A letter sent moons ago:
H,
I arrived not but a sun ago and you might not guess where. Ishgard, accursed Ishgard! has begun to accept outsiders and among those who might have come her way is a girl and her brother. Would that it were us - I think you might enjoy it here. The wind is strong and the sky is wide. From a distance it doesn't look like much but when I am here, looking down across everything, I am reminded of home.
Thus far I have only been subject to a few stares. I even met a gentleman in one of the local inns: a Dragoon, in fact! Dressed so plainly, I wouldn't have guessed. Even they must take time for themselves. A lesson I ought learn, as I am so regularly reminded by my companion here. It seems the simplest thing in the world and in all honesty it should be, given that the alternative is wandering through the bitter cold with snow up to my knees at times. A hearth and a book ought be more enticing and I have no shortage of books.
I won't bore you with the details. It can't be expected that you even read these. Yet if it ever were to occur to you that you might want to see this place, you need only send word. Given time, I could arrange transport for you. Have you ever ridden an airship? There is a place here where they build them, toiling day and night to produce the most unlikely of vehicles. Apparently they even fly but I have not had the nerve nor the funds to test it out myself. The ones from the city-states are fairly safe, however, and much faster than by land. A ticket here and back would be no trouble at all.
Any word at all would put me at ease. It has been years, and even the ones I work with - ones I will remind you I have worked against in nearly every instance! - have come to put some faith in me. I hope some day you might do the same, even if it is to bid me silent. If you have no more need of money then I will find other use, I promise you. I'm not being paid for my current work and there are only so many side jobs I can take. You ought to know I am more than capable of forcing the issue. It's what I do.
Regardless, know that you have my love. Maybe I will see you soon. I pray you will think on it and let me know.
