It is good to see you again, <class>. I trust that you and young Dornaa had a wonderful time together?

Completion

It is good for the soul to know that there are heroes such as yourself that are willing to give of their time so selflessly.

I can tell already that your time together with Dornaa has made a huge impression. It's good for the children to have a chance to get out and see the world.

Here, she told me that she wanted you to take care of one of her favorite pets, just like you took care of her. Something to remember her by.

Don't be a stranger.

I'm sure that you're taking good care of my pet. Please tell him that I miss him!

Sincerely,

Salandria
