letters from the academy

Dear Heut,

I have no idea when or where this will find you. Thank you for your last letter the picture made me laugh quite a bit. I dare say you take to jail time like you did to ella's place altho with a little less flair for the outragious.

Thank you for the ring its a strange feeling to have something fit I still don't think I have grown in to Harricks ring altho I can barley fit it over the glove now which makes me wonder just when I will stop growing. I'm already making payment on a second full dress uniform i'm getting too fat for the ones sirrus purchesed.

Tavin is here as i'm sure you well know, I spent so long plotting the words I would say to him. How much I hated him. You lectured me on it once about how family is so important and I think I may have said some things I had no right to. You were correct you never know what you will face around the next corner. I have included a picture of Tavin and I working on a languages project. He's really rather intellegent altho dispite a few facial features we are nothing alike.

It's heartning, I always saw my father in such brilliant light but Tavin who he raised has turned out so meek and so afraid I wonder if its only time which has made my father to be so much more than what I remembered. I haven't had the heart to tell him yet, I don't think I will. I have spent a hundred nights since harrick told me of him laying in bed thinking of all the many ways I would make him beg to live, for a life I thought he owed me. I'm to dramatic... Victoria would say it proves I was born to be Mo'i'ro I think it just makes me a stupid man some times.

My classes are fine, altho i excell in the physical studies I'm having some trouble in math and sciences. I feel very far behind, Languages I am at the top of my classes as far as spoken, But Tavin is still tutoring me on how to write these things called Essays. Perhaps I should have paid more attention to Novus and Sirrus.

I have made a true friend he bandaged me up after I foolishly tried to climb up to the second level and slit my wrist open. He actually asked me which way I prefered to have the wound mended. His name is Bastian He is a senior med officer here rather a strange man. Hes got a good number of piercings all over his face for nothing more than decoration and as he claims... bordem. He also has some of the most beautiful tattos i have ever seen. near as I can tell they cover nearly his entire body save his hands and face i have sent a photo he allowed me to take of his forarms with the flames. I think of all they are my favorite.

He mentions something of covering the starr crest on my belly which I have much desire to rid myself of now and was extrodinarly amused by the word you ground in to me. I have very much enjoyed talking to him. I hope one day I might introduce you two. He is also one of the few friends I have here i can be honest with. I think between you, victoria and harrick i became unappreciative of true friendship or spoiled by the abundance of it. Now that It is so scarce I realize i have been blessed.

I do not expect you to come and visit, Aro doesn't trust you... or I as far as he can throw us. .... I take that back he trusts us less. He's a miserable man who seems to delight only in the tyrany he carries on here. But I suppose everyman needs his own castle.

I would be lieing if I said I didn't miss you, The holidays are upon us soon, and only a few of us will be staying. Perhaps a video relay could be set up. If you perhaps get a chance send me a bottle of wine from... somewhere. I miss good food, and I won't even regail the horrid slop they consider sustinance.

Please take care and stay alive till next we write,

~ Jameus du son Jaines

ps. What does Mo'i'ro say about the winner if you only knock him uncontious. does that still make you right?

* included in the folds of the letter are two photographs one is of Tavin and Jamie in the library under one of the small desk lamps tavin pointing out something and jamie taking furious notes nearly dwarfing the man to his side. The second is a photo of bastians forarms with the flames licking up the sides.
