Dear Retili,

Thank you again for another year of service. With Amanda having said her permanent goodbyes, you are now the most senior advisor in my employ. It's why I all the more appreciate your continued aid.

The barony has grown yet again this year. I'll need more solid structures of power and influence soon, perhaps. Another point I'd love your advise on. Many things end up not going the way they are planned, but I feel like enough of it does turn out well for things to keep progressing. Slowly, yet steadily, we're really making something great, aren't we?

Also, I'll set aside a budget for your man. I'm sure buying them all a few rounds is enough to make them feel appreciated as well. I'll leave it to you when to time it so that they aren't useless and wasted at an inopportune moment.

Before I forget, there was something I wondered about. Your homeland was said to be rather difficult to live in, wasn't it? It's perhaps a rather... 'hefty' plan, but I figured I'd propose it regardless. What if we try see if we can bring your species into the barony? I'm sure we'd find them a suitable living place, better than their own. With you and your men all aiding so much, I'm sure they'd be accepted into the barony as well.

Either way, it's just a suggestion.

Thanks again and do feel free to come for a more casual cup of tea sometimes as well,

Regula

Hey,

So, sorry about what I showed you. You know, during the whole mind-reading thing. I didn't want to think about her at the time, but that only made me thing about her and about what I saw.

How've you been? Did you do anything fun after those sky islands? Okay. I'm not going to pretend we're besties. I just Let's keep it simple. Your powers are still interesting to me. If you want to explore them further, I'd still be down.

I also wanted a more neutral opinion on something. Do you think it's ever legitimate to ask friends to go on a mission with you that is likely to get them killed?

By the way, I will admit to one thing. That black dress on your purple skin is a great colour combination. I'm not one to be nice, but I feel like I can say that and be honest.

Anyhow, I'll maybe see you again.

Hey,

Seeing how you had the whole 'wise owl' vibe down during the time I knew you, perhaps you might help me figure out a dilemma. Basically, I'm told that, to figure out the answer to an investigation I've dedicated the past years of my life towards, I need to go to the first continent.

You know, the place filled with so many monsters that going there is suicidal? It sucks. So, what do you think? Should I just give up? I've been so stuck. I don't want to give up, yet going alone will surely get me killed. Then going with others might get them killed as well. That'd never be justified, right? Or would it?

Like, if they offer to come along, would it be fair? Or would it still be on me? I feel like I'm responsible for some folk dying already and I absolutely hate it. That'd only get worse. Yet to just give up one of my life's main goals...

What do you think I should do? You're a bit more neutral, I hope. If you can help me figure this out, I can investigate dirt on anyone you want or solve any other mystery you have. I'm even helping that fairy get her thing sorted.

Anyhow, sorry if I'm asking the impossible, thanks if you're willing to try answer me regardless,

Victorique

Hello Oatmeal!

This might seem a bit sudden aha, but I hope this letter finds you in good health, wherever you may be right now. I wanted to talk to you again in person, but I cannot seem to find any trace left of you in this world. So I can only hope and assume that you had been summoned somewhere else fun and exciting. Or perhaps you managed to find a way back to your own world even!

Either way, I hope you're having fun.

Although things started off a little rocky between us, or well, us three, I don't regret meeting you at all. Rather, I had so much fun with you. Strategizing and playing that impromptu card game with those alementals on vacation was so exciting, and I did really look forward to exploring and sharing our brains on transformation magic. Whenever I see a snake or snakekin I can't help but think of your little Snekzoah form too ^^

Also, maybe you could've taught me how to better um... progress my relationship with Deli too. If you were willing to advise in that area. I don't know. Um, you can pretend I didn't write that. But I'm not removing it.

I feel like we could've been really close gal pals, but maybe it just wasn't meant to be. In another life perhaps ^-^

I hope this world wasn't too unkind to you after we departed. Wherever you are now, I hope you're doing well.

I won't lie, I haven't had a girl friend like you in a long time. I miss you ^^

With love,
Ninelle

Dear Desmond,

Long time no see, little raptor. I trust you are not suffering from any lingering side effects of the Night Eye? That shaman did seem a little sketchy, but I am purely glad you came out in one peace after all that. Our foray into those ratkin caverns was quite unforgettable, that's for sure.

I have to admit, everything that happened that day still haunts me. And I have seen my fair share of atrocities in my many years of existence. I don't think I ever quite realized the scars it left on me until recently, when I would lash out and become someone I shouldn't be. But I am very glad that out of us four, it was you that missed the horrific specifics of what happened in the alleyway that day.

My apologies for the sombre tone of this letter, I know you are a sweet child that doesn't need to hear this really. But I felt I should talk to someone from that time in order to better come to terms with it. I'm sorry for leaving this burden on you. Don't let this affect you too much, just think of it as an old lady's senseless ramblings.

But I hope you are doing well out wherever your travels have taken you. Hopefully we can share fries again one day, on an adventure far more enjoyable. Be well.

Kind regards,
Oden Aritomo

Hey Elvyra, it's me Raia, one of the chicks you met at the casino. Yeah that sea serpent lookin' gal. That's me.

I don't know why I'm sending this. Just felt like there's been some festive holiday spirit going around these parts and felt I should do somethin' wholesome for once. Brings back memories of being dragged in to such occasions when I was younger.

