Sir,

They assigned one of the other cadets to you to fill in for me for the next couple of days. I took an injury in the line of duty and it was recommended I get some rest.

Cadet Savinkov

P.S. Happy Fourth of July, if I don't see you before then, sir.

[ whaaaat what is this

injury in the line of duty... ]

While patrolling, you mean?

I have heard there are some overly defensive citizens... [ a blazebeast in the nenakret, really? he can't believe the lengths some people will go to, or the types of people others have made up. ] Get some rest, then. It's no fun getting attacked by this stuff.

[ fourth of- oh what, really? ] I didn't even think about that when I was looking at the dates. I barely even remembered my own birthday.

[firecracker_hopping]

That is correct, sir. While patrolling. We had a mage who got extremely aggressive over an eclair and blew up part of the street.

They healed me, so nothing dire.

[Second degree burns on her legs, Majestica. She is so not happy with you! But then they got healed so it was just scary.]

I was trying to keep up with dates back home, but it is hard. Mostly for my family; one of my younger brothers graduated high school. I wanted to make sure I sent everything at the right time. Before he leaves for college, too.

Happy belated birthday, for what it is worth!

[coolmonsoon]

Yes, I've already heard about that. We've got some people in there already patching things up.

[ ah... family... he hasn't spoken much to his recently... it just feels so weird to, like it's not the same person talking to them anymore... or the other way around, like he's talking to a bunch of strangers. ]

It's good to keep in touch with them. Maybe take the time now to do that.

Ah, it was [ ... ] just at the start of the tournament. Not even worth mentioning now, but thanks.

What will you be doing the next little while?

[firecracker_hopping]

That's good. Can you have one of the people working on the case find out if the merchant that she was was uninjured? I could not ask myself.

[...just at the start of the tournament. She literally got Ezra the worst birthday present in the history of mankind.]

Write a few letters and keep off my feet. They are sore and itch a lot.

I have a book on the Roman army and a Saftan military history to read. I know next to nothing about non-rifle carrying heavy infantry and want to understand their tactics and strategy a little better.

I probably should take the chance to relax, though, while it is there.

[coolmonsoon]

Ah... yeah, of course. I'll get someone out to check up on that for you.

[ well... she's studious, at least. he could probably use to read up on that stuff but he really can't see where he has the time. ]

Let me know if you come across anything useful to pass along.

You won't have much once you've recuperated, so I'd take it if I were you.

[firecracker_hopping]

Thank you, sir.

I will do that! I'm taking notes as I read. I'll arrange to have a copy made for you, if you would like.

And yes, you're absolutely correct. Last chance for some time, I think.

[coolmonsoon]

Thank you, Savinkov. [ ... ] Let me know when you're done and I can come pick them up myself. I'm getting cabin fever walking around the same area all the time.

Good. Get some sleep in remembrance of me.

[firecracker_hopping]

I'll do so, sir. On both accounts.
