Mother -
I apologize again for not paying you a visit, but Evfra has finally agreed to a meeting between the Pathfinder and the Moshae. We are heading to Voeld. I think more may come from this trip than an exchange of information - did you know there are Remnant structures on Voeld? That may mean a vault, which may mean oceans. Oceans on Voeld again! To swim with the yevara - to sail beneath clear skies - to watch the accursed bases of the kett sink into the sea - such possibilities! The treasures locked in the ice, free again. Our enslaved brothers and sisters, home again.
Am I hoping for too much? Evfra's consent was reluctant; he still does not trust these aliens, or their Pathfinder, but he was always a cautious one. I am starting to think I understand them, though there are always surprises. Did you know that the Ryders are twins? And it seems they are rather young by human standards! Nettie does seem young, it's true, but not her sister. Now I have to wonder whether the difference is natural or due to their positions.
I admit, I assumed - quite wrongly, it seems - that the Pathfinder was, like Evfra, an older, experienced leader. Instead I find she is young and new in her position. Perhaps what I saw as coolness and distance was merely discomfort and uncertainty. I begin to hope that once she feels safer with me, less pressured, she will become more open. I would like to know her better. And I think, now, that she is genuinely interested in getting to know me better, which is very flattering. Such a nice feeling. Dangerous, but still nice!

A renewed Voeld! Even more unthinkable than a renewed Havarl! Surely that would begin to convince the Roekaar that their hostility is misplaced. Akksul's words will become less persuasive when people can see for themselves the good the Pathfinder is doing. I only wish you could have come home yourself to counter his voice in some of the younger ears.
Visit us soon. We are all eager to hear you tell us of your adventures in person!
