I'll have to send my thanks in any way that I can, since you've accepted to be my dance partner, Dion. I couldn't be happier to hear it.
[Goodness, it's embarrassing to even write that... But it's the truth. And even if they are writing on these devices- letters should be truthful.]
As far as our situation goes regarding our priming and the like? There are a few things you aren't alone in. I know it isn't uncommon for us to be afflicted with the curse and as you are, so am I. Although I've gotten used to using my healing magic to keep most of the worst aches and pains at bay. That is, for the most part. If you would amicable to the idea I would be happy to try and ease any aches you might be feeling with my magic. It certainly isn't a cure but temporary relief can be useful.
This brings me to my other point once again regarding Cid's invitation to join his crew. While you might not feel as though you fit in as a puzzle piece would fit into the slot I believe that you most certainly would. For far too long have we all been separated by a world that wished us to be divided. I find the chance for us to work together and be together to be important... Or so, it would be important to me.
Clive may have his habits and be as stony as an unmoving wall but I know he would welcome you with open arms. Just as he did when you came to us in the hideaway, he would be happy to have your trusted aid. Jill too, I'm sure she finds company welcome, as sweet as she is always. And please do not forget how fond Mid is of you. Try to think of the angry unending messages she may send you should you decline the invitation.
[Yes, that is a threat.]
Dion, I hope you don't find my words terribly out of place. But I do find Cid's invitation to be a suitable one. Not only do I trust his judgment of character but I trust my own. You may find yourself displaced in your own thoughts and place in this world and our own but I have always seen you as a light in the darkness, one that places his whole heart in the place that it needs to be. And in this case, I believe you can make the most difference with our circumstances, with us.
And with me. I still mean it, with all my heart and soul, that I wish for you to be there while I search this world for a solution to dissolving Ultima from my body. It would be a comfort knowing you are there. And a comfort knowing I can speak with you and to spend time with you. To make the most of these moments... Is what I think we both need.
I will still leave this decision up to you. But please know that I think you belong with us.
You are my cherished friend. I would not have sought you out as often as I have if I did not think so. Please. Consider it.
I'm very glad to hear that you are happy with my praise, for you earned it and so you should be. I'll keep my eyes and ears open should there be another opportunity to meet for a dance. I don't mean that in a clandestine way, simply looking for an opportunity. Certainly there will be another feast of sorts again.
I would take you up on that, but only if it would not tax your magic. Injuring yourself to ease my pain just leads you to be in the same position and merely transferring the discomfort from one to the other. I am quite used to handling it, should you not truly be able to. You need not worry. There has been no progression since my arrival, so that is a fortunate thing.
It is true, I can honestly I know people more by reputation than anything. I expect they know the same of me. We all share a similar circumstance, and I appreciate the opportunity to get to know people.
I could not turn down such an invitation if it is important to you. You need not threaten me. I am heartened to know that you wish for my company, and I certainly would not deny you that if that is what you wanted.
You have my halberd, and my hand in your search Joshua. Never think otherwise, please.
I believe you might be right. Time together to relax a bit, perhaps to seek some enjoyment would be something I cherish. You are by far my closest friend here. Our time apart was unfortunate, but I was more than relieved to see that you were still alive. I'd had no idea, but I am glad all the same and I would like nothing more than to see you happy.
So, if your happiness is what I wish, and my presence would make you happy, I could hardly deny you. So I shan't. I will inform Cid that I accept, and when things are prepared I look forward to seeing you again much more often.
