"Oh, these are for Shiba. I'm trying to keep him posted with our progress- again, that way if anything goes wrong, he knows what led up to it."
He appeared to think nothing of it.

"Oh...you know...there might have been another. I've never written to the emperor."
Still a little shocked
"Can you stay right here? I mean, move if you want Sora-sama....but please don't and stay right there. I'll go get the first chapters I've written."
She turns and sprints into the camp, dodging around anyone who didn't get out of her way in time
"Move please, please move. Urgent imperial business people, move OUT OF THE WAY."
And in a few moments she's gone.

He'd have to help her with matters of record, it seemed pretty clear, but that was all right.

Not that much later
"Sora-sama! Sora-sama!" Xia zooms back towards his tent, a large leather bag clutched to her chest "I have them here! I can even do some nice illustrations if you think his hi-" And the sprinting Anjing catches a foot on a tent line and goes flying into the mud, which is considerate enough to slide her most the rest of the way.

There's a sucking sound as Sora helps remove her from the mud
"I'm fine! I landed on my body which broke most of the fall."
She's already checking over the bag to make sure its contents are safe, ignoring what looks like a swelling black eye
"I just got so worried that maybe you'd change your mind or it was all a joke or something......um, you didn't change your mind and this wasn't all a joke, right?"

"I don't generally joke about Shiba, and I have no reason to change my mind."
He pointedly ignored her apparent black eye, since he wasn't about to distract her from her purpose at this juncture.
"Do you have time to make multiple copies? I'm sending three copies of my letter, to make sure they get through. I can probably scrounge up some more vellum if you need it, but you should keep a copy for yourself as well- you can refer back to it for things you might have missed, and keep it all together. Or would you rather write an abridged version for this purpose?"

She rolls and stretches her wrist dramatically
"It won't be the first time I've copied the same document multiple times in the hopes it would be read, and it won't be the last."
in a slightly lower voice "But if you could scrounge up that vellum that would help immensely Sora-sama."

He ducked into the tent and rooted around in his personal effects, emerging with a rather mixed handful.
"Pace yourself, Xia. It's not a race."

"Of course not Sora-sama, the work just has to be absolutely perfect, it's going to the emperor afterall."
Producing some ink and a brush the young Anjing starts slowly copying her writing with the most ornate style she can imagine, her face a furious squint of concentration as she chews on her tongue.
