JOURNAL POST 2033 ⇆ 2023
Hello from 2033.
I know there are some anxious people on your end wondering what's been going on - everyone who decided to travel forward with Caleb and Essek have arrived safely and are now situated with us.

As you can see we are able to communicate across the timelines at the moment using the journals some of us managed to keep over the years. If you'd like to check in with your friends and family who travelled feel free to use this entry to do so.

While the journals will be usable for the next while here we are asking for everyone to refrain from spamming too much. All magic usage is a risk, this included. We are also asking that no one mentions any specifics to the plan, the journals on our end will not leave our safe zone, but should we be ambushed here we do not want any details falling into the wrong hands. As well please keep in mind our journal stock is limited and we are all sharing only a handful, your conversations may be viewed by others.

If someone can give me a quick "hey I see this" that would be great. We are fairly confident this should work but let us know for sure.

(( note: timeline wise today this will be written once everyone is back at the outpost and has had enough time to get sorted, so late afternoon/early eveningish ))

	I thank you for keeping me appraised and for doing what you can to alleviate what anxiety I feel. How have you been holding up? Are you well? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I am well, thought it is strange to be known by people whom I have not met. It is perhaps stranger still to be greeted like a ghost by people who I saw mere days ago.

I have learned more of my fate in this timeline: Cloud Recesses served as a safehouse for many, but fell victim to betrayal. Their Lan Xichen was killed in the attack that followed. ~~You were not there, and Prompto had to~~ Apparently I still have not learned the lesson of suspicion.

	I'm sorry. I can't imagine what that's like, but I imagine it must be especially uncomfortable. I like that you're not the suspicious sort, Lan Huan. Not so much that I would wish for you to fall to another betrayal, but trust in others is the sign of an honest man, and I love your kind heart. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

All will be well. When all becomes too much for me, I will think of you waiting for me at home, and my spirit will lighten.

I had thought it better to believe that people are good at heart, but too many times now I have seen how my belief in people has hurt others. I know that in our timeline, it is less of a worry; the stakes are not so high. ~~But if you could see yourself here, see what pain I have wrought upon you with my carelessness~~ But still, the results of my mistakes here are painful to see. I would not make them again.

	They say thar distance makes the heart grow finder; I do not know that my heart could grow more fond of you, but it does make me ache for you most terribly. I will be thinking of you, too, and dreaming of when I can hold you in my arms once more. Then I hope the lesson you take is one of caution over one of suspicion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

I miss you just as dreadfully. It is spring; the cherry trees bloom in a dark future as they do in our own time, and yet I cannot find them as beautiful without you. The nights, too, feel colder in spite of the season when I cannot feel your arms around me. ~~Then I look across the breakfast table at the William Laurence of this time, and I cannot help but be grateful that we will certainly see each other again, whilst he~~

And no, I cannot bring myself to default to believing that people are cruel and selfish. I have too many good examples to the contrary. But caution, yes. That I think I must begin to practice more carefully.

All my life I've spent months and years away from my family and friends, and had thought myself grown used to long absences. But never before have I loved anyone as I love you. I'd not thought it possible to miss someone so, or to have the days drag so that less than a week's separation feels a year.

I don't mean to complain, or to distract you from your mission, but only to let you know you are in my thoughts and in my heart, and so you know how dearly I desire to marry you in two weeks. ~~Please don't~~ ~~Please come back to m~~ I remind myself that the next week will pass sooner than I think.

Ah, I know that feeling well. Without you, my soul aches for its other half. I have dreamt of you these last two nights, in soft longing and in images that I dare not write down where another might see. When I return, I do not think I will be able to spend more than a breath away from you for at least the equal of these two weeks apart.

Did I ever tell you of the legend of the Lan men? They say in the cultivation world that the men of our family only love once in a lifetime, and that love is complete and consuming, never to burn out despite its intensity. It is often called a curse, and is part of the reason we are all trained to strictly govern our emotions from the time we are very young. Until I met you, I had thought myself not subject to that fate. Now I know that I simply had not met the one I was meant for, and who was meant for me in turn. I must be grateful that you are a man of honor who loves me just as well as I do you, for you surely could destroy me if you were not. No matter how long I live, no matter how far I may travel, there will never be anyone for me but you.