Anyway, once an uh, 'activity' buddy always an 'activity' buddy right? Thanks for being a good spirit in organising shit back then, had quite the ragtag bunch of misfits there, that's for sure. Been pondering how those other three weirdos are doing too.

Wonder how you're spending your hard earned earnings out there. Don't spend it all in one place, as they say. If you haven't already lol.

Have a good one. Peace. Raia.

Canon Status: Sent IC, written pretty standardly and cleanly on a long bit of white paper.

Hello. Kota. I remembered your name.

I somehow figured out through the... 'magic' of this world that I could talk to people. Mentally. Through the mind. Somehow.

I'm having someone help me write you this as we speak actually.

There were a lot of things I wished to say at our time of meeting. So I will mention some of them now.

When I first saw you, I thought you were a big sheep.

It was only after we were all out of the water that I figured out you were indeed, not a sheep. But a foxman. In my head I called you that a lot.

I know the lambs have thanked you already. But I felt I should thank you also. You were quite the inspiration back there on the battlefield. I can't say I really knew what I was doing back then. So it was great that I could just follow your lead. Thanks.

Oh. Also. How did you touch me that one time? I haven't had it happen again since. And I would like to touch things also. Those lambs look so fluffy.

Also, more pressingly, I fell asleep. And when I fall asleep, I seem to be untethered and float through space for hours unconsciously. And so, I lost the lambs.

Do you know where they went? Or remember the name of their home? I seem to have forgotten.

They called me their guardian spirit so much. I feel like I have to take care of them. Maybe it's why I was sent here in the first place.

Okay. Anyway. Thanks. Reply soon if you are able. Or don't. Bye.

[To Almeida and, of course, Valerius,

Hello! I hope this letter finds you both well and with many victories against the moles. Do they put up a good fight? I do not doubt your skills for even a second. If anyone can conquer the menace of underground beasts, it is surely the mighty duo of Almeida and Valerius!

I am happy very to hear from you! I only starting learning Terran for real now, since I am meeting more people, so I hope this letter is not too bad to read. If I mess words up, you must be kind, yes? Or at least laugh only a little.

If they do show our grand performance on screen, I would love to go watch it with you! I still do not know if it was real or just play, but either way, it was great fun. Perhaps we are famous now? That would be strange.

And as for your interest in alchemy - yes! I would be happy to teach you how to make drink. There is much more science to it than people think, but I know you are a quick learner! Maybe next time we meet, we can brew something strong enough to make even Valerius tipsy. …That is a joke, unless he can get tipsy?

Speaking of which, since you also like the fine tradition of post-battle drinks and baths, I will have to look into how to transmute bathwater into wine. It would be a great time-saver, yes? You soak and sip. I must become the first to master this art. Also joke.

For now, I am still looking for my next adventure, but I hope to be back on the road soon. The world has too many mysteries to sit in one place too long.

Write again if you like! I would like that. Until then, fight well and drink even better.

With regards,
Lona]

Greetings, Lady Caelia

The lance has been holding out excellently doing practices. Unfortunately, I have yet to test it during an actual combat situation. However, considering I’m currently in The Kingdom, the opportunity will present itself pretty soon.

I understand the desire to get acquainted to a noble with more… experience regarding our own midst. Every step often needs to be measured and calculated, after all. With that in mind, I see little reason to not accept your invitation. Finding reliable nobles is of paramount importance to any and all local rulers.

As soon as I’m done with my business in this foreign land, I shall see to it that this meeting is arranged.

Yours truly,

Ah, Amice Bellamy. I thought I might not hear from you again.

No thanks are necessary. It was a rather... amusing activity that is drastically different to what I'm used to.

I wouldn't say that I'm exactly having fun, but I'm rather entertained. Met a foreign noble who happens to be a moon-blessed vampire, The Kingdom sure is weird, hah!

The green 'lady' was simply too taken in by my presence to be able to articulate words properly. She was simply too... emotional, let's say. Meanwhile, I just called her of things she actually is, no more, no less. Our methods of transportation have nothing to do with it.

Oh yes, one of the cats, Oreo, indeed spoke. Not only that, it knew exactly how things are around it. It was a refreshing sight to see that even some animals have that capability.

Keep on facing your fears, until you finally reach the breaking point. Will you overcome it or crumble down?

  Hey Amice
  
  I appreciate the letter. And yes, my arm is still here. I'm glad your fingers are still there as well. We'll have to hope our injuries stay healed.
  
  Fear is a normal thing, yes. The big mean monster that hurt me is still a little scary, but fighting our fears is a good thing. You should stay away from goblins, but don't let them scare you off things you like.
  
  Your adventure sounds fun. I didn't know cats were magical, or that they turned into smoke. Thank you for letting me know. As for me, I'm going to explore a river. I'm not sure why, but I can buy some things with the reward. Maybe ingredients for pancakes. If Asuka, Tahmuras, and you are ever near Caelia, visit Stonewall. I'll take the day off and convince Aileen to make you pancakes.
  
  Have fun

  Hello
  
  I know you weren't the happiest of seeing me leave so far, just after you got me my arm back. And I know you might not want to read this. But please do. I'd really appreciate it.
  
