Wolf in Sheep's Clothing

Dark One,
Thought I would check in on you. I have heard a great many things about you and the position in which you find yourself as of late. I am certain that you do not expect it to be very flattering information. You aren't that dimwitted. Those in town may march to the beat of Rhaena's drum, but the tavern is a different place.
The company that I keep these days is far from my preference. Too noble for my tastes. They find me useful for the moment, which is a change. Whelp is learning to dance with that fool boy in the mornings. He also teaches her reading and writing, much to my dismay. I enjoyed sending letters on her behalf when she had no idea of the content. It's the little things, you know.
They warn me about you. They vow that you will betray me. That Rhaena will steal the girl and I will be adrift once more. Or worse. I am disappointed to say that I can see the truth of it. Her power is much too tempting for you, pet. I can not say that I don't understand that desire.
Still, I don't have to trust you in order to find you entertaining. One of us will betray the other. Won't it be exciting to see which of us wins?
Yours, X
