Letters from the Colonial War

Chapter Text

Masude - my pining beloved,

 

Do not worry, we have not yet passed into the Sea of Shadows.  As I write this we recently departed from our final stop before the crossing, at Sunda Mizu.  The Crab agreed to provide our fleet ample jade, on the agreement we did not purchase other weapons or stay the night in their bay.

 

The Yasuki can be quite rude abd forward.  Seeing them openly haggling like hiemin was a bit sickening, but I understand their importance.  It still disgusts me.  At least there cities are clean.

 

I am saddened to hear what happened to you at the Temple.  These endless bickerings tear at my soul.  We are truly drifting so far as a Family.

 

I hear Akiho-san's husband is likewise a stricken with loneliness.  She told me he sends you missives daily, to the point the Bat Embassy wrote to her to ask him to relax.  You should seek his company, as he dearly needs it.

 

Finally, I have procured a gift of sort for you while in Sunda Mizu.  Expect a member of the Barefoot Brethren in the coming weeks.

 

With earnest love and a lonely bed, 

Shimiko.