  You might not remember exactly, but last year I also gave you a letter around the same time as this one. I was thinking maybe we could make it a yearly tradition if you want.
  
  That said, I am really struggling with writing this one. Not because I lack feelings for you, but because I am bad with words. You wrote me a whole poem last year! I was amazed. I didn't know you had that gift. And that made me feel bad, because there is no way I can write something as beautiful back at you. But I decided to at least try. Here goes:
  
  Embraced in the forge
  For our love is wrought in flame
  Orichalcum clad
  
  It's a Kuridani style of poem. I don't really understand it, but apparently its shortness is part of its beauty. I do hope you at least like it.
  
  Also, make time for when I'm back. I have favors to get done, but after that, I was hoping to spend some time with you. Just us.
  
  Love

Human,

Whilst it is still somewhat preposterous that I would consult a Human of all beings, Islwyn keeps insisting that 'it'd be fun' to at least try and says that you might know some 'good stuff' as she proclaims it. So, feel free to humour her and reply to my inquiry.

During my youth, I lived rather promiscuous. To the extend that having a 'fling' was casual business. That behaviour of mine got punished after such a casual deal went utterly wrong. Since then, I've recovered and attempted to change my ways for the better.

I believed one such struggle was in dealing with this Sylphid, Ophenia, whom I met first during a mission into a most magical part of the See. You see, she was rather troublesome at times, but I believe I managed to get along without ulterior motives and even became her manager, for she is an idol. Some rumours that she has passed away keep persisting, but I'm sure they'll be disproven before long.

A bit later, me, along with my companions Keone and Islwyn, were requested by mister Shaamil to aid him in conveying his love to miss Tamarack. It was extraordinarily odd how he attempted to convey such an emotion, but in his own way, it seemed awfully genuine. I'm glad to say we managed to aid them in achieving a lasting relation. Perhaps that's what got me curious on the topic of love.

That's when I met her, during another mission. Calliope. Her smile is as bright as the sun that feeds me. Her laugh as gentle as the wind the caresses my leaves. She is brave in all her own ways. She is loyal to a fault. We went to a city near the ocean together to heal the leader's pet. She was by my side when I suffered the painful procedure of having my Heart's Seed restored to me. She saw me at my lowest.

She was also there when I met with Ophenia again, during a more fun and casual outing where I saw, more than ever, just how lovely she was. She taught me that love can arise the boundaries between Beasts and Fae, for she was, at heart just like a Fae. Even her family that I was introduced too was quick to warm up too. Then it ended. Her duties to her village and my duties to the See had us drift and fall apart.

To date, I still feel like something is missing. A warmth the sun cannot provide. I've distracted myself with missions like helping a village in Kuridan, venturing into the Shade of the See and even dealing with a West Empire noble in a bathhouse of all places. I even debated asking the hero of our nation, that I once met for her advice, but the shameful impression I left makes me unable to reach out for her advise.

Right now, I feel like I'm slipping back towards my old desires. To abandon the thought of love. I have a pet Human, Nikita, a girl that keeps sticking around, that I enjoy raising. I have two companions that are fun and loyal. My guide, Shael, is competent and wise. Perhaps that is enough? Yet, somehow, that void still feels there. What should I do? Should I simply return to how I was and focus on the short-lived encounters of intimacy to fill it? To do as the Satyrs do and frolic such thoughts away? I often debated it, for it hurts too much to keep dealing with.

Now that I've committed this all to paper, let it be clear. I have no particular expectation of you, a mere Human to know anything. Yet even so, I am willing to at least read your response. Perhaps it shows that I am, indeed, a bit desperate. Needlessly to say, I will deny the existence of this letter and ensure I might one day root on your corpse if you ever dare use this information against me. The honour of being allowed to give me advice comes with equal risk of your death should you betray it.

With regards,

Euthalia

Aniel Valentino,

It has come to my attention that you are known for having certain insight and wisdom when it relates to matters of love. Whether or not this is true, I am not sure, but I'll take a gamble.

You see, I am pondering the nature of the love one might have towards their property. In a past life, I didn't really manage to succeed to make them flourish, but it seems this life has blessed me with far more chances.

The first property I obtained was a Melia, Human warrior who'd been neglected. Nobody saw her potential. Now, she's shaping up to become an ideal warrior. Strong, brave, loyal. Her muscles are a pleasure to look at, well-formed and in amazing shape. She's shaping up to flourish one day, I can feel. it.

The next one was another Human, Ryuuji, who's turned out an insanely valuable asset. His healing magic is useful, he has a great brain on his shoulders, he is proactive and reliable. He even has an utmost ideal and pragmatic mind-set. It's earned him freedom beyond what many might imagine.

After that is Jastira, a Fae mage who's got that typical Fae beauty to her. Her master truly didn't spot any of her talents. She too, has the right mindset to make it further in life and I think her voice is soothing. She can become a great songstress before long.

Then comes Lei-Cao, who's behaviour is utterly confusing. Most of the time, she can be stubborn, lazy, unbearable, a bad-mouth, a good-for-nothing, she blames others for her own mistakes, she refused to learn from them herself, she cannot bear to acknowledge defeat. In many ways, she is utterly horrible. Yet... even then, there is something. Be it the glistening sweat on her body, ripe to become that of a true warrior, during the few times she actually puts in the work. Be it the few times she is utterly obedient after a good punishment and becomes the most adorable mooh. It convinces me I'd love nothing more than to develop her into the warrior she's meant to be. I'll just need to figure out how.

