that the series is called healsong is simply a coincidence, surely.

Meme II Accepting! 

“Everything will be fine, Celeste. You needn’t worry yourself.”

His words are slow, deliberate---taking upon themselves a reassuring tone rivaled only by one’s parent. Libra knew the children had deemed them that---the parent they never had. He had emphasized that point in his many trying arguments with Nohr; he had tried his utmost to appeal to their human side, so that they’d repeal their efforts against him. 

Unfortunately, Celeste knew what trying times he faced outside of the orphanage doors. Some of them concerned her custody. Apparently, Nohr sprung forth claims that she was of their kin; but, he’d hear nothing of them. He had sworn a silent vow that no one would steal his children away, least of all the dark and violent Nohrians. 

➵  HEART-LETTER FOR ALETTER FULL OF MAHURI’S HEART | ACCEPTING

dear celeste,

when this letter reaches you, i won’t be in nohr anymore. i will have packed my things and left with my family — on our way back to hoshido. we’ve got a nation to rebuild in the south. but this isn’t the reason why i am writing you. this isn’t a farewell, this is a ‘thank you’. i grew up surrounded by people who used to say that RHYME about sticks and stones. surrounded by people who said i’m a lost cause because of my heritage. surrounded by people who made me feel like i’d live a lonely life, like the sun wasn’t something that was made for me, that i’d never meet someone who’d make me feel like i was being judged by my OWN personality. i felt like i had to fight every day and i was left outnumbered day after wretched day. but you ? you’re different. by the gods, you made me feel like a human whenever i was around you. you saw my heart before you saw my family tree. you made me feel like i had a PURPOSE in this life. i woke up every day, i tried my best every day, i approached every day with a smile. it’s all because of you. if i had the guts i would have told you just HOW MUCH your really mean to me. i already miss the days we didn’t spent trying to survive on the battlefield, but the days we spent laughing, the days we spent being competition for the sun with our smiles. i’m only concerned for how we’ll remain because i love you i hope you’ll find a retainer who can keep you safe with the same devotion i did.

maybe we’ll meet again, if not in this life, maybe in another. but the nohr-hoshido peace treaty should allow it.
