I have remembered our discussion about the afterlife, and you being resigned to a less than enviable fate after death doesn't sit well with me. This book explores various afterlives where sins are not the sole factor determinating your destination. It is important you understand your soul has great value, and that you do not accept death as a bad end. At the very least, I shall not stand for it.

[In response, a book is deliviered to Ereshkigal.]
Hey Ereshkigal,
What a name. Can I call you Eresh or something? Anyway, thank you for the book and your sentiment, it's really sweet. I'm not super bothered by the idea of where my soul ends up- with any luck, it's a long way off anyway, given that elves lives for centuries and I'm still only in my 40's or so. But with the life I lead, sometimes it feels like it's a much shorter matter of time. I get myself into a lot of perilous situations, so it's nice to know that some gods will treat my filthy sinner soul with more mercy, including you, if you have any say in it.
Speaking of filthy sinners, uh, I don't read a lot and I don't know you well so I wasn't sure what kind of book to get you in return. I got you my friend Northly's book, which is romance/smut, but it's pretty good. I'm writing one of my own like it too. She works at a sex shop and she's really cool, I recommend meeting her if you haven't yet.
Anyway. We should meet for real soon. Happy holidays or whatever

Dear Eli,
I have remembered our discussion about the afterlife, and you being resigned to a less than enviable fate after death doesn't sit well with me. This book explores various afterlives where sins are not the sole factor determinating your destination. It is important you understand your soul has great value, and that you do not accept death as a bad end. At the very least, I shall not stand for it.
Merry Christmas!
