[ there are seven of them!!! he just like. lets her see all seven if she wants. is she looking for a specific one this doesn't even occur to rondo she can just read all his private info. ]

Everyone was so sweet... how nice it was to hear from them, too.

[allomantic]

[HELP she was just looking for important info if he has any but if he just gives them all over she'll read them all yeah]

[flameguard]

[ (rondo voice) i give you my lore for free

yay ]

[allomantic]

[it takes her a little while, but after she's read through all of them:]

...I'm glad they were kind to you.

[flameguard]

...I really... I can't describe how much it meant to me to hear from them all. Miss Aerith was the one who told me to start writing letters to Cordelia, weeks ago, you know? I've been doing it since I got here, and I've written a few to people who have left us, too. It's such an important way to feel close to people who are gone.

[ weh. he's as sappy and genuine as always, just happy. ]

We made the connection with Sir Ichiban's letter, as well. Everyone thinks it's probably scripture... let me get my copy.

[ feeling around in his pockets, he produces another piece of paper!

A most melodius voice spoke to us!
(I've made it past four days.)
I could listen to your testaments forever,
(Not you, though I should have from the beginning.)
with a grin spread from ear to ear. ]

[bumping against his shoulder as she reads the scripture.]

...What do you think it means?

[flameguard]

[ animal crossing flowers happily ]

Mm… it really just sounds like scripture, to me. The sort of thing we’d hear on Darksday service. So, maybe something for their god they’re trying to summon… There are apparently more parts out there, though…? Sir Ichiban worked really hard.

[allomantic]

[giving a nod.]

If you hear more about it, will you tell me?

[flameguard]

Of course! Anything that I learn, I'll bring to you, Vin.

[ you can have his lore and also his info for free ] You're way better than me at this kind of stuff, anyway.

[allomantic]

[blinks]

Better at what?

[flameguard]

...thinking in general...? You're much smarter than I am...

[ and less impulsive. And a good leader. ]

[allomantic]

Oh, come now. That's not true.

[Calm down. He's just being kind.]

[flameguard]

[ well, listen ]


I mean, last week I almost jumped off of a cliff to find evidence, so....

[allomantic]

[long pause]

We all have moments...

[flameguard]

[ ...I think most of my life is a moment. ]

...thank you, Vin. But - I think... we make a good team. Maybe more than anything. And I like having your input on things, anyway... you always help me consider things in a different light.

[allomantic]

Ah, well... Thank you. I'm here to help, so...

[flameguard]

Instead of "we all depend on you", it's more that... we are all allies and comrades in the same goals - helping each other.

[ he's the one to give a little nudge this time, smile warming up. ]

There is no pressure. Only that we bolster each other's strengths and weaknesses, right? As a team.

[allomantic]

[You said leader, though.]

—Ignore that. I appreciate it, really.

[flameguard]

[ FROWNING!!! ]

Vin...

[allomantic]

I'd prefer not to talk about this further, but - thank you. Truly.

[flameguard]

...If you say so.

[ droopy sad puppy ears... ]

At... at any rate. I'm going to write back to those who wrote to me... I'll try to avoid using names, as well. Should I sign mine as Flameguard, or, will that be too obvious...?

[allomantic]

It might be too obvious. [...] Do you think Maycomb Blume is Aerith?

[flameguard]

[ Flame...guard. Guardian of the Flame...? Maybe 'young master Ravus'.... it's not like I'm attached... no that's too obvious...

anyway: the name!! ]

...Oh! Almost certainly. It sounds just like her, doesn't it?

[allomantic]

Perhaps just an initial.

[but she nods before handing him her letters]

[flameguard]

[ the first note makes him look... a little confused? head tilting. ...Nona...?

the second - of course, gets a smile, and the last... ]

... Arms... Caelus sent me something about body parts, too....
