Yinmaris walked up the apartment stairs rosy cheeked, still slightly very much blushing behind a subtle Disguise Self as to not have the ever-curious Mittens notice something different about him other than his Feywild glowup/recharge. As he gets to the door before the joyful Ronkk returns and uses his classically subtle ways, definitely shouting the... rather pleasant exchange of gifts with Queen Ophelia. His cheeks grow more flush and his body starts to radiate the summer's glow as the memory of it floats across his mind.
He tries to, as quietly as possible, get through the front door before the two more feline occupants realise. Deception wasn't his greatest skill after all and Levkoi seems like he would realise potentially, and Mittens has been growing into his own some more so there was a chance of even him noticing before Ronkk definitely says something out loud. He opens the door and doesn't hear a peep as of yet, Mittens must be out or napping.
This is good, it's a chance to get to my room.
As Yin confidently struts back to his room, as he does he hears the telltale footsteps and the creeking spring from an opening doorhandle coming from Mitten's room. The confident strut turns to a quiet fey step through the slightly left ajar door to his room. He closes his door, trying not to make the door close loudly by turning the handle just enough so there isn't the telltale sound of a doorslam or the doorcatch's clink sound as it connects properly with the strike plate.

Letter to Queen Merla, the Daughter of Summer :
Your Majesty,
I hope this letter reaches you well. I thought it prudent to write this letter as soon as I could as it does involve an adventure/visit to another Court. This all started as my good friend Ronkk, asked me to help with a journey to see a very dear friend of his, a wyrmling called Reginald who was apparently in a court with dragons, was very colourful and had 'big flowers' . Naturally I thought the place he wished to go to was in the Feywild and I thought of the Court of Dragons, a vassal of the Court of Spring. With Ronkk's very unsubtle forms of persuasion we managed to get a classic group of 5 adventurers with Mendal, Beets and Felix joining us. Each of whom I do believe I've mentioned in previous correspondence as I have adventured with each of them in the past.
The teleportation to the Court of Dragons went rather smoothly, admittedly taking in the Feywild sun brought out my summery side which had been damped by previous adventures that had a darker tone. As we walked from the lands of the court to the court proper we were greeted by the sight of quite a colourful selection of dragons and the view of a large court with an even larger tree next to it. One very noticeable member of the court even from a distance was the largest dragon I've ever seen, an pearlescent archwyrm called Thalistrasza also known as the Mother of Dragons. As we got closer to the court we were greeted by the Queen of the Court, Queen Ophelia, who graciously welcomed us to her court. Needless to say I made sure to be on my best behaviour, using my teachings back home with regards to how one should act within another court.
Queen Ophelia informed us that as Ronkk was anxious to see Reginald that in fact Reginald was missing his good friend Ronkk to the point that Queen Ophelia was going to send a letter asking for Ronkk to come to the court. We were led to a point to where Reginald was staying which was among the other wyrmlings. According to Ronkk, Reginald was much larger than he remembered and he was around knee height at this point rather than a small hatchling that Ronkk once knew. As Ronkk and Reginald got reacquainted, I realised that some adventuring snacks I had made were drawing the attention of the wrymlings as they were a fresh all-butter shortbread batch; I was mildly swarmed by them but it was all good fun, only mildy terrifying at the start.
After all that Reginald told us about some fun things to do, including going to see the dragon Wyrmwood who dwelled in a hollow partway up the gigantic tree, this was the choice we picked partially because of Reginald wanting to go. As we headed there we met the Queen again as she was doing her royal duties and we had a quick conversation with her as we did not wish to take up too much of her time. Once we got to the tree we/Ronkk decided to make it a competition to get to the top, I helped Ronkk look better to Reginald as it was clear there was a rather endearing bond between the two. Naturally he won, I personally decided to try climbing the tree without magic which led to Mendal giving me the first compliment he'd ever given as the others chose magic or natural flight including himself. Once we all met at the hollow's entrance I was admittedly out of breath but after a breather and taking in the view we all went in to see Wyrmwood.
The hollow was as large as one would expect for a dragon's home, it was lit rather tastfully with short yet wide crystals and had some fun vibes. We were greeted by Wyrmwood, a dragon that had arboreal features with some of the crystals adorning his body. It turns out Reginald may have exxagerated his previous visits to Wyrmwood as Reginald understandably seemed to stay behind Ronkk out of nervousness and Wyrmwood explained certain previous interactions were more in passing/fleeing but not by Wyrmwood threatening the young one as Thalistrasza watched over all. Now for the most fun part of the whole thing, we were given a quest to go on, it certainly made Reginald even more excited. We were asked to go and retrieve a "missplaced" magical item of his from his hoard in exchange for one item each from his personal hoard. We learned from our young wyrmling once we had left the tree that a young golden dragon called Godfrey had seemed different recently.
After some questions Godfrey admitted that he had taken the item, a golden egg with conjuration magic, and eaten it. So we had to come up with a solution as I will confess that Wyrmwood is intimidating and so was Godfrey. He asked us to go see if we could make another one. We went to Anacostia, a rather industrious dragon who kept an eye on the younger ones in case of situations like tihs one. She said she would help us and we were taken to a volcanic pit to craft the egg with her magics and Mendal's great craftsmanship. It did cost a lot personally with some of my funds and my sheild but it was worth it. the egg was frankly better than the old one according to Wyrmwood so he gave us each one gift, I was given a goblet that can't spill it's contents. And Yes I have tried with water, it does do as described whilee allowing the user to drink from it.
Now Ronkk gained the greatest of gifts with the help of Wyrmwood and the young Reginald. An obsidian dragon sculpture that could channel the wyrmling's essence to allow them to adventure even as Reginald must stay in the court, which is good as he is very very young. As we were saying our goodbyes we met with Queen Ophelia, as she been gracious to allow us such freedom within her court I gave her the gift of a cyclamen which thanks to the Feywild's energy I was able to create permanently with the Court of Harmony and you patronage, I was going to say it was it was a gift freely given as a diplomatic gesture, but before I could she gave a gift in return;
A kiss on the cheek.
It was unexpected but appreciated I do admit, I may have been a bit speechless at the kiss, she then proceeded to change into her draconic form. An ancient dragon who used her draconic breath to transport us back to Daring Heights. Just to make things clear, my loyalty is and shall continue to be to you and the Court of Harmony and it did not seem to have been an act from Queen Ophelia that had ulterior motives. I am letting you know about it due to the rumourmill between Courts can misconstrue intent and action for personal amusement or malice, so I thought it prudent to tell the full truth of the excursion. I also intend to write a letter to Queen Ophelia to thank her for her hospitality.
May your Song be heard throughout the planes, may your days be filled with harmony and joy, and may your evenings be filled with mirth and merriment.
Yours in Service,
Yinmaris Iathrana
P.S. Please find attached a medley of macarons, I hope you find them to your liking. I have made an assortment with flavours mostly around summery vibes, if you find any particular flavours to your enjoyment I will gladly bake up a fresh batch.

Letter to Queen Ophelia:
Your Grace,
I hope this letter finds you in good tidings. I wished to write to you after the very engaging visit to your Court, I would like to thank you for your hospitality and graciousness towards my compariots and I even while busy with courtly duties. It was a pleasure to visit and meet the members of your court, it was a rather spectacular time and I have never seen my good friend Ronkk so happy in the time I have known him and it was rather lovely to see how Reginald seemed with the visit.
I would also like to thank you for your gift and my apologies for not giving my thanks at the time but I was positively rather speechless, which as my companions will corroborate that is a true rarity for me.
With Great Appreciation,
Yinmaris Iathrana
