This week on Friends at the Table: Warm Assurances
Mr. Cider-Brew,
Please find attached the letter of receipt (as requested by sender). I have also listed the address from which you may collect the sender's belongings, also as requested.
However, and I write with no haste, I am afraid that the church will not be needing your services in the future, nor will our parishioners.
Promises are made to be broken, sir. But seals are not.
-Ex. A.

| 0:41.3 | The sound of ordainen anchors stomping hundreds of them, living metal soldiers, |
| 0:49.1 | marching towards Twin Brook. |
| 0:51.8 | It's already echoing for miles through the dry woods that separate here from there. |
| 0:57.0 | Panther does offer you specifics though. They are a day from Twinkboo and another two days from there to |
