[Elfwyn Starrsdottir]

Your Excellency,

I am appalled at you! I should think you'd have more respect one who has shed blood in your honor in Erics and on battlefields than to refer to me as "Danish".

I bear absolutely no resemblance to that vile pastry that afflicts the shelves of bakeries across the Kingdom, snickering to itself in its terrible and flaky manner as well-intentioned souls purchase them by the bagful, never realizing the dreadful doughy doom they are helping to disseminate! Such slander does not become one of your station!

Furthermore, I am gravely insulted that you should forget that my Norse blood comes from Swedish ancestry. 'Tis only certain silly Saxons who think me a Dane, as they foolishly call all those who've come a-viking in their lands. 

To confuse two such is an insult! How if I should respond in kind, and say that you yourself are English?

No that is not a typo, she was 27, twenty-seven, hours late to >an event.
