Dearest Elysia,

I miss you so much.  I miss your smile, your endless energy, your laugh, your cuteness... everything about you.  But most of all, I miss you.  Photographs are wonderful, but they're no replacement.

I promise, when I return home - which I will, presumed dead or not - I'll bring you and Gracia out of

Bah, Fathers Day.

...I'm sure she's fine. I'm sure she's celebrating you right now.

[maespride4ever]

I know. I just miss her so much...

[coldheartflame]

Of course you do! She's your daughter, right? So you'll just... make it up to her when you get back... Because... you're her father.

[maespride4ever]

You're right.

[halfa_clone]

You sound like a good father, Mister Hughes. I'm sure she misses you.

[maespride4ever]

Thanks. I'm sure she does too.

[halfa_clone]

Happy Father's Day for her then! I'm sure she'd want to say it herself.

[maespride4ever]

Thank you.

You'll find your way back, I know it. I know Elysia's probably making you a card this year anyway. She's a sweet kid.

Where do you plan to go when you return?

[maespride4ever]

I know, isn't she the sweetest little angel? I just miss her so much.

I'm not sure about that, actually, though I'm leaning toward somewhere out East.

[steelsoul_al]

East, huh. Well, if you have to pass through Risembool, just look up the old woman named Pinako and tell her I sent you. She'll help out, I'm sure. Though she's a pain in the ass sometimes...

[maespride4ever]

I'll be sure to.
