July 17th, 1888
Eavan,
It was very strange, honestly. A group of all men. One of them your father. He's a bit of a gruff ass, you know? I'm thinking it may be best we wait on telling him anything of us following all that happened. He didn't seem to like any of the men we were with. But we were stuck with two young boys. It was.. Well let's just say I won't be joining an expedition again any time soon.
I'm sure Bastien's main issue will be that he doesn't have you now. Though, I don't envy the poor soul whose laces he goes for. Especially if you're not there to reign him in.
My sister came by and gave me hell for not letting them know, as I believe I told you. I had to appease her by saying once we can, I'd take her to the zoo to meet you. I will put it off as long as you see fit though. Especially considering your injuries. Abigail can be.. a bit of a handful.
Yours,
Fletcher
