"I think that being able to experience the bonding several times before the battle has been a great benefit." Jeremiah turned the noted-filled parchment over and continued to write. The flow from writing to dipping the quill in ink mirrored the movements of the Air that sat in front of him, "It is fascinating, the way it changes in its intensity. Sometimes I know when she rises in the morning."
"Hopefully it is not so early that she wakes you." With a gently sigh, Storm carefully cleaned the tip of her feather and corked the deep blue ink. "I take it that you and Erika work well together?" She thought upon the Water Elemental that Jeremiah had been paired with, and the possible clashing of her strong personality against his.
"It took some time, but yes. She reminds me of you in some ways, just a bit more spontaneous and less rash." He did not flinch as a previously balled piece of paper connected to the side of his forehead. He glanced up and noticed that her writing had barely filled a page, "I would think that you would have more to add."
"What for? I have little that is mine only and not my family's as well." She shrugged, shifting in the chair to relive the small pains in her back. "I find this to be a bit silly, do you not?" A slow smirk appeared, "It is like we are expected to be unsuccessful."
"I believe that Shawn is just trying to be cautious. Could you imagine only four Guardians remaining?" He slowly shook his head, the pause in the writing transfered brown ink to his thumb unknowingly, "I hope you do not regret not writing letters, at least."
"Jeremiah, if my loved ones do not know how I feel of them, no words on timeless paper will be convincing."
"But it could keep words pure when the mind will eventually erase them away. Though," he began to put his papers together, "with your minimal involvement, there is no reason for you to worry."
"Nor for you either." Finding each passing minute to be more uncomfortable in the chair, she slowly stood, "I think that I am going to go walk to Father's and check on him. Care to come?"
"No, I am going to meet Erika here shortly." She gave him a frown, and his smile was an answer enough, "Enjoy your waddling." It was becoming his new phrase of teasing.
"I do not waddle." Her nose came up slightly, "I glide." Chuckling on the way out, she could not push away the dark thoughts that threatened to grow with the date of the Chaotics rapidly approaching.
