Maybe it was longer and the trip through the wrong tree took longer than we thought it did. It's hard tell when they don't even use the same calendar or have the same stars here.
[Second Filter] Percy.
I don't know why we write like this when you're a room away. But I actually really like it. This is much easier than talking about things in person and I think we should have all difficult conversations like this from now on. Maybe we could write notes when we go back home. Or draw pictures for Grog.
We read it, and we're terrible, and I'm sorry. You're already a good man Percy. Flaws and mistakes and anger don't make you not also already a good man. We can all be better, but you're already good and I wish you knew that. [/Filter]
[Keyleth/Percy] I really wish you wouldn't thank me. It makes me think you believe it's something special, that other people wouldn't have done for you. I just happened to be the one who was capable of it in that moment. Even if I'd failed, we would have found some other way. We wouldn't have left you to Orthax.
You have nothing to apologize for. Not in this. We've all brought our own enemies and problems into the group, and we've all fought for causes that didn't start out just our own. We're family now. What hurts you hurts all of us. I should have kept you from falling at all, we knew you would be her main target. But I didn't. You're alive now and I'm so relieved. I don't know what this world really is, but any world and all worlds would be poorer without you in them, and I wouldn't want to have to live there without you. I love you too. Even when we disagree, I think you make me see more of the world in ways I might not ever have thought to without you.
I know you believe you unleashed evil on the world with Ripley and your weapons and Orthax. But you've done so much good too, Percy. There are so many people, including all of us, who wouldn't be alive without you. And we've all done things we regret along the way. You're trying so hard to make up for what you've done and I just want you to know that I see that, and that I don't believe you have the debts to pay that you believe you do. Not that you've done nothing wrong because if I said that, I'd be lying and you'd believe nothing else I said. But the things that I think you feel worst for - Vex and Ripley and the rest, those aren't your fault.
And don't apologize for that, either. Vax and I ... I'm not really very good at opening my heart as easily as he does. It makes sense that he has room for many more people in it. I'm not sure how it all will work out, or how it should work out. But I'm not going anywhere ... apparently none of us are going anywhere, because we don't know how to get home. But you know what I mean!
I can't push him into a tree, they don't even go where I tell them to go here. I care for Kash, but I'm not really good at talking about these things with one person involved. Or one person and a tree. I think I need to know what I want to say and I think to know what I want to say I need to meditate and try something that the woman at the bar called tequila.
I love you. Don't ever die on me again, please.
I really do like talking like this, maybe you can make this work at home. It's so much easier when you don't have to think about expressions.
