"Very well," Asina replied. "Just remember to get enough sleep. It'll be a long day tomorrow."
"We will," Andi said. "Leave everything to us." she turned to Terka. "Go scout around and make sure there's no one suspicious."

Terka bowed to Andi. "Understood." She walked away.
Grega turned to Andi, staring for a second, then grinned.

"Grega, you can stand guard at the entrance to the dock," Andi said.

Asina walked back to the inn thinking of her daughter Kaori. She did her best to hide it in front of them, but Grega's question had brought back the wounds from her past like a torrent. As she approached the inn she noticed a young girl standing outside watching the sun start to set over the ocean. As Asina got closer, the girl turned and smiled at her.
"The sun setting over the ocean like that is beautiful isn't it?," The girl said.
"I suppose," Asina replied. "I don't really notice stuff like that."
"Ah, that's too bad..." the girl said. "You're Asina Razra, right?"
Taken back a bit by being recognized by this strange girl Asina replied, "And you are?"
"My name's Juria. Juria Lucan. I'm a letter carrier," she replied. "I have an important letter for you." Juria handed Asina a letter addressed with only her name. Asina was a bit puzzled that she would get a letter while on a trip like this.
"How did you know I was here?" she asked. "And why deliver a letter to me now when I'll be home in a few days."
Juria turned to watch the sunset again. "Some letters contain feelings too important to wait," Juria replied.
Still puzzled, Asina opened the letter. She recognized the handwriting immediately. "Kaori..." she said as tears began to flow. The letter was from her long lost daughter. She was alright. "Thank goodness," Asina said as tears of happiness continued to flow.
"If you'll excuse me." Juria said and she turned to walk away.
"Wait!" Asina called out as she wiped the tears from her eyes. "Thank you."
"Of course," Juria replied with a smile. "It's my job to deliver those important feelings letters contain." Juria turned and walked away toward the docks.
Andi and Terka passed her on their way back to the inn. They saw Asina standing there with the letter in her hand watching the sun set.
"Asina?" Andi said.
Asina was a bit startled and turned quickly. "Oh it's you," she said. "Sorry I was just watching the sunset."
"Sorry for bothering you but we've finished checking out the docks," Andi replied.

"Grega is still standing guard by the shipment." Terka added. She sensed how much more emotional Asina had become since a few minutes ago. "Pardon me if I'm too out-of-line, but... is there something troubling you?"

"No nothing's troubling me," asina replied. "I just got a letter from my daughter. After all this time she returned to the village safe."
"Wow that's great news," Andi said.

"All the more reason we need to get you safely back." Terka said.

"Yes, leave it to us," Andi said.
"Thank you." Asina replied.
