Again Chion reads Benjamin's letter, biting the inside of his cheek though not hard enough to wound it. Another habit his younger siblings tried to make him break. He could hear them downstairs laughing and running about, with their maid trying to quiet them. Miss. Shippen stated that Cercei and Seren were well and fine, that she did not need to do so.

Just as he was ready to put pen to paper, his eyes closed in frustration hearing a knock sound. "…Come in." 'Again' is muttered sarcastically under his breath. Can't a man have a moment to write without interruption? Be it his own thoughts or another's.

Indeed, it was Miss. Shippen herself. Her hair done up, blond and an elegant braid slung over her shoulder. Wearing a gown of silver and blue. "I wanted to let you know, dinner's ready," she smiled. Walking with all the grace she naturally held. "Arnold's telling of his grand achievements again to your siblings." She raised her eyes upward.

A laugh escaped from Chion, grinning faint. Dark circles were heavy, like a raccoon almost. But he was still in good spirits, knowing his friends would be arriving shortly. "Thank you, Miss. Shippen, I'll be down in a minute."

"Oh, call me Peggy please. Miss. Shippen makes me sound like my mother," she laughed without humor. There was a riff he had heard but avoided gossip like the plague.

"Peggy, then. Alright, I'm anything but flexible." he smiled, making certain he kept some of his notes and letters tucked away from prying eyes. Offering his arm, he blinked at the look upon her face. As if trying to keep something secret. "What are you trying so hard, not to smile at?" he questioned. Eyebrow raised.

"Oh…nothing. Nothing at all. Daydreaming, you know."

"…No surprises please," he groaned. Knowing it was his birthday, October 31'st.

"What? Everyone deserves a nice party! Stop being so sour Chion. Besides, you'll like who's here to celebrate."

His eyes are deadpanned, shaking his head. Of course she was behind it. Women are clever like that, scary clever.

To my esteemed friend,

Now that IS something! Who would've thought Brewster of all, could have excellent hand writing? As for the General…I cannot say for certain. I've had this feeling late, that something is off. I'm sure you know what I mean. But, I have hope that all will be well in the end. Maybe it's something I have eaten that's given me these worries.

I thank you for keeping an eye on Visare, finally came up with a name for the little fellow of hers: What do you think of Cea? It's Romanian for Brightest Star. I've a fascination for our vast galaxies and stories of the night skies. Not sure I believe 'em of course…

It feels like Autumn is just around the corner, how I miss celebrating Hallow's Eve back home. Perhaps we could have a Gala at some point…though it'll take convincing, many up tight folks around here when it comes to that day.

Well, I see sleep in my future, I should rest. Margaret Shippen keeps teasing me as to whom I write too all this time here, I wonder…does she…know…no. No certainly she does not know. Rest assured, my secret is mine alone major.

My aunt passed tonight. It's strange...I feel I should cry, but for some reason I can't. It's difficult to process right now, I guess. She was a kind, beautiful woman. Knew how to laugh and joke. A true godly woman. She was quick up until. Please pray for my family. +

and be sure to spend time with your loved ones, whenever you can.

{{Some of the doctors in my area are a joke. They didn't know my aunt had brain cancer until the last minute....now we're losing her. Prayers are needed for my family and I.

Sorry, I know there are wonderful doctors out there, but the healthcare system is a joke sometimes.

My muse is woken up from a particularly vivid and terrifying nightmare. Send “shh, you’re okay.” to calm and comfort them.

Send ‘It’s okay. You’re okay.’ for the reverse for your muse waking up from a particularly vivid and terrifying nightmare. And for my muse to comfort your muse.

“ get it through your head, i’m not gonna just leave you here! “

“ now’s not the time to play the martyr, got it? you’ve got a good long life ahead of you, and i intend to keep it that way. “

“ you need to go now, okay? don’t worry. i’ve got this. they’ll want to be trying a lot harder if they want to keep me from protecting you. “

“ don’t worry about me; are YOU okay? “

“ damnit, [NAME]! i TOLD you not to play the hero! “

“ i can look after myself, you know. but… i do appreciate you stepping in back there. you saved my life. “

To my esteemed friend and greatest confident, You should rejoice to hear that nothing that could be deemed a disaster has happened yet here in West Point. All is going as it should. I arrived here of yesterday morning, although...suppose I should note that we had a bit of an issue with Rebel's. You'd be surprised Ben, how many people do not care for Arnold. Ah well, goes to show that even those high in rank are not safe.

I apologize if my hand writing is sloppy, it's been some time since I have written to anyone.

Do hope you and the others are safe! My first day officially begins today, a little nervous I must admit to you and only to you. How is Visare and her colt faring? Still have no name for the fellow….

Your friend, Chion Cauthins.

PS: I seem to have forgotten my journal, do NOT let anyone read that thing! Heaven forbid Brewster.

[parvaavem]