Following is Diego who's an odd one. He seems world-strange at times. Few demands, but those he does have are clear. His stories about his own 'world' are beyond absurd, yet intriguing. He practically seems to train himself with little need for me to get involved. Yet any time, I feel like he's on the verge of some new breakthrough and showing me some new talents. He's an odd one, like an egg ready to hatch. I'm just eager to find out what it'll hatch into.

Then there are Teti and Fenrir. I never knew I needed a maid and butler in my life until I gained them. Having someone to serve you makes everything a lot easier and more pleasurable. Having them compete over it is an absolute joy to see as well. It makes you feel wanted, doesn't it? To have an adorable maid try his best and pleasing you with a purr. To have a capable butler wag his tail at a compliment you give him? It's bliss. Sometimes I truly worry it might have made me go too easy on them. It's even throwing me off form making them flourish, at this rate, which would be showing how much I'm falling for their capable services. I can only imagine how much worse that'll get the more they learn.

Finally, there's Kagemalum, now known as Jethro. Is it odd to become slightly obsessed with someone that murdered you? Now that I'm getting over the initial shock and hatred, I'm started to realise how much talent it took him to accomplish that. Not just that, he held off most my other property on his own. Even whilst being under the influence of some Hive-Mind. How much more would he be able to do if trained and equipped properly? Now that he belongs to me, how much better could I make him? The thought alone is tantalising. I cannot resist wanting to find the answers to it.

So, now that I've given you a detailing, I shall ask again. How would one classify the nature one has towards their property? Towards developing them? Towards making them better, the best version of themselves. To thoroughly love seeing them grow and accomplish more and to want to see to whatever it takes to help them get there? I believe it is the purest form of love, but I still haven't found a word to describe it. A way to truly define it.

Should you be able to give me a satisfactory answer, I'd be happy to take you on. You'd have all the aid you need in fulfilling your own goals, to be made to flourish.

With regards,

Saoirse Desrosiers

Hey,

I'll admit I waited a few days before reading it, but I couldn't wait forever. I'm sorry. I didn't reply immediately, that was immature. I'm not sure why you suddenly had to be off, or what for, but I'll have to trust you.

It's surprising that you remember that poem... It's a bit embarrassing. I don't know anything about Kuridan type poetry, but I love that you made it for me!

Well, perhaps I'll be the one off on a big and far adventure on my own by the time you're back. I heard the Continental Lake has some really cool was to smith underwater, you know?

…

…

Just kidding. I'll make some time. In the meantime, your compliment made me want to try again. Even though I still think it's a little embarrassing.

…

…

Gently flowing hair, the colours of an autumn tree,
A deep green eye that speaks its own story,
One to drown in when it's locked in with mine,
Coaxed by a smile, a stopper of time,

The winds may sweep him away,
To where I don't know,
Yet there is one thing I say,
My heart will follow.

Dear Sir Marcus Banecroft,

I am glad to have received this unexpected letter from you, and this chance to speak again. Would "sir" be appropriate? I do not know your actual status, though it feels the most fitting

I do, however, wish to make a polite correction before continuing: I do not love the Empire, as it—along with the See—look down upon my kind with disdain. While I respect your reverence and servitude to the Empire, it is only because of the circumstances I faced that I chose to assist it twice now. Perhaps this topic could be discussed more, should we meet again, but that should hopefully suffice as an explanation.

Nonetheless, I wish to thank you in turn for your impeccable fighting during the operation, and I appreciate the sentiment.

Now, I find both of your offers most intriguing. To provide your service as a warrior for a time, at no cost, is a great gift to give; I had considered rejecting, as I did not want you to hold any obligation to me, yet I could not be so rude. Thus, I shall take your first offer happily, and know that I may call upon you if in dire need of help.

Your second offer both interests me, and worries me. If there truly is a third party, then this is a dangerous and momentous task. I am open to this offer, and would ask that you send a reply with where and when to potentially find you for this venture. Unfortunately, I cannot guarantee I will be in the right circumstances to assist, but if I am able, I will seek to join you.

I hope that whatever the case may be, that you shall fare well, and that your courage will carry you to success.

Kind regards,
Glacier

Dear Knight Ethel,

I greet you and yours in turn, so that you are greeted as well.

It brings me joy to hear that you have done so well, Ethel. When I next visit Stonewall, I would like to hear about this training that has made you ever stronger. I myself have been making slow, but steady progress in refining my connection. I have even acquired an enhancement to my core, which is a story far too long for this letter.

I am sure that you shall be an even tougher challenge to duel, and perhaps I will be defeated. Still, I would implore that you do not succumb to overconfidence; a knight such as yourself needs both confidence to stand strong in the world, yet also humility to recognize their own capacity.

I am fairing well, and I answer yes to all of your questions. Much has happened since I saw you and Inola some time ago, but in the end, nothing has changed who and what I am.

As I finish this letter, I will say that I dearly hope all is still good for you and Stonewall.

