[It's quite a few days later that Perona and her entourage reach Cherrygrove. She's already tired and dirty and in desperate need of a bed, a bath, and a well deserved shopping trip, but being called over by the staff takes priority. And color her surprised - and ecstatic - when she receives the gift (with a bit of help from the staff, this technology is weird). Immediately, she coddles the egg and writes up a response. Hopefully her new friend gets it sooner than she did his gift.]

Dear John,

It took me some time, but I've reached this town now and I got your gift! Thank you very much, and I'll be sure to take very good care of it until it hatches! You're a very kind person, and I do wish I could do more for you than just a simple thank you. Sadly, that will have to suffice for now, until I can meet you face to face, or when I have more to give.

But you should be happy to know all your advice paid off, and already Bearsy-kun is growing stronger! I've also managed to capture another little animal - a small, brown bird with piercing eyes...like a hawk. I named him appropriately after someone I know. ♥

Again, thank you for the little cutie. I can't wait to have a little candle ghost for my own, I've been missing my hollow so very much lately!

Please, take care,
♥♥♥ Perona
