drop letters

[maidmalapert]

When Eclipse comes back from hiatus, Jill will be having him deliver letters and candles to call on to her friends! Candles go to Amethyst, Edmund, Steve, Natasha, Roxas, Tavros and Allison. Roxas, Tavros and Allison all get a note that says simply, "I'm off on a quest but I'd love it if you'd call - Jill."

The rest of the letters are as follows:

Dear Night,

I'm dreadfully sorry I can't be there to welcome you back. I'll miss you and Amethyst very much, but I couldn't think of any other way to make sure you'd be all right. Now I know a bit how Haruki must have felt. Take care of yourself and the others and don't beat yourself up too much, will you? Be brave.

Love, Jill

Dear Mimori,

Sorry we didn't have a chance to get to know each other. Amethyst is a great team, honest, though I'm sure things were a little mad when you came in. Take care of yourself! We've got your back. Me too, though I can't stay right now. But we'll meet again.

Sincerely, Jill

Dear Eclipse,

I already said everything to you, but it seemed unfair that everyone else had something they could hold onto if they wanted, so I'm writing it down, too.

I'm sorry I couldn't come back with you. I don't know what I'm going to do without you. It's made such a difference to me, having you on the team... I really do feel like you're my brother. You keep me steady. Make sure you get a hand keeping yourself steady while I'm gone if you need it. Don't you dare forget. And... well, there's not much else to say, I suppose.

With love from the bottom of my heart, Jill

Dear Lyra,

Remember we're unstoppable. How glad I am we could become such good friends! Take care of Amethyst for me, all right? I know you can. Resort to limericks if you've got to. Sorry I can't be there for now.

Love, Jill

PS - You'll still paint my nails when I come back, won't you?

Dear Luna,

I'm really, really, really, really, really, really, really, really sorry. I didn't want to leave. I promise I'll come back when I can. I promise.

Love, Jill

***

Dear Corvus,

It was nice meeting you. Sorry things were so all over the place first thing. I've got some things to take care of, but I know you'll be all right. See you later! Keep an eye on everyone for me.

Sincerely, Jill

Dear Sunset,

Keep being amazing. Sorry I have to go. I'll be back, really! I know you'll help keep Amethyst in one piece... and I look forward to seeing you again.

Love, Jill

Dear Edmund,

I'm off in Dream's place for awhile. I couldn't help it. Someone had to stay behind to make sure things would go all right for Night, and Eclipse is still working on memories, so it had to be me. Don't be Sorry I didn't want to leave. I hope you don't regret being my king now that I've run off... I hope you don't really think of it like running off. But I feel like I couldn't possibly be true to my vows if I hadn't done this. I hope you think I've done right.

I'll miss you loads. Give Trout and Peridan a pat for me, and give Steve a hug. I feel dreadful going off when he's only just got back.

Love always, Your Knight, Jill

Dear Steve,

I'm off with Dream for a bit, but I'll be back as soon as ever I can. Thanks ever so much for the lovely picture. Sorry I have to run off when you've just got back... I really feel awful about it. I wish I at least could've said so long. But I've got to do this, for my team.

Look after Edmund for me, will you? Only don't tell him I said so. You can give him a hug and say it's from me, though... I'd like it if you did. I know I can count on you. Take good, good care of yourself.

Love, Jill

Dear Natasha,

I've gone off with Dream for a bit to make sure Night will be all right. I promise I'll keep training all I can while I'm gone, and I'll be back as soon as I can, so please don't think I'm a slacker. You'll help keep an eye on Amethyst, won't you, especially Luna?

Thanks in advance... and thanks for being such a lovely teacher.

Sincerely, Jill
