Dear Pip-Squeak,
Yup, another letter. It's been awhile so I'd thought I'd share a little more being the great guy that I am.
It's been about a month since Tenrou and things are finally calming down. It's too calm if ya ask me.
No-one asks where you are anymore. Sure you've been on vacation for about a month but you'd think people would ask when you're coming back. When are you coming back anyway? You need to write back sometime cause I find it hard to believe there's no paper or pens where you're at.
Jet and Droy have gotten a lot stronger, strong enough for me to even say it and not cringe that much. Speedster's able to slow down other people and speed up his arms and legs now, making him a tornado of physical strikes. Plant-boy is able to create his own wooden armor. It's not as good as Iron or Steel but it does the job as long as he's not fighting a fire wizard... I'm pretty sure he still has a few burn marks from that one encounter, but he's fine.
Bunny-girl has basically shoved her story onto me asking me to read it and give her feedback. I ain't no reader and I keep telling her that. But the way her eyes become misty whenever I decline bothers me, so I read em anyway. If not, Salamander would be on my back about making Bunny-girl sad. Plus if I made her sad, you'd never let it down would ya. Her story's fine I guess, she has to help me on some of the words but I'm getting better with em.
Tell anyone that I have trouble with reading words and I'll deny it until the day I die.
Gramps came up to me yesterday. Said he had forgiven me for what I had done while I was still in Phantom Lord. The thought's nice and all but I don't need his forgiveness. It doesn't remove what I've done from my mind. The image of you nailed to that tree still comes back from time to time.
But you still forgave me. Whenever those two were venting out their anger by attacking me, you didn't. You even tried to stand up to that lightning rod, it didn't work out of course, but you still tried.
Lily's been pretty good. Damn cat's tougher then all hell, 'cept when there's a thunderstorm. But Juvia usually comes over and cuddles with him and it calms him down. Better hurry back cause your duty as Lily's comforter will be gone, heh.
I'm able to do missions again so that's great. Got to beat up a dark wizard guild on my own, seemed that I had a lot to vent. I heard some people in town say the idiots are afraid of metal now.
That's all for this one, once I send this out I'm on my way to Clover to take down some bandits.
Hurry on home pip-squeak.
