"He kept the same routine: Awaken in the late morning, rise and eat a simple breakfast, return to his bed or study or library and read for hours, occasionally eat something sparse for dinner, spend some time staring at the hearth, go back to bed and sleep. Throughout the whole thing, his eyes remained dull, as if any light within him had been dimmed like an oil lamp. Every day, Tara had encouraged him to go out or speak to another person, to no avail.

Tara had sniffed the letter, which smelled of bergamot, rosemary, and faintly of brandy. Undoing the wax seal revealed a letter written in loopy handwriting."Gale is struggling. Tara reads a letter. A visitor comes to Waterdeep.
