I don't know - I'm planning for a big part of Arthur's character arc to be 'learning how to have interpersonal relationships', so I think a long-term pen pal situation is a little out of his depth at the moment. :P Maybe they just know each other in a 'social function' kind of way?

I mean Anne isn't exactly buddy buddy material either. But I get what you're saying. If you need a reason for him to interact with someone though she has spent the past 3 years with some of the most renowned scientists on the other side of the continent. Albeit focusing on different disciplines than he does. Also his family being so highborn means that they'd likely hate her, the Gress' are like the cockroaches of Orewyn's higher class.

[@Sisyphus][@Tackytaff] Well, it's possible that Elian could know either of your characters, given that he's serving the Royal family. A knight and a spy might well work together. And an inventor could be seen in passing.

Depends what he was doing, Anne left three years before, so when he was 16 after being a knight for 6 months (?) and hasn't been back since. I don't know if they'd recognize each-other or anything but maybe.
