minque, I remember that one!
I love Trey’s tone throughout his story, and the surprise laughs that come in the middle of dramatic moments.
Here’s one from early in mALX’s
A New Sun Rises. Thanks to ThatSkyrimGuy for bringing it back to mind!
Some of Maxical’s letters home from the Arcane University:

Dear Alix and S’Jirra -
First off, I am not writing because I have gotten into trouble. Other than the watermelon incident in which no one could prove was me because - well never mind. Irlav Jarol just always blames everything that happens on me.
For your own peace of mind, it may be best if you just tear up any letters from the school that aren’t from me.
Love, M.

Dear Alix and S’Jirra -
You may be receiving a letter from Arch Mage Traven and possibly the Imperial Legion, but you can ignore them now. I was in trouble, but Fathis Aren fixed everything. He paid off the guard with a large check and made a huge donation to the Arcane University.
We were just borrowing the horse, not stealing it. The horse wasn’t hurt, and the guard said he will press no charges since Fathis paid him so well.
I had to clean up the manure in Arch Mage Traven’s bedroom, so I‘ve already been punished. Oh, and Fathis replaced the Arch Mage's blanket with one much nicer, since the horse chewed up the old one.
Fathis was not mad at all, he did that thing with his lips that you do Alix, when you don’t want someone to know you are smiling. Alix, it was just an experiment, not a prank, I promise.
Arch Mage Traven said he has begun praying to Akatosh for me to graduate. He said I have high spirits. He never stays mad long if everyone would just stop bringing things to his attention.
Love, M