Kind regards,

Dear Chef Inola

You are welcome for the help, for it was enjoyable to assist your work. I am glad to know that you may now make more ice, without my presence being needed. Although, I did not know that a combination of hot and cold tasted amazing, as you say. Honestly, I find it somewhat odd to know this, but that is merely the opinion of one who is tethered to the cold side.

A frozen basement, or closet, seems a great idea to keep things cold; the concept even feels familiar to me, though I do not recall ever seeing one myself. When I visit Stonewall again, it will be my pleasure to assist you further. I am happy to help a friend, and for the chance to continue applying the element of ice in such useful ways.

Until then, I wish you well, and hope that you continue to find enjoyment and success in preparing foods.

Kind regards,

To Mr. Deliverance,

I remember the Gloomhold Swamp, it was a dangerous, foul place to trudge through. Sometimes I wonder why I followed those strange pleas for help, but I can't talk to my past self. On that note, I've not heard from Paru nor Boreas, and I never sought them out. Truth be told, I'm surprised you went through the effort to write this letter to me, but I respect that you'd want to speak with someone you fought alongside with for a time.

I will be truthful: Your "contemplations" are not ones I can properly understand. I have read your letter over many times now, yet I am no philosopher, and I could not begin to know what you have experienced without seeing or experiencing it myself. Of course, I cannot just dismiss what you have written to me, so I will try to write back my thoughts.

Justice is something I believe that most people seek, yet the world is always filled with injustice no matter what is done. At the very least, I do know what it is like to feel death, and to be forced to start your life over in a drastically different way, in a body that is not the same. I imagine that what I have dealt with is a far lesser version of what you now face. I only share this because of the severity of your letter. Do not speak of this to any other.

You are not me, and I cannot give advice that I know would fit you, but remember this: You are not the only one to experience the world's injustice. Others will have different stories, but I do not doubt that there are some, throughout history or in the present, that have experienced just as much pain and suffering as you. You are not alone in unjust suffering, so keep this in mind, and maybe your hatred will be tempered; because if you let it consume who you are, then you will not be the same person I fought beside in that swamp.

Maybe this will help you, maybe it will not. I do not have the right to tell you what to think, but as you have asked me, it is all I can say as I sit here writing this.

For whatever it is worth, I do hope that you will find your way forwards.

Respectfully,
Darin, Marksman of Firearms

HIYA!!!

My name is Zahrah and I'm a happiness researcher. I'm also a Redcliffe Contributor, Hero of Ravenswood Village, Saviour Of Shiku No Mura, Simple, Mile High Club of Happiness Member, Convict Converter, Solution Seeker, Bird Post, Loved by Outcasts, Happiness Stuffing, Understudy, Seamstress, Actor, Singer, Dancer, Spoken Worder and Tin Whilster!

Anyhow, what's waaaaaay more important is who you are! I heard you are all about spreading love and love is amazing for happiness! That's soooo cooool! I'm a big fan, big fan! I also want to learn how to spread love to help with researching happiness. Can I give you a few examples to see if you can help me? I'll assume I can!

Fist of all, there's my mommy, an artisan names Sophia Smith who made me. I love her a lot and I think she loves me too, but she kicked me out and I never saw her since, so I'm not sure!

Then I went to help a count with rebuilding a village. I don't recall a lot though. Does forgetting people mean you didn't love them?

Anyhow, after I met Tiefy! She's the most lovely friend I ever met, even if she can't talk and smells a little bad and looks like she might eat someone's brains, she's really nice and kind and a great friend! I even revisited her and the Haltrial Flowers I befriended. I also sent her a letter each year! At least!

When I joined the Mile High Club of Happiness I was having some really nice conversations with guards, but the airship crashed and people died. Although I later found out mister Zeke and some of his crew survived! We got along pretty well, but I only say miss Ul Dyril again.

Even the ones I saw during the bandit raid or that mission for missing brewers all vanished. You know, that happens a lot. It's like the existence of the friends I make keeps being erased. It's really saddening.

Like when I tried befriending a sad snake or when I tried befriending a flesh goop and they were killed in my arms. That was really sad.

I did have a nice concert with Ophenia, an Idol, or well, she missed out and I had to take her place, but the thought was nice! I even had a solo one in the east where working with the people there was really lovely!

I made some friends going on a mission to a theatre where I ate a tiny glass turtle, which is still inside of me. Is keeping something safe inside your stomach a way to express your love for it?

Oh! I met a really nice aunt Giovanna, who cooked me spaghetti made from yarn, that I could eat! Normally I can't eat as it makes my insides soggy and dirty. Yet she made me something I could eat! I can even take it back out and eat it again, whenever I miss her! Isn't cooking for someone a sign of love? I think I'm in love and perhaps she is too!

I'm not going to Kuridan to explore and perhaps renovate a castle.

Either way, it seems almost everyone I come to know keeps leaving and vanishing. It's pretty sad. Yet they say that 'if you love someone, yet them go' right? So does that mean I loved all those people a lot and that they also loved me?

I miss my mommy. I miss some friends. I miss Tiefy. Yet admitting to that'd be bad for happiness.

Either way, I'd love to hear your answer! Clearly the topic of love is vital to understand for my happiness research! So please give me the loveliest of lovely answers!

Wishing you all the happiness in the world,

Zahrah!

Dear mister Valentino,

Whilst your rumoured status as 'an angel' have left me wondering some, your status as man wise in the matters of 'love' have made me wish to reach out regardless.

