I wonder what Mother and Dad are doing tonight?

[pause]

I know I shouldn't.

Anton! I talked to the man who owns the junk shop and he said he could use some help but most of the time only in the evenings when more people aren't working because then he has more customers though there are times like around some holidays when he might need me more. I said I would talk to you before telling him yes or no but I think that would be really good because then I could still go out and dance during the day and then do this at night and I bet I would make a lot of money!

Wow. I went to the junk shop again and it's really empty right now. The owner says it's always like that right after the Festival but that it's going to start getting filled up again soon because he said that a lot of people will come to sell gifts that they got but don't like. I think that's pretty sad. I would never do anything like that to something that people gave me.

Happy Festival everyone!!!

Is everyone okay?? It's hard to tell from just reading and I haven't seen all of you again yet.

It's not fair. It's just not fair. Why do things always have to go wrong for them? Why would the Dragons keep doing that??

Sometimes I wish I could ask and have them actually answer...

I'm really glad that everyone seems to be having a good time on the boat! It sounds like it would be lots of fun to be there. But I'm having fun here too so I'm okay with not being on it.

I was walking in the city the other day and I found this really neat store. I guess it's kind of a junk shop but there was some really interesting stuff in it from all over the place. I didn't have any money with me but if I did I definitely would have liked to buy something from there.

Wow, the Day of Good Harvest, that's what it's called right, was really fun! Maybe not quite as fun as Unification Day but probably that's because I'm not from Hanalan. At least not yet. How long does it take for that to change??

Either way it was really fun and I'm really glad we got to go out into the city and celebrate with everyone else!

I hope everyone will be okay!

I wish there was something we could do to help.

[Filter: Anton]

Is she doing any better???

Anton! We should go see the play! I really want to see everyone!!

[Filter: Anton]

Do you like anything that we've seen yet??

Um...so I was thinking that maybe I would go out into the city today and see if I can make more money. Does anyone want to come with me? I know a lot of people are busy with the play but maybe not all of you are so there might be someone.

I know it's hard [illegible]

Floran is really nice! I think the court is very nice but I like the city better. There's lots of people who like to watch me dance and give me money for it too which is good because we can always use more money since we have so many people.

I'm really glad we're staying here for a long time!!

I'm going to go into town and see if maybe I can get some money from dancing since I think we could use it. Does anyone want to come with me?

Floran is a really nice city, I like it alot!

Uh...do you know what we are going to do when we get to Razen??

Dear Dad...and Mother.

I know I haven't written to you for a very long time. But I didn't know what to say. Everything here is a real mess and I just didn't know what to say about it.

I don't know what Anton told you but he probably said that he was going to get married and have a baby. The baby's been born now and his name is Joshua and he is really, really cute. But we don't know if Anton is really the father and now he's married to Inara and she is just really-

Anton also told me that he wrote saying he wasn't going to write anymore. I don't think I am going to either. I don't even know if I'm going to send this letter to you or just pretend I never wrote it at all.

Sometimes I miss you, but usually I just miss when Anton and I were travelling together without anyone else with us. It was a lot easier then.

I'll come visit, someday.
