Renize,

I am glad you wrote me. I am stationed in the countryside, yes. This post does
not see much action. I see it as a test of my perserverance. I am still green as
far as the Empire is concerned, but I will prove myself. Your letter has dismayed
me. Why do things that happened when we were mere kits still matter so much to
you? I was a child. You were a child. From what I have read, you are still a
child. You should be grateful for the trials I put you through, for at least it
has made you a willful child. I hope you will find your path to greatness. You
still have time to make our mother and father proud. Perhaps one day you may even
stand tall as a citizen of the Empire.

Your brother,
Rashaze


Littlest sister,

As the only other one of my siblings who purposefully went out into the world
intending to disappoint Mother and Father, all I can say is I'm surprised you don't
know the answer to your question already. BE YOURSELF. You're always, always
going to miss the mark with someone, but if you let that stop you from being true
to who you are, you've already accepted failure. That doesn't sound like you at
all.

Love from your runaway ranger brother,
Thavis Vixe


Baby sister!

Efthairre passed your letter along to me and said I should write back because her
kits are a pawful and mine are better behaved! First of all, congratulations on
your engagement! I never got the chance to meet your fiance when he was on patrol
in Seantryn, but he did have a good reputation, so I'm sure you've done well for
yourself. Now, moving on to your question about wedding vows. There's an art to
it, which we both know is YOUR THING, so the best advice I can give you is to let
them reflect who you are and what you promise to him. For example, Efthairre wrote
hers about family and future and dedication because all along she's dreamed of
being a mom. We BOTH married for love (don't let Mother or Father ever convince
you it was for business--that was just a perk they happened to win into) but what I
wanted back then was different. My vows were all about steamy passion and endless
nights. So, you could go a lot of different ways with them. It got me thinking
about what matters to you. You're all about your enamel work, for example, you
could always metaphor about that. Anyway, I've got to end this note here. The
kits want to go look at seabirds on the docks.

I love you little Rennie,

Myriff
