Take Me On An Adventure!

[Hestia Fairchild]

Professor Mr. Darrow,

October 20th, 1887

I must first say... I'm sorry for almost calling you Professor. You two share the same last name, it was hard not to. I just wanted to say, I am a big fan! What is it like to go on adventures and travel? Is it exciting? Dangerous? Do you meet interesting people? Do you get to find new things that excite yourself and others? Is it fun? Of course it's fun, or you wouldn't be doing it. Isn't that the point? To have fun? If not, then I don't know what is. When is your next expedition? Can I come? Where are you headed? I hope it is very exciting!

From,
Miss Hestia Fairchild

Miss Fairchild,

Er, that's alright. Professor Darrow is my uncle.

I'm glad to hear I have a fan, but I'm not sure I can answer your questions. It entirely depends on where you're going--but no matter where you go, there is some degree of danger, especially if you aren't familiar with what you're doing. I had to learn a lot about ships before I was sent out on the Sycorax and we still had bad things happen to us.

Some parts are more fun than others. We'll see if there is another expedition in the future. I'd like there to be one, I think, but in order to have an expedition you need ships and a good deal of money, which I don't have at the moment.

Oh! Would you like me to say hi for you? I'm sure he'd be happy with the greeting!

Well, I hope that it does not discourage you, after all, the fun seems to be in the adventure. What do you do for ships? Have you always liked ships, or is this a recent interest?

I don't have money, but I do have spirit... I think. Can I come? It sounds so fantastic! I want to join in the fun!

From,
Miss Hestia Fairchild

Miss Fairchild,

I've always liked ships, but unfortunately they aren't very good places for young girls.
