Thank you for the warm welcome. I accept your alliance, with the usual terms: we agree not to raid, steal, or challenge for the others' mares, to aid the other in battle if called upon, and to keep our borders friendly and open to members of the others' herd.
I regret to tell you that we in the Hills are a small few, consisting mainly of myself, my modest family, and our soon-to-be children. I give my daughters their own choices as to where they go in life, but should one need a little assistance, I shall not hesitate to recommend the Desert to them. Likewise, if any of your family needs somewhere to stay - daughters or otherwise - they are welcome in the Hills for as long as they need.
I shall make a visit to the Desert sometime soon. I look forward to seeing you then.
Regards,
