#// RIGHT. AND ALSO BC YOU MENTIONED THE DICHOTOMY BETWEEN BERNIETALK AND BERNIEWRITE

[pridelessdaydreamer]

Trends are cyclical, so they say. The latest and greatest in fads sweeping Garreg Mach is the return of ~penpals~ except, erm, this time it isn’t just for fun. No, this time it’s a school-wide assignment! Students (and faculty!) are intended to be paired at random, so you could wind up with just about anyone as your partner. Of course, if you’d rather exchange letters with your friends, there’s nothing saying you can’t rig the system just a little…

Quill and ink and paper are collected to begin the task at hand: that is, to begin an exchange of letters between himself and some unknown other person—preferably someone Linhardt could get along with, but even if he didn’t, it wasn’t like Linhardt was bound.

(Worst case scenario, she could write the minimum number of letters and then… not reply anymore.)

Boy sits at her desk, pondering her parchment, before deciding upon how to begin:

—

Hello.

For the both of us, I’d like to hope we can at least get along. To that end, I’d like to ask what your opinion is on books? Preferably nonfiction, but so long as you read, I don’t really care.

Literacy is important.

Farewell,

A moment passes where Linhardt deliberates on whether or not to sign their name or remain anonymous. (On the one hand, if it is a student they are assigned to, they don’t care if they’re recognized or not.) If it is a teacher, however—well, Lin’s intended bluntness would not do them very well, so they think. (Nor would the not replying plan.)

P.

(It doesn’t stand for anything.)