You see, in my profession as a Syncretist Bishop, I am not forbidden to marry. Nor am I forbidden to find intimacy with others. I must merely ensure that it does not go against my duty to the greater good. As such, I have pondered. To what extend can one 'love' others without it interfering with such a sacred duty?

There was a man I met once, Cayde Whitinger. He was extraordinarily skilful, capable, kind and motivating. To the point that I imagined that he'd be someone I'd love to have by my side forever. He even aided my home-town, the Holy City of Vegard. During that mission we also met Malerie, an odd yet kind woman. I miss them both, but I can no longer seem to find or contact them.

During another mission, I met some children, Haruki and Tia. I'm not sure why, but I felt a great deal of concern for them and attempted to take care of them. Oddly enough, seeing them come to trust me gave me a sense of fulfilment and a [Daddy] status that has stuck with me. I... I miss it. I should admit to that much. I tried teaching out and finding them, multiple times, but they too, seem to have vanished. No matter how much I tried keeping them close. Even with Cayde helping out to save the city, I couldn't keep an eye on them and ensure their safety as well.

It might be odd but I met a god once, the deity of peace. I didn't manage to satisfy his demands and had my legs cursed. In my attempt to have them cured, a Kitsune man attacked me and nearly had me killed. Thankfully, somehow and with the aid of Malerie, I managed to survive and push through. That was the last time I saw Malerie. She vanished halfway through our journey, I'm still not sure when, why or how. It shames me I couldn't thank her more for her aid.

There is a fellow priest of mine, Eris, that I met. Her deity is all about reincarnation. Do you believe in such a thing? Sometimes I wonder if those I cared for passed on into another life.

Once, I was captured by bandits. I met some people that aided me. A fary, Ninelle, a living armour suit, Kurikara, some shirtless man, Tyrmar and some escaped slaved, Lirek, Taji and Nashi. I even summoned some amazing allies, Valhyr and Hymn. Even though Nashi attempted to betray us out of fear for the sake of her child, I managed to convince her against it. Instead, we parted as friend and allies. It was something that started horrible, but ended most beautifully. I even had the pleasure of welcoming Nashi safely into the Holy City of Vegard, along with her daughter and friends. It fills my heart with a great amount of joy to know they are there. Safe and sound. Having a better, nicer life. Even though I miss them from time to time. There was something about her ferociousness, her ability to cut through things with her actions and words, that hasn't quiet left my mind.

After that, I spent a long time in Kuridan, attempting to help an upcoming warlord. It was a tough time, during which I had too much work to do to contemplate much.

It was different then when I went to come help a rancher near the Paizu Mountains. After I helped rescue and heal her sheep and even cured the perpetrator of a werewolf curse, she opened up and turned out to be pleasant and welcoming person. Sadly enough, I was never able to finish my mission at the village the cursed man had come from. The friends I made that aided me vanished one after the other, leaving me alone and unable to fulfil my duties. It fills me with pain and regret.

Once, I aided in bringing down a rogue construct, who claimed to have become sentient and to wish not to be enslaved. The existential questions were difficult. They surely make one wonder, what really is sentience? When does it start? It kept my mind occupied.

Yet my contemplations on love started all over again when I met an odd knight who selflessly aided me in relocating displaced villagers. He's been with me ever since. It's odd. Sometimes it feels like he views the world through an incomprehensible lens. His conclusions are reached through a logic not my own. Yet his presence makes me feel safer. His goals are still somewhat beyond my full scope of understanding, yet I trust they are good.

Whilst I believe I have no rights to it, I would wish for him, at least, to stay by my side. So many others I have come to care for have vanished. Sometimes I wonder if I should close off my heart. What if he vanishes too? Would the constant loss of people not affect my duties as a bishop? It's why I'm still wondering. When would love start to affect my ability to do what I'm called to do. To work for the good of all? Perhaps the answer is simple. The moment I feel it towards someone?

It's weighing heavily on my mind. Perhaps I am called only to love the world as I aid it, not as I live in it. If you are truly an 'angel of love' as some rumours claim you to be, I would love to hear your take on my dilemma.

With respectful regards,

Ceylan

Carissima Kalina

It is my greatest wish this finds you well and healthy.

Foremost, I would advise against threatening to kill the solution to all your love problems ♡ Especially as I am myself a dear angel and messenger of the weaver of wiles and the star of love herself. All threats to me is a threat to your own romantic endeavours.

Moving on, you can assure to your lover that she is most important to you by simply telling her and proving it to her by being attentive to her needs and procuring what she desires. Making time for her when she wants to do things with you is also very much a thing most appreciated when in an open-relationship, spare all the time in the world for her if you need to.

Regarding this Scylla, who wants to replace you, I suggest confronting her about it. If you are planning to bring in people to your circle of love, then it is important that all of you set and respect eachother's boundaries and make eachother aware of what you do not condone and what you fine with. In polyamorous relationships, mutual communication, openness and understanding is incredibly utterly super-duper definitely essential to a successful relationship. You have to be able to trust and have no need to worry about hiding how you feel with your partners—otherwise, something is awry.

