[BttP] Letters to Somebody || Jake & Cecilia
@aquamarine-skies
[ ⚔ ] --- After finishing up at work, a sixteen year old Jake heads to the beach to think to himself for a while before heading home. Around this time of day, all the other human kids his age would be getting out of school or after-school activities, and going to hang out in the city. Jake never liked walking around during those times, because the bastards would always say something stupid or ignorant about his ears (which he would never hide-- he was proud of his elven blood), which got Jake pissed, and more often than not led to a fight.
Those fights always caused problems for his dad, so Jake couldn’t keep getting into them. Hence why he had decided to isolate himself at the beach, which was thankfully empty at the moment. Most times, he’d come with nothing but his work bag, but this time around Jake had a letter and a bottle with him. A reply, to the letter he found last time he came to the beach.
Honestly, Jake didn’t even know why he was bothering with this. It wasn’t as if he knew who this person was, or where they were. And sending letters via the ocean wasn’t exactly the most reliable method of transportation-- there was no guarantee this person would even get it. But there was something that had compelled him to respond... boredom, most likely. It gave him something to do, since he didn’t have much of a life outside of the part time work he did for the old blacksmith.
He rolls up his letter and slips it into the bottle, corking it and placing it into the water to let it be carried off by the waves.
Hey.
Got your letter. Pretty sure it wasn’t meant for me, but hey, whatever, I found it. So I figured, why not reply?
Anyways... how are you?
