Back-dated to October 1st, Locked to Sephiroth
[ Holy crap she's tired.
Adela sighs as her pen marks against paper, her face flushed as she takes in the smell of orange blossom tea, unaware that the very smell is then staining her letter. It's been too long, and so much has happened that... There's a lot to catch up on. ]
Hi Sephiroth,
It's been a while since I've written last. How're you doing? I've been thinking about you, and about last time. I wanna say I'm sorry for thinking that you didn't care. I was wrong to say those things, especially thinking over what you've done for me. Thank you.
A lot has happened since the last time I wrote you, but if you don't want to hear it I won't make you read through it. I just want to hear how you're doing.

Adela,
I'm almost curious to know what brought you to actually realize that you were in error, given your previous insistence that you were completely without fault. I will concede that my life has been eventful, and deigned to open your missive to me.

Sephiroth,
I've been doing a lot of thinking over the past couple of months, over my mistakes and what I need to do from there in order to really improve and become great. Part of it was realizing that I'd mistreated you back then. That, and the reality that we're in a dangerous line of work is starting to really shove itself in my face, so I don't want to live with regrets anymore.

You did make a great many.
I gather you've come to realize that you cannot only live on idealism then.

It just means I have more to learn from.
[ Yeah she's totally sticking her tongue out at the letter while writing it. ]
I'm still going to try and become the great and noble ninja I've always wanted to be. You're still on my list - I do still want to fight against you someday. But that's not my ultimate goal anymore. I have something bigger to strive for now, and I can't doubt myself if I want any chance of making it there.

It'll be something to talk about, an idiot half-blind Hokage. Even if I'm not the first one to do it.

Only people in Konoha are allowed to call him that though.

[ She can sass too. ]
I guess Ami already told you then, if you're not asking.

If you wish me to know you must tell me yourself.

I dunno, from when I talked with her at the hospital it sounded like she was going to say something to you in a letter when she wrote to you next.
I'll be honest with you, then -- someone acted on the rumours about my eyes in the gossip magazine at the start of September. One of my eyes was sliced open. If it weren't for my friends finding me as quickly as they did, I probably would have bled to death back then -- it's actually kind of a miracle that I'm still alive now.
[ From there, the writing is a bit more forced -- indenting the paper and shaky, because even then recalling the night still sends nausea and fear through her. ]
Part of me still can't stop thinking about 'what if I had been more aware' or 'what if I had done something to stop him from knocking me out'. I killed the guy that did it, but he still took something I can never get back. I guess no matter how much I regret what happened, I have no choice but to move on and get stronger.

I'm still learning how to adjust, but I think I'm getting the hang of depth perception again.

[ If only he could see her annoyed expression with that one... ]
I had a partner and it went okay. I just got back and I'm back in the village for a while now so I might see if I can track down sensei or someone to spar.
no subject
What did that peacock want with you?
no subject
I ended up making sure he got home safely from a trip to Konoha once before delivering a message to him. Unfortunately, I wasn't stealthy enough for him to not spot me so he requested me to help him with an internal affair -- and the Hokage inisted that I go to learn how to deal with political situations. It'd have gone smoother if he didn't insist on coming with us though.
At least I don't have to worry about seeing him again for a while.
[ Oh what little she knows... ]
no subject
You should have expected that. Have you not seen what he does on that scroll system so many like to use?
no subject
I've already told him, if he wants to be a ninja so badly he needs training. It's more dangerous than facing enemies to keep him unharmed during escorts because he likes to throw himself into the middle of it.
And before you tell me, shut up. I know I was like that. I was also six.

[ Big sigh. ]
It's good to be back home though. Are you coming to Konoha again anytime soon?
no subject
You wish me to visit?
no subject
That, and I'm not sure I should go to Kirigakure -- I don't want to stir up trouble for no reason just by being there.

[ And that considerably improves her mood and will likely do so over the next while. Honestly this is probably the best day she has had in a long time.
... Hopefully uncle won't mind the fact that he's visiting too much. ]
