03:39 am: Letter to Ma
Dear Ma,
I know I ain't wrote ya in awhile...sorry if you were gettin' worried.
Work load is gettin' bigger here at the Budehec stables, and I still ain't got any steady help, but the pay's gettin' better to. The Karayans want me takin' care of their weird lizard things...kinda makes me miss Fubar. He sure were a nice lil fella. I need some ranch hands down here, just as badly as I needed some back home. At least here, I won't have to worry bout payin' em...the castle handles alla that. And there sure are a lot of able bodied young'ens with nothin' to do.
Percy and I shared a few drinks the other night. Fella sure is nice when he wants t' be. Him and Sir Wyatt. Queen n' Old Man Joker were there to. I ain't never had drinkin' buddies before...not since I took to the ale. Now Ma, I KNOW what yer thinkin' and I PROMISE I ain't gonna go crazy with the booze. I ain't a booze hound, and I learned my lesson bout' drinkin' contests against Old Man Joker. Percy's a bit of a pussy when it comes down to it, though...
Speakin a' Percy...Why did it bother me so much to hear Percy n' Sheena carry on like that? Percy's a knight, after all. A handsome one too. Of course he'd have a pack o' women after his heart...or more likely his body...all the dang time. Shoot, it's almost to be expected. So why did it bother me so dang much? Ma I just don't git it...Boys here ain't like the ranch hands we had back home...
...Home...God I miss home...I miss you too, Ma. It's so hard goin' on every day knowin' I ain't got no place to go back to. That...you ain't there anymore, Ma. I know you thought I could do this...but I let you down. I'm workin' my way back up day by day, settin' aside my money and savin' back up to get our home back but...
Ma...Momma... -tear stains start appearing on the paper at this point- Momma I wanna go home. I wanna sleep in my bed, and feed my horses again. I wanna smell that Nameless Land air again. Budehec...it ain't bad but it ain't home. Most of all, Momma...I wanna see you again...
...but I know that I can't. That no wish is ever gonna help me see you again before I get called up to be with ya...Momma...I can't do this without you...
