[Joshua's response is on very feminine parchment and the language is in the more calligraphic version of their native language. Each character is precise and neat, despite the fact that his dominant hand is currently silver halfway up his arm to his shoulder. Thank God for telekinesis.
It must be said. Jason grounding Hiro is perhaps the kindest thing that could have happened. After all, if it had been Joshua? He wouldn't have grounded Hiro. That's being kind about the transgression. He would've made life hell for him.
As is being evidenced in this letter.
Also, when Hiro opens the envelope, the entire inside is full of glitter and will explode on him. The parchment also has a heavy, rosy fragrance to it.]
Dearest, Darlingest Hiro,
I'm as dead as I was on arriving in the Drabwurld. My shard is perfectly intact. Even better, actually, as I recently gained tutelage in activating it. Naturally, the major downside has been the silver sickness currently plaguing our ranks. I myself have not been spared from it, most regrettably.
Also, are you truly in a position to tell someone else not to do something? (⌒▽⌒)☆ [Yes, he did just doodle that.] Out of the utmost respect and affection I hold for you, I will not contact him.
Yet. ( ´∀｀)ノ～ ♥
If your heart was so easy to program, many things in life would become simpler. Less complex, more orderly, less emotional and more rational. But the heart isn't a thing that can be stopped from feeling so easily. You've had a lot happen to you in a very short time and it's only natural that you feel confusion and some helplessness over your future (even if you brought that on yourself). You're still reeling emotionally and that won't help you in sorting everything out. My suggestion is to do something for yourself that won't harm anyone. Something purely for fun until you can clear the immediate entanglement of emotions so that you can look at everything with a sharper image, a fresh pair of eyes.
Or just stew in your own emotional mire. Whichever you prefer, really. ┐(︶▽︶)┌
In fondest and deeply disappointed regards to your grounding: are you expecting me to be surprised? If you are, then I hope you know that I'm deeply offended and wounded. (￢_￢) However, it keeps you off the field of battle, and as such I should express my utmost joy that you are (somewhat) safe. ☆*:.｡.o(≧▽≦)o.｡.:*☆
Remember that mistakes can be learned from, if you wish to do so. The past is set in stone, but your future can change. Learn from your past or else you'll fall like Rome. Or perhaps Pompeii would be more appropriate. As an aside, please don't get yourself blown up or have a death by suffocation from ash experience, Hiro. It would cause me deep pain and sorrow. 。゜゜(´Ｏ｀)°゜。
Oh thank the STARS you told him by now and my heartfelt congratulations on gaining a partner! ヽ(>∀<☆)ノ As for keeping people safe...that's impossible, frankly. This is war. It means making tough decisions, and those decisions may impact the side the love of your life is fighting for. However, if you talk to him about what you did and he still has it in his heart to forgive you for those terrible things, then I believe your relationship will survive. Just remember to be cautious, Romeo, else fair Juliet will find herself mourning while someone else reaps the rewards of turning you in.
That is the nature of war. To be perfectly frank, there is no right answer, not now. Is neutrality the best option? Is one side or the other the true answer? Or are there other factors at work that we can't comprehend at the moment? Only you, Hiro, can find the answers to these questions, for they'll always change from person to person. Debate each argument, see each side of it, and gain truth from challenging your ideals and beliefs instead of running from someone who challenges them.
Even superheroes are faced with tough questions. It does not make them less heroic, but it does make them more human, more approachable. Someone people can relate to in some way instead of someone to put on a pedestal like some kind of god.
I'm flattered that you think so highly of me that you would lay all your woes on my table without fear of ridicule. (っ˘ω˘ς ) It eases an old soul such as mine.
In all seriousness, if you still trust me after all of this, then know that I do cherish it. After all, it's the driving force in my world, the most important thing to making people better than what they are. Not all problems can be solved by a single person or else we would never need friends and family throughout the rest of our lives. It's only by letting strangers in that we can find new ways to be ourselves.
If you're talking to people you can't see and it wasn't in the Drabwurld, then I would suggest you go find a therapist posthaste. (￣ ￣|||)
To reiterate: yes, I'm still alive and I hope you're still extremely happy for such a thing. ♥＼(￣▽￣)／♥
I do so look forward to our next visit.
With fondest wishes for your continued good health and general well-being, Y.J.K.
PS: Perhaps next time you shouldn't divulge important information two months later, hm? ( ￣ω￣)ノﾞ⌒☆ﾐ(o _ _)o
