[Writing a letter to @GynophobicSword.]
By the time you receive this letter, I may or may not be fired. You were always good to me Lon'qu. I hope you do not mind that I keep you as a reference for future endeavors.
Thank you. Goodbye.
[LIFTS PIGEON and watches it peck at food]
@ZoyPopov [A small smile. After all this time, some things had not changed.]
Then I'll wait for you again.
[He leans down, giving her an easier target.]
@TippedTheScaIes His grip was tighter than what it should be, and his palm was somewhat sweaty.
Still, for her sake, he shook her hand.]
. . . Vulnerability is not weakness. It is a chance to become stronger.
@TippedTheScaIes Everyone else either helped me do so or was in the way. Strangers under the same command, as you say.
However. . . I doubt that I would be willing to do this for a mere stranger.
[Quickly, before he could change his mind, he reached out to grab the tactician's hand. -
@TippedTheScaIes I don't think this change is necessarily bad. To grow and change. . . To be more than who you were yesterday. Is that not something to strive for? Previously, I could not speak to you from less than ten paces away. I think I'm better off now that I can.
@TippedTheScaIes They're vexing. I thought I'd shunned them long ago, yet despite my best efforts, they resurfaced.
Perhaps you were free from these feelings due to your lack of memories. However. . . You have new ones, don't you?
@TippedTheScaIes Err. . . I'll be sure to keep that in mind.
[All he understood was talk to Miriel.]
How about we get back to the point at hand, though? I doubt you'll enjoy the time off with this worrying you.
