Dear Mum,
While the last letter you sent me raised your concern about spreading myself too thin, there is also the problem that without gil, I can't exactly feed myself or house myself. I have taken an apprenticeship at Naldiq and Vymelli's, but the jobs right now are more of a landbound errand boy than actually learning how to bend metal to my whim. That is not really a problem, since I have my hands full at the Arcanists' in between errands. Although they likely brought me on in case bandits attack, since I can defend myself with all the training I've been doing.
Speaking of places to house myself, I'd not imagined it but the housing market in Eorzea is astounding! They recently opened new places near the cities to build houses, and they were sold out in a single day! People are coming here from all over, and they want to stay and help develop this land. It really feels like a brand new world when I think about it.
I've also taken on job training for the XI:7 company, mostly as a bookkeeper and man-at-arms, although looking at the people I've met already, they certainly do not need any of my talents in the latter. They're all very strong so you don't have to worry about me getting involved in any fighting that isn't necessary!
Is big brother doing all right? He hasn't written to me yet. I understand that he is likely busy with the farm but I'd wager even father would want him to write to his little brother. If he writes me, I'll buy him a gift from Ul'dah when next I am there and send it. It won't be an expensive gift, but still, I miss playing and talking with him. Not enough to come back, but certainly enough that I want him to write me next time.
In any case, all is well here and I hope all of you are safe. May the Elements favor the harvest.
Your son,
Kellach.
