It fills this errant one's heart with respect, and perhaps some small measure of pride, to find the people of Wessex hale and healthy after so many years and trials. Greetings to those Wessexians I have known and who I have fought alongside battle with.
Greetings to my Lord. I believe that I, having no outstanding debts nor unsatisfied terms of vassalage, may come to you in friendship and familiarity. If so allowed, I would approach and and lay my cheek, against swordedge, ring, or lap, whichever my King deems appropriate and deserving of one as recalcitrant and vain as I.
