Dear Miss C,

I admit it's an unconventional avenue, but — desperate times, desperate measures, as I believe they say. Not that a desire for conversation is exactly desperate, but it certainly is something I struggle to find elsewhere, so it was time to get creative.

I am also from a large family, and while I'm not sure I would call them outspoken in general it's true that most of them are quicker to speak than I am. It leads to some situations in which I find it difficult to speak my mind, though I'm sure my family members are entirely unaware of it. I'm sure you're right that it's just as difficult, if not more so, to find true conversation outlets within the confines of society, though I have less experience with this.

Are you interested in politics or magic theory? Either or both?
