SINCERELY, ME / private, caesar

[madster]

"oh, fuck off," the bird grumbled, being just as sentient as caesar or henri, which raised the ethical dilemma of an animal keeping another animal as a pet. still, henri wasn't an ethical person, so he didn't care he was basically enslaving his food. the bird took off, flying through the ship before returning to henri a day later.

henri was surprised caesar actually wrote back, as he was awoken by the bird perching on his body. he felt the paper, enjoying the feeling of the ink and paper on his paws- this was caesar's writing, caesar's heart poured on this paper. after he was done molesting the letter, he handed it to the crow to read out loud as he got comfortable in his cabin. there was a wedding? huh. henri had believed the typhooners were all loveless creatures, but apparently they liked to get married. caesar was curious with atbash, and henri liked being this double agent. to her face, he'd tell atbash how proud of her he was, how much of a great leader she was... but his loyalty belonged to caesar, of course. henri let out a shaky breath as he was told caesar wanted him to come visit. "alright, let's respond," henri said, and jimmy got to work.

dear officer caesar,

thank you so much for writing me back! a wedding, huh? i've never been to one. was it fun? i don't think i'd enjoy a wedding very much, they're very... visual. a lot of the times i like to think that my eyes are a gift from belial, but... a lot of the times i feel like i'm a burden. if i ever got married, i wouldn't even want a wedding, i think. anyways! atbash is an alright leader, to be honest. she's really concerned with the well-being of her clanmates, even when it's their fault they get hurt. to be honest... i wish there was a war between snowbound and the typhoon. the whole peace treaty thing was dumb- i don't really have any real investment in politics, i just want to hear stupid people throw themselves at each other! i think the typhoon would win, though. my clan's chock full' of idiots. is the typhoon like that too?

i'd love to come visit, but y'know... the whole blind thing, so it would take me forever. plus, i'm a snowbounder- i'm an enemy. i personally don't think that matters, but you know how clans can be with that kind of thing. but my want to see you overrides my fears of being found out. we'd just have to plan it a little bit. any ideas?

yours, henri

then the bird was off, back to caesar yet another day. this time, he came at night. "hey, mister caesar, i got a letter from henri," he announced this time, dropping off the letter once again.
