A Letter to Home

To: All
Subject: No Subject (Backdated to the first week)
[ Words that begin to appear in the journals are written slowly, as if with intent. The handwriting is... coherent at best at this slower pace, but every word is coming in gradually and seemingly with more frustration.
Guess who thinks this is just a plain ol' journal to use? ]
Dear Aeir

[ The words at the bottom of the page are suddenly cut out, as if completely disregarded or tossed away.
But seconds later another one appears: ]
Hello!

I hope this letter finds you well. As I sit down to write, memories of our adventures together flood my mind. Do you remember the time we went hiking in the mountains and got lost for hours? That was quite the adventure!
I wanted to let you know that I appreciate your letters, even if they don't arrive as often as you'd like. Your words always bring a smile to my face and warmth to my heart.
I love the way you described the fish swimming with their gills - it's a beautiful metaphor for appreciating the little things in life. Your words always have a way of inspiring me.
I'm looking forward to hearing more about your adventures soon. Please know that you can always call on me if you need a listening ear.
Take care, my friend.
Hello and Goodbye,
Aerith.
no subject
Almost.
But the more he's realizing his mistake, the more embarrassed he's becoming. And seeing this response just turns the embarrassment into anger.

I'll forgo the corrections you've certainly already gotten for this mix-up. How long have you been separated from your friend?
no subject
Give him a minute to respond he's really trying to get his bearings back in order. ]
its been about five years
[ Ouch. Writing that down really hit him with the realization of just how long it had been. His heart sinks a bit at the thought, but still clear his head to continue ]

How are you fairing? The weather around this place is certainly changing. It's been cold but I hope the cold lightens up soon.
I regret to inform you that your writing has been viewed to others because this journals we're given have a magical properly for us to communicate. Like writing a letter and sending it, but much faster.
Still, I think it was very sweet of you to try. I'm sure your friend Aerith would find it charming as well. Though, maybe it wouldn't hurt to ask her of the flowers. I think others really enjoy it when you try to converse with things they really love.
Your fellow dream companion,
Yamatonokami Yasusada
no subject
i think thats the most helpful thing ive heard all day. thanks a lot
[ No really- thank you. He'll likely have to go out and find these people to give them a good scolding to in person.
But at the mention of Aerith, he does seem to soft up a bit before taking a few more moments to respond. ]
she loved flowers. took really good care of them too
ill try to add that in the next letter i try to send

Sender: Azula
Instead, in the spirit of friendship and cooperation, I will give you a recommendation to stop writing letters, because you're clearly atrocious at it. Perhaps invest in a tutor, or hire other people to do your talking for you.
Good luck.

Jokes aside, that was beautiful, Zach. Sometimes the right words are hard to find, but what matters most is the meaning they convey, I think. If this is the same person who helped you make the lilies bloom, then they're very lucky to have you.
You should come by sometime! I heard there was a communal garden, and I was gonna check that out. We could make it a whole thing. c:
no subject
wait sol?? good to talk to ya again! how have you been holding up?
[ Better than him, he should hope. ]
you can tell me the letter sucked i can take it. shed probably be laughing at me too if she read it
but yeah anytime!! you can show me some more of your green thumb technquies or whatever their called
