Palosenya has shown greater resilience than I anticipated. Perhaps it was arrogant of me to think I knew what was best for her. It was her autonomy that led her to Morrowind and the Temple, and I erred in not respecting that when I made the decision for her.

You shouldn't have given her the letter. That was my choice to make.

It was a breach of trust to take that letter from me without my permission. And I recognize how that sounds, but I stand by my reasoning.

You made the right decision to return the letter. I'll give it to her in time. Once she's ready.

Please reconsider giving her the letter. It's too soon.

I'm uncomfortable sharing it with anyone further, but perhaps you should read it and make your decision.

Thank you. Remember, the shadows form us. A mushroom grows best in the dark. Please take this as a show of thanks for your discretion.

You've made the right choice by giving it back.

I still believe she needs more time. I can't stop you, but whatever you do, don't let her think I withheld it out of malice.

Please leave this be for now.

Have you made a decision yet?

I assume you've read the note. You can see why I didn't want to give it to Palosenya. The mycelium of her faith is still growing. A harsh light shining from the west could scorch her before her faith has time to sprout. Don't give her the letter, please.

Did you go through my belongings? Well, I assume you've read the note. You can see why I didn't want to give it to Palosenya. The mycelium of her faith is still growing. A harsh light shining from the west could scorch her before her faith has time to sprout. Don't give her the letter, please.

I would still prefer to wait longer before giving Palosenya the letter, but perhaps I'm at risk of not recognizing a mistake for what it is. Here's a key to my chest downstairs. The letter's inside. You can judge for yourself.

No, I think it would be a mistake to give it to her right now. Her faith needs more time to take root.

Did you retrieve the letter from my chest?

What? How did you hear about that? I would never "steal" a letter. But in this case, it was only right to withhold it. For the time being, at least. The letter was nothing but a vicious attack on Palosenya and her newfound faith. Giving it to her would only cause her grief.

I've forgiven Furen for holding on to the letter. It was misguided, but he meant well. And besides, why dwell on what's behind me when I could focus on the path ahead of me?

Thank you for bringing me the letter. I understand why Furen felt like he wouldn't want me to read it. But if anything, it's reaffirmed my decision to leave.

I don't think Furen would withhold something like that from me.

Oh...I see. Yes, that's my brother's hand, and certainly my brother's words. Thank you for giving me this. Do you know why I pass through here so often? When I first came to Othmura, I heard Furen read from the Gospel of Saint Veloth. Back in Summerset, he's an outcast. A source of shame. But here, there's no shame in his choice. They understand that he had to seek his own path. Morrowind isn't always welcoming, but even if I don't always feel a sense of kinship, I at least feel a glimmer of recognition.

A letter? Do you have it with you?

I'm glad to hear that Furen returned the letter to Palosenya. Thank you. That brings me peace.

Palosenya received the letter? Thank you. That brings me some peace.

Furen's kept the letter? Well, then, I suppose he really must have a very good reason to do so. At least this doesn't have to weigh on my conscience anymore.

Have you decided what to do yet? If you do end up asking Furen for the letter, don't let him know I told you about it.

Oh, I hope you reconsider. This has been weighing heavily on me, and I don't know what to do.

Thank you. A faithful heart carries answers, but my guilty heart doesn't know what to do.

A few days ago, a letter arrived addressed to Palosenya, a traveling merchant who passes through here often. Furen Hlavel, the head priest, agreed to safeguard the letter. The letter wasn't sealed, and I noticed that Furen read it and seemed upset. He put it in his chest, and to my knowledge, he still hasn't given the letter to Palosenya. I don't know what the letter says, but I think Furen may be wrong to withhold it. However, I don't want to betray Furen's trust by telling her. Will you help me?

Ah, forget it. I can't trust a stranger with such a sensitive matter.
