S: Seeking Out

May, a long time ago

Dear Number 2,

I read with interest the proclamation by your Queen, of your interest in meeting other people. She described you as average height, pleasant to look at, and clever, with many ideas about what one should look for in a friend. That intrigued me. 

That seems quite atypical of Queens in general. My research shows that they only look out for the best women for a specific Prince of theirs. That is if they have any more than one son. I was taken to understand that you were not the favored son. 

I find myself in a somewhat similar situation as the second of three.

I would like to meet you, for you sound like an interesting person. I would like to discuss some of your ideas.

                   With interest,

                            You can call me Middle one.

A little later in May, a long time ago

Dear Number 2,

I so enjoyed meeting you. The tour you gave me of your royal garden was fascinating. I can’t believe your royal gardener has planted so many non-native plants in the royal garden. Your point of view on what should be grown there matches my own. 

I’m sorry to hear that you have no given name. Though I do have a given name, Luna, no one in my family uses it. Maybe the next time we meet, we can compare some of our Prince and Princess research, and come up with a name for you. What do you think of the name Samson?

Till we meet again.

                      Your friend,

                                Luna
