Merlin, you never cease to amaze me. Now a challenge for you - try to make it work for replies.

I'm doing well, currently I'm in a small village at the outskirts of the kingdom. I know not the name of the creature I slew here, but it is one creature less to bother the good people of Camelot.

How fair things in the city? How are you, Arthur, Guinevere? I look forward to hearing from you again.

-- Lancelot.
