[It takes a while for Ferdinand to even find Ashe's physical address. His online inbox? Easy. But this? Well, it's worth it. Such things must be properly done! But once he does Ashe will find a letter in his mailbox, with a simple red seal- no crest or country indicated in the wax, since Ferdinand is lacking such a thing here. The paper inside is almost heavy due to its high quality, and the words are clearly handwritten with a quill and ink.]
My Dear Friend, Ashe
I apologize it has taken me this long to send this. But I do hope that the wait has only given me time to choose my words all the more carefully. I must thank you again for all the care you showed me when last we spoke in person, at the garden. Your kindness helped me overcome such a strange new experience with grace, and left a pleasant memory in my heart. I wish we had allotted more time to explore the gardens together, but even so, I hope the experience was just as fond for you as it was for me.
If it is not too bold of me to ask, I would very much like to plan a similar outing with you in the future? If you find it agreeable please feel free to contact me at your leisure. As charming as a letter would be, please do not feel obligated to respond in kind- these devices the gems offer us are so useful after all!
[Ferdinand what the HELL. Ashe has to take like 20 minutes to get over how endearing this letter is before he even thinks to respond!!
But he does! And he writes in return. Although Ashe's handwriting is not nearly as lovely, but it is easy to read which is where it counts at least. He certainly tries his hardest to make sure it's legible and neat, so writing the letter took some agonizingly long time, but he manages.
Inside is a pressed flavor, a violet.]
Dear Ferdinand,
I received your letter and was moved. I'm glad I could make your experience arriving here all the more bearable and I'd be happy to help further in the future. The gardens were quite lovely and I would be extremely flattered to meet with you again.
I have an open schedule save for evenings, but I can work out a time to clear if need be.
I know you said I didn't have to write in return as you did, but I felt it would be in poor taste if I wasn't willing to show the same enthusiasm in kind.
hey ashe, want some snail mail?

When he responds it is by text- as nice as the letters are, text seems much easier for actual planning!]
I was thinking... perhaps sharing a meal might be nice? I will admit I do not know the eatery scene here yet, but I am willing to do some research?
Also, the violet was lovely. I wonder if I could find a place to set it in resin? Maybe I should ask Hilda.

I'm glad you liked it. Violets are my favorite and I'm pretty proud of their bloom so far.
