[The handwriting is a little messy, but still recognizable as Sky's.]

My injuries are close to healing, so I should be able to return to duty soon. Sitting around the house and not being able to do anything has been hard.

Thank you to all of the medics who have assisted me; I wouldn't be able to be back on my feet this quickly without your talents. Thank you also to those who have been assisting the Guard and the Watch, and to members of the Guard and Watch themselves for keeping an eye on me while I couldn't defend myself.

[Pen taps.]

Is there anybody who can train me to use a sword when they- and I- have some free time?

We'll need to learn to deal with separation anxiety better.

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

I'll write to you!

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

And send notes to each other via Logan.

Oh, wait...

"Dear Sky,

Today my little sister continued her two week vigil for Stoneface at the Hall Beginnings. She tried to convince someone on the journals to help her wash the blood from a picture book that Stoney liked to read to her. Meanwhile my other friends are busy trying to find the guy who tried to kill you. It's the best month ever.

XOXO,

Ghost"

...Shit ok when I talk like that it's not funny anymore. Sorry.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Yeah, let's get off this track.

We need to spar when I'm allowed to. You and Bridge both need to get in better shape.

lazy man is lazy

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

WHAT? Why me?!

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Because we're all Power Rangers. I feel like it's important for us to be in top shape.

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

But I'm not a Power Ranger now!

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Who said you weren't?

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

[congrats sky you surprised him]

...I say so!

[sulky handwriting is sulky]

I don't even remember it.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Neither do I. And yet, I'm still capable of thinking of myself that way.

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

Yeah cause you're you. You're a Guard!

...Wait how come I'm getting this lecture and Bridge and Pinky aren't? They're Rangers too!

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

I don't see why that matters.

Pinky isn't trying to weasel her way out of anything, and Bridge has already heard all of this before.

He has MISGIVINGS Mister! But doesn't remember enough to know why

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

It matters cause you're all Mr. Responsible and shit. That's sooo not me.

I'm not weaseling!





Ok maybe I am. Just a little. How much sparing are we talking about?

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Exactly, so I'm being responsible on your behalf.

A few times a week. Believe me, I wouldn't dare take up too much of your time.

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

My hero.

A few times a--[Furious scribbling]!!!

Damnit. Fine. And only because you've managed to offend one of the hundreds of crazies with this Watch business and I think you need someone to watch your back.

Don't think I won't figure out a way to pay this back, Tate.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

Of course. Don't expect me to put on the Spandex for you, though, Ghost. Only Inara gets it upon request.

Yes, I need someone watching my back. And you are of the few people I trust to have that task.

must you bring emotions into this, Sky?

[redrobinhood.livejournal.com]

I'm so jealous.

...Yeah well...same.
