Dear Mom and Dad,
First, I wanted to thank you guys so much for letting me come here. I know that there was some worry, especially from you, Dad, about me being here and what that would mean and how that's been. I've felt more active and involved and excited in the past week or so than I ever have, and that's something I'm definitely going to take away from it. Plus, it's great to be able to hang out with all my siblings and not have that usual awkwardness. I even got to meet the mermaid/penguin princess and have lunch with the adopted vampire kid!
Oh, and I'm tutoring Gwyn Locksley. You remember her, right? I'm pretty sure I made her a little nervous by, you know, being me, but I'm really confident that I can help her, like I used to do for kids back home.
But I'm writing this to you guys to let you know that I'm about to do something that's probably stupid. See, Mordred, yes, that Mordred, he sort of did something that hurt Meredith. It's one of those things that I don't really feel comfortable sharing it with you. He didn't hit her or anything, but what he did do is arguably worse. And she's incredibly torn up about it and he's just being him.
So I challenged him to a duel. Or, well, I'm challenging him. I've got it written out next to me and I'm going to deliver it to him as soon as I'm done with this. I know on some level it's incredibly stupid. Though I also feel I should mention that it's exactly what Dad would do if it was his best friend had been deeply hurt by someone. We all know that I probably won't win. Dad tried to teach me, but I just never really picked up the actual swordfighting part of it, and Mordred's pretty good. So there's a chance that you won't hear from me again after this.
Someone had to do this though. It's partially the whole "all good people need to do to let evil win is stand by and do nothing" thing, but it's more. Like, I don't think Mordred's a lost cause? If I did, I'd just murder him in the coffin he shares with Costin or something. But I think that he's just had an awful life and that he's got this potential. Maybe he could even become this cool anti-hero type. But if nobody actually calls him on it, nothing will happen, and he'll just keep being awful. and it's got to be someone meek and probably a girl. Though I can't let them think all this. They've got to think I just hate him and think he's scum.
Which isn't too hard; he's been a blaggard.
Love you both. Thanks again for sending me.
Lorelei