Neither of your solutions are correct in regards to your affair revolving around Vinerva. If you have lost your memory, you have lost that part of yourself—she is practically a stranger to you. You need to make that clear to her, you have tell her that the person she loved is no more and you are now someone—who although the same in appearance and mayhaps demeanour—entirely different. Otherwise, if you were to reciprocate, one of you will end up unsatisfied. And, thinking of your sister fondly is fine. You can find things cute without harbouring romantic feelings for them and I would gravely suggest not harbouring any romantic or lustful emotions toward a blood relative. Love can take forms other than romance.

Falling in love with a person's qualities is entirely possible however relationships that are fueled by such do not often last long. You should love or at least like multiple things about someone before going ahead and tying knots together. On the otherhand, friendships of that nature do tend to be quite strong.

The best way to bring everyone together is by putting them in situations that force them to get to know eachother and to be in the same space. Relaxing group activities like going to the beach together and playing volleyball may be fun, staying together in a hotel room, going out to eat together or even just shopping—ah, I have heard of these things called Hotsprings during my time here, I assume they would be quite an experience for your good company. Eitherway, indulge in doing things together rather than doing them by yourselves and do your best to include everyone as much as possible.

Setting up boundaries with those other people is quite easy, just meet with them and politely tell them how you feel. Whether they choose to respect your thoughts or not shows whether they should even stay or not. Personally, I would not suggest having those who lack your interests encroach upon your intimate circle.

You are in the wolf's mouth from here on out, if you need any further advice, please do not hesitate to keep me up to post♡

[Hey, what's up mister Valentino!

I heard that you know your stuff about love and all that? That's great! I wanted to ask you about Bonding Rituals and Friendship!

You see, I was made to be the next stage in evolution. Half-construct, half-human. I may have a few screws loose and some creaky bits, but I'm pretty strong. I'm also dual-wielding in the downstairs department, which seems to scare some folk off. Even though I'm pretty sure my creator settled on that for optimal reproductive capacity for the next stage of evolution.

Anyhow, my first love was Valerius. He's my buddy through thick and thin and we fought a lot of battles together, smashing up our foes. He's a great hammer. He was also around when I met my next buddy Kota, a kitsune fellow. Then later I met two other friends Aedrianna and Purpler. We killed a monster bear and went to a bathhouse together and at the bear meat. It was amazing! I loved doing that. There were no bonding rituals though.

We split up after a bit of an incident where things turned a bit violent with some folk chasing Soreiel or something. We didn't meet again since, which is a shame. I wonder if it was due to the earlier lack of bonding rituals.

Then I went to Widersia and met Yunaesa and Decimus and we fought some stuff. Yuna is amazing. She's just like me, half-construct and her creators has almost everything in common with mine. A crazy coincidence for sure! We went to a really fun bathhouse with all sorts of mechanical stuff going on afterwards, but we didn't do any bonding rituals there.

After, me and Yuna killed some bugs and we met an Elf, Irihi, that died. But we resurrect her in a bathhouse. That's where I had my first Bonding Rituals. It started with the Elf using [Drain] on me and [Continuing] on to the next [Target]. Then we got chased out of the waters.

Yet later, she wanted to them again. That's when Yuna also joined in. She made us feel some [Enervation] and would make me [Quake] by making stuff [Flare] up. I thought my [Reach] and [Range] would be sufficient, but on [Contact] I'm not sure if I was enough of a [Breaker] sometimes. Although I was good at [Penetrating] and could even be a [Blind Fighter] if needed, she really managed to be [Flexible] and with some [Spreading] to ensure that Yuna could join in without risk of [Tangle] stuff.

Anyhow, it was a pretty long and thorough bonding ritual that I'd never experienced before. That said, I know I absolutely love those. Sadly enough, I can't figure out where they are from. They don't seem to be Fae specific. Nor specific to that bathhouse. Nor do they seem Elven. Was it just that particular Elf? Or is it a post-Elven resurrection thing?

Is it a way for Elves to say 'thank you for resurrecting me' to let you use your [Hot Shot] across all their [Area]? Like, even the [Knockback] I accidentally caused, she'd just [Deflect] right back in to me. She was rather [Malleable] too and whilst I was sure to be [Non-Lethal] I felt like it would become a [Trap] to leave me [Incapacitated] sometimes. Do you think bonding rituals like that are a type of Love? Do you know where they are from and how I can figure out more about them?

Also, I met a really nice jellyfish clothes maker lady, Rua and an alchemist, Lona, but we didn't do bonding rituals after getting caught in a theatre during a banquet and art gallery thing. Does that mean we weren't real friends or is it just not a jellyfish and human custom? It keeps being confusing. Although if you need amazing clothing, you should totally ask Rua. She looked amazing in her odd see-through like clothing that was like her skin and body.

Anyhow, let me know if you can help me figure stuff about about these bonding rituals and if/how they relate to love and friendship. Even Valerius seems curious.

Thanks in advance mate!

