[OMG IT'S BACK. A break from phones, happytears!]

[Dragon Mail: Zachary Bristol]

Are you all right? I don't know everything this sudden merge did to the world. I hope you managed to avoid the war, at least. It never did move into Safta.

I should tell you: my being alive is no longer a secret to the paladins. You don't have to keep quiet anymore. I'm sorry for the trouble that gave you.

I'm still under scrutiny, but you'll be able to enter Bastan without being considered a criminal now.

[Can we pretend these are unrelated yes okay bye.]


[Dragon Mail: Nayan]

I wasn't at liberty to tell you.

I'm sorry.

[Signed, of course, Victor Bristol.]

[Now to brace himself.]

Does it bother you?

[pulledunder]

[YES]

Yes.

[WAIT CAN'T LIE]

[sigh]

I don't want to see you get hurt, but it's not for me to say who you should or shouldn't be with.

[shadowyarts]

[omg no :(

he starts to write 'How could he hurt me?' but stops. Maybe a year ago he wouldn't have been able to guess. Even just a few months ago. Old-Zach was pretty naive and childish.

He's not much better now, but he knows what Rogues are.]

I've changed. I may be better at handling a relationship with a Rogue than you think I am.

But it's still my first relationship. I may still need guidance now and then. I'd hate to think you'd be unable to offer it without just wanting to punch him in the face every time something seemed to go wrong.

[pulledunder]

[SIGH]

My own experience is limited, but I'm your brother. I'm willing to listen.

And I [SIIIIGGGH] promise not to punch Nayan in the face if you bring up your relationship troubles.

[shadowyarts]

Listening may be enough.

Thank you.

[NEW SUBJECT]

Are you staying in Bastan?

[pulledunder]

[:|!! ... but whelp. It is what it is...?]

Outside of it with some of the other guild forces. I doubt I'm a welcome face in the city proper.

[shadowyarts]

I'm not really a fan of the place. And I'm not much use with mana burn, so we're probably going to head back to Stonecaster until I recover.

At least with dragon mail back we can keep in touch better.

[pulledunder]

I prefer it to phones, but inn case something happens to the dragons again, here's my information:
[phone number and email yaay]

I may drop by to gather my things. I'll let you know before I show up in case you're there. Is there anything you need I could bring?

[shadowyarts]

[here have his info too in case you need to call/write him first]

I don't think so.

Unless you're able to stay long enough to cook a meal...

[pulledunder]

That I can do.

[shadowyarts]

[yay :>]

I look forward to it.
