11/5 - Messenger Bird

[notwithoutafight]

[ A letter, neatly folded and tucked into an equally neat envelope, arrives by messenger bird to Farah’s residence early on November 5th.

The contents of the letter are less clean than the envelope suggests. Videl’s handwriting is somewhat wobbly and there are ink blots everywhere, evidence of her inexperience with an ink pen. Writing is scribbled out here and there as she thought about how best to phrase her apology and bemoaned Empatheias’s lack of computers. ]

Farah,

I’m sorry for the way I was acting after Thras died. I said a bunch of stupid, totally untrue things and acted like an idiot in front of basically the whole city. I don’t know what made me do that. There’s no excuse for my actions. You tried to talk to me and help me, even though I accused you of trying to get in the way of my stupid plan to prove a lie that I was obsessed with. I never should have done that. I’m sorry I did that to you.

I also want to thank you for stopping me from going to Shaarnath that night. I probably would’ve gotten myself both of us killed trying to fly there in the state I was in.

[ The are a few more ink blots and scribbled out words as Videl tried to think of what else to say. She isn’t particularly good with apologies. Or writing letters. ]

I understand if you don’t want to talk to me anymore. I was a huge jerk. But I just want you to know that I’m sorry.

Videl

[Now this is the kind of communication Farah is more used to, sending letters. She's not really had to write a whole lot since arriving in Verens thanks to the amulets, but she's grateful for the chance now. Of course she could reply to the letter with a telepathic message- But she wouldn't want to put Videl on the spot. Not when she clearly put a lot of time and thought into her letter, what with all the edits and changes.

The messenger bird will return to Videl later that same day, another neatly folded letter in an envelope and a Steambucks brownie with it. Farah's handwriting is simple and in capital print.]

11/6

[ Reading Farah's letter just about makes Videl cry with relief when she receives it later that day. She was almost expecting to get a letter full of curses and denouncements, so the heartfelt affirmation of friendship is so relieving that it buoys Videl's mood. A fragrant, flowery air of happiness lingers around Videl for the rest of the day, imprinting itself ever so slightly in the return letter she pens down and sends out by messenger bird first thing the following morning. ]

Farah,

Thanks for writing me back. I'm really glad I didn't screw things up between us.

I'm going to take a break from things for a little while so I can clear out my head, but I'm definitely up to train with you after that. I'll give you a call I'll let you know when. Steambucks after that is on me.

Videl