While your words are expressed harshly, your concern is appreciated. I have adapted to my new form, thankfully the new flames which appear on my body appear to be within my control, in that they do not set light to materials that would other wise be flammable without my consent. I do not know what 'getting sent' to this earth would entail but I too am glad that it did not happen, I must continue to serve my allies and the common beast of Kuridan in the best way I Know how. Now I must also oversee that the Fae see is not overtaken for their leader The Spirit King revived me, and I do not take life debts lightly, I hope to forge a connection with them where the non human races such as beast and Fae can live together in harmony without prejudice..as well as along with humans and constructs like yourself who have proven themselves. You have joined me on the battlefield once before and I hope that you all join me again as an ally when the time comes. To get to the core of your questions, I am getting used to things and I am thankful to be alive and here, and I do not intend to give up. I also sincerely hope that you have been doing well otherwise, and I wish you well in you endeavors, thank you for serving on the right side of history as I strive too.

Hey First Friend,

Don't worry I think I got you beat when it comes to odd letter starts. I'll definitely have to take you up on that drink, maybe we could do it somewhere in the Fae See or Widersia, less of a chance they'll refuse to serve you that way. And yeah, no problem, you definitely had it rough back there but you pulled through and that's what's important. On the me helping you thing, it's what good friends do and like I told you I fully plan on keeping up my end of it all.

Give up? That doesn't sound like you Victorique, you've come this far, why would you turn back now? I know that the Spirit King tried to dissuade you but it's clear that this Is important stuff for you, enough to go all over the place, so why keep your dreams as dreams When I know that you're capable of making them a reality? If you need back up again you can count me in.

I'm glad to hear that you're putting that monster in his place, he deserves the full force of the law coming down on him if there was anyone who did, so thanks for that.

I appreciate your kind words, and I do to reply this way simply out of obligation, but I do mean what I said when I told you that I fancy you. Your mind is a beautiful logical thing, something which I've found myself wishing others possessed in this realm in the same way on multiple occasions. It deeply pleases me to hear that you have found my progress satisfactory so far, I fully intend to become even more effective in my magical capabilities, my healing magic has continued to improve and I'm looking to push myself as far as I can as a life warden.

Thank you for trusting me with these responsibilities, it is my desire to make you proud with what I Hope to achieve with these abilities granted by you generously. I sincerely appreciate your offer for assistance with business endeavors which truly seem worthwhile, and that you find me worthy of putting your capital on the line entrusting me to make more of it for you.

As for owning my own slave, I have thought it through. If I were to own a slave, I would wish to use some of your own methods to train them to be effective at what they are most skilled at. Of course having some other slaves in addition to take care of more mundane tasks wouldn't be bad either if they'd let me spend more time focusing on honing my skills.

I am happy to hear that you fancy me back, I hope that even under these circumstances I can continue to be a desirable partner for you.

[Hello Almy and Valerius! Been a hot minute!


It's going pretty good, me and Decimus have been doing more work at the border and we found out some people stole some East Empire constructs and totally hijacked them which made them attack supply lines! So anyway I'm helping resolve some of those issues to make Widersia safer. Food and art sound pretty cool! I definitely would like to go to an event where I could see art and have free food too! Who knows Zjorn might even like taking a look and having a bite too!

I really like having you and Valerius around too! Everyone else is pretty serious all the time and I get why but I really like having fun with you! And yeah I don't know anyone else who knows what it's like to be like us! Metal and skin, and talking weapon buddies which only we can hear for some reason! It's really strange. I miss that too. Yeah!! I can give Decimus more of your regards too! I'll make sure to let him know.

I say hi back to Valerius and Zjorn says hi back and that he wants to hang out with Valerius some more! And Yeah I get you, I Decimus has been fun to work with regardless, and I'm sure he'd like to see you again soon too! So I'll definitely let you know if there's one we think you'd be able to tag along in.

Those bonding rituals were pretty funny, I don't really know what the point of them are other than getting to know each other, but yeah! We could try more games like that. I'd totally like to go to a floating bathing the sky with you some time too!

And about you P.S. I think mine might have disappeared forever too, but I wanted to stay uniform so I got some new ones quickly after, I don't think I'd be up to code if I decided to go without on operations!

Dear Boss lady.

This letter has remained a mystery to everyone but you, and is now your responsibility as I am giving it back to dodge the extra responsibility and to give you a reply in secret.

The paperwork was my main concern since in my past work I had to sign papers for nearly anything, including going to the restroom outside of the work mandated times. So of course I will hate paperwork.

But you are indeed correct, I was a sort of monster-slayer, though most of the time we would capture such things and contain them rather than kill them outright. Our superiors were researchers, so they preferred researching those entities, magical beings, monsters, magical items. I will not say I enjoy hunting monsters, but it is something I know best. So I shall probably pursue it.

If that is your wish, I shall go then and defend the Kingdom on your behalf.

As for your request for Melia's training, it is something I was planning to do, but now, with your recognition and permission, I shall do it with all my might and care. I hope the way Melia will progress under my wing will not disappoint you. Although I do not know if I will have time to do so when I go to the Kingdom of Rotia, if it is in fact under monster invasion. As I might not be able to protect myself and Melia at the same time, while keeping track of her training.

Diego Argento.

P.S. I could part with some of my knowledge on torture. But for a proper torture it needs the carrot and the stick. The torture is obviously the stick, but it needs the sweet release, something she might like and enjoy for the carrot. Best you could do is give her the stick, and give her the carrot once she does something good, even if it isn't what you asked for. Whatever the carrot is some food, a nice word or something. It could form a Pavlovian Response. I will probably explain it to you at some point but sadly space on this letter is ending.
