Dear Kez,

Well! You'd better stop sending me letters at Tillek, because I'm not there anymore! No, it's all right, I haven't been sent back home, though I get the impression my mother would drag me back instantly if she possibly could. No, it's much better than that: I've been Searched for the clutch on the sands at Fort Weyr! So I guess that means I'm closer to you, now, though perhaps it hardly matters, since I'm stuck here for the duration, and you're... well. Where you are. All that.

Like I said, my mother is really not happy. Kas got sent over to try and talk sense in to me, though it's plain as anything he thinks it's great, and is really excited for me. I'm excited for me, too. Tillek was awful lonely without you, and anyway, now that I've been searched my family can't interfere: I'm free. Even if I don't Impress (and what an awful thought that is - if I did, then I could be your dragonrider lover who you saw occasionally, and it'd be like a scandal, but I wouldn't lose my reputation, see), I can stay, I never have to get married or anything.

I do want to Impress. I guess maybe I kind of have wished I could ever since Kas did, but it never seemed likely, you know? But here I am. Maybe High Reaches would've been better - close to Kas, and all - but there's something really exhilarating about being in a place where there's no family around. I've never really gotten to do that before; there's always been SOMEONE. I guess maybe Kas knows some people here, but it's different to having to constantly run into family, and behave according to their standards, and live up to them. I feel free.

I have chores to do, so I should finish this up, I suppose. I miss you, Kez. I'm glad I was Searched, but I'd still rather be back at Tillek with you. Or anywhere with you, really. Sometimes I miss you so much I want to throw up. Does that make me really pathetic? I don't know. I hope we can see each other again soon. I hope Boll is okay, and they're not trying to marry you off or anything yet (I think my heart will break if they try to do that, you know that, right?).

I love you. I miss you. I hope you can imagine my arms around you; I imagine yours.

Your Kash.
