Hello Vera,

Been a long time, hasn't it? Still feeling a bit hot after leaving you in that desert? I hope you got a great tan.
I'll get right to the point, as I'm sure you're probably angry and panicking right now: My boys found these two creatures in my back garden. They were flying about for an hour or so prior, so I decided to see if one of them would want a sandwich after being up there for so long. I bet you can guess which one took the bait and which one made noise in frustration.
I can only assume they belong to you. One of them denies knowing you, probably to protect your skin. The other sang like a love struck canary, not only telling me he knew who you were, but was very willing to give me information on the weaknesses of his female comrade. Quite the crew you've got going here.
If they're unclaimed, I'm going to keep them in the dungeon for myself. Perhaps after days, maybe even weeks of intensive torture, they'll become so broken they'll beg to work for me.
If you want them back, you bring yourself to my abode. Alone. I'm not an idiot, I know the kind of clever girl you are. Come alone, with that sapphire. You know the one I'm talking about. It'll be a good enough exchange.
Although the longer I have the female one, the more expensive this might be. She certainly has the better reactions.

The decision is yours.

Lots of love,
Maypop

This is a loooong (months) overdue picture for  idiotxd This went through about 3 different ideas, before we settled on this one.
There will be a 'continuation' of sorts to this, but it won't be drawn by myself. Another individual is being commissioned to determine what'll happen to Vera, so stay tuned for that.

Enjoy!
