A.N: Hi again. I know this isn't a update for one of my countless other in-progress works but this idea wouldn't leave me alone.

I can hear you cry "Ladel, please stop giving us different things, finish something first" and to that I say 'I'm trying please don't hurt me'.

But in all seriousness this is only something small and I should get the rest of this finished by the end of next week.

I hope you like it.


Dear Ruby

You won't find this until you're shipped off after graduation and that's how I planned it. You're finally going to do what you wanted since you were a young girl, you have no idea how proud I am to say I was your friend and resident goof.

I can't tell you how glad I am you get to do what you want, at least one of us should have that chance. I'm not coming with you, I know I told you I would but if im writing it all down I might as well tell you the truth. I can't be a liability to you all, I won't forgive myself if something were to happen to my friends and especially you. I know you will do great things without me but know I will be with you where ever you are and that's why I'm sending you a gift you will love.

But enough of me being melodramatic and depressing.

You remember the night we talked about our futures when I lost my arm? We talked about how different our lives had been since we arrived at beacon and how they will continue to change when we leave, and you saw my sketchpad on the table and asked to see it. I couldn't say no to those puppy dog eyes and soon we found ourselves looking through it until we fell asleep.

Do you remember when you found me in the schools forge? I was attempting to make a arm for myself so I could spar with you again and instead of telling me to stop you asked what I needed.

If you hadn't been there I would have never had made it to the end and for that I am grateful. It was you who told me I could do whatever I wanted and you believed in me and my designs when I was at a low.

I won't be joining you on your adventures, but I will be here in Vale with my new forge and materials for when you need anything. Every huntress needs a armorer and that's what I'm going to be, if you ever need something sent or made all you have to do is ask.

You taught me to believe in myself, now it's my turn. You're going to be the best huntress the worlds seen and if you ever feel yourself straying just remember your biggest cheerleader screaming from home.

Tell me more about where you have gone, maybe a couple of photo's to ease my curiosity?

Your tall blonde and scraggly

Jaune


Dear Jaune

I'm sorry my reply has taken so long. With the constant travel and assignments it's been difficult to have time to myself let alone write back.

I understand why you aren't with us, it doesn't mean that I'm not upset that you couldn't have told me in person and to find a letter instead of you waiting for me was hard to swallow at first.

I always knew you had a fine eye for the little details whether it be planning a new strategy to implement during training or when you would gaze at the horizon and recreate it on a page in front of you. So don't be mad when I say I laughed at the idea of you working in a hot forge all day complaining about this and that to yourself while hammering away or doing whatever you would do. It's good to know I have somebody supporting me all the way from home.

Mistral this time of year is beautiful. When they told us we would be heading here I thought it would be the same as Vale but found myself pleasantly surprised with what I saw. Jaune there is so much color here, not just the countryside but the towns and cities to. Wherever you look it explodes with gentle, warm color that you would be envious of.

If you are going to be my personal armorer then I should at least give you some work to do right?

Here is a list of things that I am going to need as soon as you can send them.

Cleaning Rod x 3

Reversed Rifled Barrels x 2 (Suitable for High-Velocity Ammunition)

And if it is possible can you make a few spare scythe blades?

I'm going to attach the address that I'm currently staying in and I will tell you when and if I move elsewhere.

Stay safe

A.N: So what did you think?

I don't know why but I really like the idea of making Jaune loose his limbs and I am powerless to stop it.

I intend to finish this, it wont be long. Maybe 2 more chapters and those probably wont be any longer than this one.

Have a great day.
