Nairore's Mementos

[Nairore]

x x

Nairore is traveling a lot recently, while training with Merik. However she does make a point of keeping lines of communication with her home open for whenever she stops by a major town for supplies or so forth.

Dearest Nai,

I do so wish you had told me yourself that you decided to leave, but I understand. Everyone has to leave home at some point, no? I wish I could do the same, but I know father would disapprove of such a decision from me. That is alright, because I can always dream about a journey, no? I know you are not telling father everything, and me by extension, but this is your adventure. Please be careful in what you are trying to seek, because they do not say what you will find. I'm rambling again, aren't I? Forgive me, but I really do miss you so much.

Father was practicing magic with me again, but the lesson did not go well. No matter how much I beg, I cannot dissuade him from making me confront my fear. I burned his hand while trying to heal him, and I know he is going to have me confront my fear sometime soon. I do not want to remember that night, but the choice is no longer mind. He asked me about the dreams I have. The voices I hear, but father does not understand. I have no choice, and I think I will soon be someone else. Oh, but do not listen to me! You are on a fun adventure of your own! I am so envious, but I really hope you have the best time with your tutor. Perhaps he can teach you things father was not able, and I highly doubt any of the knights would ever look at me. You know how they think of me. I am safe in my madness, but no one else agrees.

My virtue is safe from them. I hope you can write again soon, and tell your tutor I am very grateful that he has taken such an interest in training you! I miss you more than words can describe, and I pray that you stay safe, sister.

Much love,
Lorina

Dearest Nai,

Oh, it is wonderful to hear from you again, sister. Keep clear to keep your mind straight, but it seems to be hard at the moment for you. You are fearful? Things must be rather serious, and take care to find more distractions to busy yourself with. We can talk things over when you come back, because we both know father's views are colored by hatred and bitterness. Rest easy, sister. Your secrets are always safe with me.

You need to sleep, or you will become as mad as I am. Oh, I should tell you the good news! Well, perhaps good is not the proper word to describe it; although, father certainly thinks it is. I remember everything, you know. All the memories of that night, and fire no longer scares me. I suppose I am back to normal, but I am different from that. Neither good or bad, but certainly not the same. No need to worry, Nai, because I will take care of you when you return. As a good sister should, no?

Question everything, sister! Answers are never found otherwise, and we all have to look at everything in front of us. Or behind, or under. You know what I mean. Do not let father pass all his deals to you, and use this experience to shape yourself. Worry not for me, and make sure to set aside more time for sleep. When you are not on edge, you take up entirely too much space. Stay as safe as you can, and I will be here when you get back. Smile for me, too. You get away with so much more when you smile.

The letter has been burned, and no one is the wiser of it. I will see you soon, my dear.

Much love,
Lorina.

Dearest Nai,

I am quite pleased to receive a letter from you before you arrive, sister. Things have certainly changed in the past months you were gone, and at times I wonder if is for the better at all. Do not misunderstand, because I am happy that you are content with the changes in yourself, but I am not so sure if I am comfortable with my own. Oh, it seems you crossed out the name of your tutor. I can make out the faint outline of an 'M.' Well, it seems you have much to tell me when you arrive here, sister.

I can promise nothing in regards to softening father to whatever changes you deem he will not accept. My own relationship with him has been distant as of late, and I would prefer to keep it that way. I am still angry with him for forcing me to remember, but I shall try. We all must choose for ourselves at some point, but father can be quite stubborn and close minded to anything that does not fall into pattern with his own views. A mind that is not open is quite disappointing to see.

I shall be counting the days until you arrive home, and I am sure it will be a memorable reunion. Things have been relatively peaceful, so perhaps it is merely the calm before the storm you bring. Either way, I will always be on your side. Perhaps I should not bring this up, but I think I may have some feelings toward one of father's Knights. [This part of the letter has been heavily scribbled out.] No, ignore that. I will tell you when you come back, and I hope all goes well for you, Nai.

Love,
Lorina

My lovely Nairore!

I've missed you, you know. You just completely disappeared off the face of the earth and left me all alone! D8 I've been heartsick, dying from the inside out, I miss you so much. Lucky me, though, Lori tells me that you're coming home soon! I can't wait at all. It's been so lonely, here without you. Lori's kept me company, though, so I've survived. She kind of reminds of you. A little bit. Like, a smidgen. No worries, she's been in good hands~! Well, of course. How could anyone under my protection not be in good hands?

Speaking of good hands, I hear that Lori's quite the masseuse. Maybe I should get her to give me a massage one of these days. I mean, this body can only handle so much awesome at one time, y'know?

So I should probably get back. Someone was commenting on your absence and how he misses 'dat ass', so I have to go pulverize him.

Waiting for you, always~!

Love, Leon!

little things Nai might notice: little hearts have been doodled all over the paper, and Leon totally hand-drew those epic faces. the paper's also creamy, thick, very elegant; the envelope it's enclosed in is also very fancy. his handwriting, however, is total chickenscratch.

there's also something that looks like a "LS + Nai = <3 4ever" in the bottom right corner.

My dearest daughter,

It is good to hear from you at long last. My apologies for not writing to you sooner, but there have been some happenings that have unfortunately occupied my attention. After your leaving, I have had to deal with far fewer complaints from the priests of the medicae, though hammering certain points home about swordsmanship has become more... Difficult, to say the least. They progress, but regrettably, I have had to turn back to the usage of magic for the majority of them. Needless to say, they seem to appreciate the lack of resounding defeats you seemed to have a knack of bestowing upon them.

While I am glad of your progress in both your training and your discovery of new elements of yourself, I must impress upon you the gravity in the things that may cross your mind. While Rwaht can teach you the fundamental aspects honour and loyalty, only you can embrace them entirely. Just as your sister... Develops, I hope that you also develop, but as I have spoken to her, I speak to you also. The path well traveled is not necessarily the right one, and the most appealing, can often be the most damning.

I should however like to hear more about your training. Having never had the privilege to train alongside the great Swordmaster, I do take a keen interest in that which he instructs. Hopefully upon your visit, we can discuss his practices and ideas. Could you try to persuade him to come back with you, for I would like to speak to him in person as well, should his time render it possible.

I would also like to mention that a certain young Knight has been,,, Particularly persistent in his attempt to get a letter past me. I have let it slide. Would you kindly remind him in a letter that he is not to take your place in administering physical punishment to those who fail to keep their tongues in check.

Wishing you well

Zenethil

(The letter is sealed with his personal crest. The griffon's head is embossed into red wax, on an otherwise plain envelope. The handwriting is elegant, flowing, and immaculately presented. Clearly a great amount of care has been taken as to the delivery of this relatively inconspicuous note.)

Three days with me in the desert will teach you more about being Gerudo than a month with Merik Dragmire.

Get him to take you to me. He'll know where to find me.
