[Shortly after Terezi posts her announcement to the bulletin board, a letter is deposited in her mailbox - the paper is folded on itself twice and sealed with a blot of wax that bears no mark or stamp, and the writing is careful and precise, if somewhat spidery. Murai delivers the letter herself, but she doesn't hang around after placing it in the mailbox.]
To the Honored Terezi Pyrope, greetings.
Your recent attempt to impress a code of law upon our community has caught my attention. I believe your intentions are laudable and your enthusiasm admirable. We do, indeed, need to establish what behaviors are acceptable before problems arise. Your methods, however, are somewhat clumsy and likely to gain you more enemies than allies.
If you would have my council, I would be glad to give it. Perhaps we might meet in person to discuss matters?
If you do not wish to speak with me, I fully understand, but must ask that you know that if I cannot rely on your cooperation and it comes to it that I must exercise my own best judgement, neither can you rely on mine.
I hope that we may work together, for the good of the community. May justice and peace walk with you, by Heaven's will.
[About half a day later, a response is placed in Murai's mailbox and the little red flag is flipped up in salute.]
