You attended the speed dating event, making yourself some new friends. Aren't you the popular one.
Other than some aerial adventures, you othwerwise spent a relatively quiet month in Requiem.

Have I gotten everything right, handsome?

Yours,
Octaevien

Re: Monthly Soul Report

Charming Theodore,

I do hope you'll forgive the triteness of the little devil man on the wrappers, but when I saw the chocolates I thought of you. Likewise, roses are far from the most unique gift, but having so recently been forced to start over -- yet again -- I am possessed of somewhat limited means.

Do let me know if there's anything else I can do for you. I'm eager to please.

Astarion
