It was a peaceful day, and not much was going on. On days like this they were usually spent wisely by doing some training, helping out at the Mathis Clinic, or even on some chores around the Lodge. But with her condition, it wasn't possible at all; to follow what her heart yearned to do what her body remembers-such things weren't reachable anymore. However, the teen was thankful that she could still at least walk.
The motions of her arms and hands came to a slow halt, as one fell to the aspyrix attached to her thigh. The look in her eyes showed one of sorrow, as she bit down her bottom lip. Closing, as she recalled the day the medical student handed the item into her hands.
Sitting in a wheelchair, with one of the children Leia had come to befriend before her joining Jude and company and abandoning her responsibilities at the lodge. They waited at the Seahaven after Leia had received a message from a Sylphjay. One written by a left-handed man, and all that contained in it was a formally written letter:
Hey, Spunky. If you're reading this now, I guess
that means you really are okay, just as Jude said.
Everything is done and settled, and the Honor
Student is headed your way right now. Everyone
parted ways, and I'm leaving for Elympios after me
eting with Yurgen and discussing about our plans
as business partners.
Speaking of the honor student, I sent him your
way with a souvenir. Tell him I said "hi" when you
see him.
Yours Truly,
Alfred Vint Svent
I'm Sorry.
It didn't take much for her to figure that the mercenary (or rather, ex-mercenary) had to gather a lot of courage to write this for her. After everything that had happened; and yet, rather than writing a response, Leia was overtaken by negative emotions. Crumpling the letter, tears were shed as she sat in her room. When she looked back to how she acted, it was pathetic, however, no matter what, Leia could never bring herself to write a reply. A ship docked at the port, as several people would walk out. Green eyes widen upon seeing a familiar figure in the distance. Still wearing the same outfit he had on his back since she last saw him. Leia smiled, as the child who attended her would cheerfully call out to the medical student. As he gradually shortened the distance between them, she noticed a familiar looking suitcase carried underneath his arm. The same as the one in which the two had found Milla's aspyrix within. " So...that's the souvenir he was talking about... "
Leia shook her head as the smile returned to her lips. There's no reason to feel this way now and the teen believed that the older brunet didn't deserve it either. Months of rehabilitation, gave her enough time to come in terms with her feelings. Enough to forgive the other for his actions, and she wanted to tell him. However not through letters, but in person. "Alot of time has passed since then... I wonder...how everyone is doing now...?"
