To Wan the giver of mostly accurate titles,

You'd be surprised the things people question me about, but I guess that's to be expected when everything's not what it seems lately. What's cloudwalking (exactly what I think it is)? I'm going to bug Lemina to start teaching me wind magic soon, I think, but we've all been pretty busy lately. I'll keep that in mind for when I get that far though, that sounds awesome! I don't know about that though. Fire helps hold up some stuff in my world for pretty far distances .

Sounds good. Let's say the third and if somehow it's longer I'll send a message ahead.

That's the part I'm not sure I can ever really do? It's kinda complicated but I know how to master my own thoughts and get them to a place I want them to be. It's not quite meditation, but I get by. I hope that makes sense.

So what you're saying is that I need to not get distracted on this mysterious inner path. I guess that makes sense, too, but...I mean don't take this the wrong way, but what makes you think I haven't found peace or that I'm not used to it?

I've never thought about it that way. But we can wait to talk about it in September if that's easier. Until then, letters are always going to find me.

To Hiro, Fire Wizard,

I'm sorry if my assumptions are wrong, but you said you were having trouble meditating and how. I can only explain what I know based on that. That's not to say you aren't at peace with yourself, but there's a difference between being at peace with yourself and finding peace in meditation. The first is a great thing that everyone should strive for. The second is something that helps you on a day-to-day basis when the problems you encounter cause you stress and confusion. A moment of meditation can bring things into perspective as well as drain away tension that can cloud your judgement.

It's probably easier to discuss it in person, though. I'll see you in a couple weeks.

Wan the wanderer,

I never said that either. It's...pretty complicated, too. The whole thing is complicated but it'd be a lot easier to explain in person. I want to get better at it, but there's a lot that gets in the way instead.

But if anybody's going to teach me, may as well be an expert, right?

A few weeks. I'll be there.
