[ It was self defense. He'll say it again and again. Lynette was a capable, beautiful woman with skills that any worker in their little home could home to achieve. Working in the shadows, Lynette couldn't be matched... which is why they wanted to shine line to her. When they do, they corner her. Enemies to the House, fat rich cats from Sumeru moved into the city of Fontaine, with cabins sprinkled in the countryside.
It took Lyney two days to find her, stowed away in the mountains and it took two minutes for the cabin to burn to the ground and leave an enemy of the Fatui crawling out with his face melting off. Someone who wronged Father and the kindness she showed... they survive, but barely.
Months pass and soon, Lyney stands trial in an arson and attempted murder.
The trial was long, arduous and with the right evidence – he is cleared of one charge, but not the other. The arson had ruined a quarter mile of sacred forest, legally protected and thus...
Six months, minimum.
That is what was deemed appropriate.
The clang of metal pipes and smell of saltwater brings him back to the Fortress. Back to the Duke's graces. It takes a long time to get Lyney to talk, but when he does... he doesn't shut up. ]
Here. Two stacks this week.
[ Of envelopes, letters sent to his siblings. 14 for Lynette, 6 for Freminet. One for Father. ]
You're sure they're not going to be slow in delivery?
