The parchment left on the man's desk wears no signature, as sometimes these letters don't ; but the thin, flowing script speaks plenty of the hand that had written it. The ink spells out all delicate, gentle strings of poetic French. Talk of skies and moons and stars. Dreams of the sea, a heart stronger than the tide. Shadows of Mathias as he is known and loved, all captured within a knight's humble prose for him to find
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β These letters have begun to find him troubled.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Signature should bedight these things, for certain expectations, certain feelingsΒ with them come comfortably; but, bereft of, come slews of thoughts and musings that thieve time from the tactician without his notice. Though beautiful, the script itself has taken an undergrowth of subtle change, or perhaps metamorphosis, if Mathias should let imaginations run tooΒ wild; As scenes and details leap more from the parchment than some prior letters, than more diminutive sentiments from before - confessions of a heart by far more richly full than any sea mentioned, or known, for that matter - that, at once, leaves Mathias to broodings of great difficulty; with acceptance of whatβs been written, how many he requite? The Belmont connotes love with shadows, with mere fleeting glimpses that at once take him with grappling, demanding hands. Times as these paint reminders to an otherwise lulled state: never once should it be forgotten that this Knight unfurls his passions, free and lifted by gales. His script-styling speaks greater volumes than any performer, and, daresay, leaves impressions by far longer lasting.Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Though unacquainted with his skin, gallowβs humour reminds him much of being chained; thoughts collared, as it were, left off beneath the sunβs most glaring ire, with nothing to quench questions nor remotely satisfy any theories considered when the mind decides it appropriate. Momentarily comforted by streams of golds and yellows, sorts of ringlets left to waltz low in skylines, not realizing the fall of the evening - finally, Mathias breaks silences and drums laughter for all that has gone away with him.Β Like the glimpses seen through shadows, loved to spite the veil, there is nothing to do else than covet this man as defeat has coveted the tacticianβs heart.Β
Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β Β This man, second to himself leading charge - pious, steadfast, holy. No excursion has seen him dwindled in spirit for all the life in his blue eyes, nor will, nor strength unsound when sleeplessness caught them for dayβs dragging. Neither had he ever found the Belmont selfish, assisting those in need, even despite Mathiasβ more disapproving mentions. And now here, displaying openly something guileless, sweet. An anomaly, to be certain, yet one now endearing himself to the tactician all the more. A very specific sort of wonderful, and one bringing joy to any otherwise dour day. The more this letter is simply allowed to be, allowed to entertain and enthrall, warm and make calm, the more Mathias finds himself softened by itβs presence. Made gentle, swaying thoughts and drumming laughter in a much more genuine manner.Β Yes, there is nothing to do else than covet he. As callow as he is alluring - and make certain no soul exists to bring harm to a singular hair on his head.Β
