Paradoxical as it may seem, I do so long to see you, although I also recognize how difficult it is to be with you, to love you as I love no one else, and yet have no means to express it beyond the sense of the Blood Bond. If only there were a way that those of our blood could impart life to one another! But to do that, we would have to be living, and so the longing will remain unfulfilled and our intimacy as intense as it is unrepeatable. I will treasure you and all we have had together even while I cherish the living who accept my love knowingly, as you taught me to do almost two hundred years ago.
Always your
