Sodden note

Dear Vessy,

We couldn't afford to pay for ourselves and Patrick, so we've sent the young lad to you. I know things're tough your way, too, that you've three tykes of your own - so know that if I didn't have to, I'd not ask this of you. But here in Velen... well, you wouldn't believe it if I told you.

Please care for Patrick like your own son. We'll come back for him soon as the war's over. A thousand thanks.

Hanna

P.S. Patrick's got a sack of coin in his bags - enough to pay his guide what we agreed on. You shouldn't have to add anything of your own.

P.P.S. Patrick's afraid of the dark. If you can, leave a candle burning by his bed.
