For what little it might be worth, you shall never be a disappointment to me. How could you, when you are one of the bravest souls that I have had the pleasure of meeting? And what is more, not only are you brave, but you are kind and good and more than I could have ever hoped for. All the gods that are known to exist have surely blessed me, and you are more than I deserve. [ All of that to say that if her family sees her as a disappointment, in his eyes, she is anything but.

[ Ishgard is not exactly centrally located, and while he does not know where K'thisru intends to settle down, if either sister expressed an interest in moving closer to each other, he would certainly oblige.

You are the most beautiful, if there was ever any doubt.
