Dear Father,

First let me begin this with a rather simple request; breathe. There, isn't that better? I imagine you are rather concerned and more than a bit irritated right now. Pyxis took a moment to catch Maisie and I up to speed with what our dear Leo has managed to do in the few months he was in school. I must admit I was caught a tiny bit off guard, but we are ready to accept responsibility for him. The three of us will be keeping a close eye on Leo and his flavor of the month. If there are any problems we will handle them promptly. Please assure Cassie, Sirius, Grandmother, Grandfather, Remus, and Dora that he will be in good hands.

Now, I imagine it must be a bit worrisome to allow the youngest to leave home so soon. Leo is quite gifted at many things, but I am not quite ready to allow him to run amok in my city without keeping him on a bit of a leash. We'll be discreet, but I promise that he will be protected.

You and Cassie have an open invitation to visit any time you wish. I am sure that Andromeda will tell you the same. In fact, I am willing to bet Leo himself will extend the invitation the moment he is positive you will not drown the flavor of the week in the lake outside his villa. Father, he is a stubborn boy who is determined to make his mark on this glorious world that excites him. Perhaps he will fall and scrape his knee a bit, but those marks will heal. He'll be better for it. If he isn't ready to be on his own, I will simply bring him back to you and help you guard him in that tower until he's older.

If you need anything please don't hesitate to owl or merely drop in. It's been too long since I last saw you. He loves you, and he is already feeling the weight of his choices. Give him a bit to fully appreciate what it means to be a man before you rush to kiss those marks off his knee won't you? Give everyone my love.

Love,

Capella
