Aura,
It’s been too many weeks since I’ve had a chance to talk to you but I didn’t want you thinking I’d forgotten about you. I wouldn’t couldn’t after that night with the fireworks. Not that that’s the only reason because I meant what I said that night, all the things I said, even if they were stupid even if they came out a bit wrong.
In some ways, I miss working for Keyes because at least I was close to everything familiar. This Umberto fellow isn’t the worst but he’s somehow weirder, which I didn’t think was possible. He’s really clever but also a bit dense too. He seems to think that I’m like an ordinary servant and so he gives me a day off every week. A whole day of free time is more time than I know what to do with honestly but I’m also trying to pretend that I’m human on those days. I don’t think I’m any good at it.
I haven’t really had much chance to get back into the university proper and it’d be hard for us to see each other even if I did but if you wondered why I haven’t been to see you — that’s why. I’ll probably turn up sooner or later, even though it’s a lot of effort to get in. I don’t even know if I’ll send I can try to get you’ll get this letter because I suppose I’ll have to try to deliver it myself and that probably won’t be easy. I’d try to leave it with Harper but he might not like us writing to each other. If I get it to you, I don’t really expect you to answer — too risky for you — but I wanted you to know that I was thinking about you.
And I lo miss l miss you a lot. It’s very lonely here even though I’ve had company on days off met lots of people been around others on my days off. It’s not the same. Humans and wicks aren’t the same as us and being with them is less feels different lonelier I wish you were here with me.
I don’t even know why I’m writing all this. I’m free today and I’m just sitting here writing to you because I’ve nobody no way to talk to you and this doesn’t really count, does it? I’m really just talking to myself but it feels less like that if I’m writing a letter to you because I can pretend.
P.S. Managed to convince Niamh to get this to you (see, she doesn’t hate you!) and I hadn’t expected to send it so it’s a mess. I’m really sorry I didn’t write it out again but at least I didn’t throw it away? If she can be stealthy, I might get another one to you in future — a nicer one
