Missing: Alicia Dura

I hate to say it, Verrill, but I think Sindarion and Gin Yuki are correct. I myself had spent the past 3 weeks looking for her, and despite not finding her, I found no evidence to suggest she was in any sort of danger. Remember, she had gone through a lot the month before she "went missing." She got pulled into the Abyss, for Valos' sake. I talked with Zellara about this and Alicia may just need some time alone. Besides, she isn't a little girl that needs someone to look after her. Alicia is capable of handling herself.

And there better not be anything in your godsforsaken basement.

I appreciate the opinions presented, and I have consulted Mr. Cooper but I am awaiting reply. I hope to work very closely with the guard, if I am not given authority at my station to carry out the investigation with any baronial authority.

I even appreciated Orias' touching attempt to bring levity to this distressing situation.

I am fully aware that Ms. Dura's is very much capable of handling herself. I am fully aware that [strike]citizens[/strike] subjects may take their leave of Travance for months at a time. This changes nothing.

If I may, Verrill...

Alicia is much capable of handling herself than others give her credit for. She is a respectable healer and a strong willed individual. I can certainly attest to that. For months I tried to forsake our friendship. I've pushed her away, broke her heart, and even betrayed her expectations. Terrible, terrible things.

But not once did she give up on me. She has shown me a kindness that I will never forgot, a kindness I feel I don't deserve. She has proven that she can be strong in the toughest of situations. I will never be able to atone for the way I have treated her, but Alicia has shown a strength that few possess. A power to forgive.

Just as she put her faith in me, I will put my faith in her. I suggest you to do the same.

Albert, no doubt Alicia is a respectable healer and strong of character but alas Verrill is only looking out for one he cares about and unless you have useful information into his endeavor I suggest slighting him should be kept to a more private form of communication.

I couldn't have put it better Wyen.

And Albert, I will be contacting you soon.
