#THIS WAS SO SWEET askRevali I AM IN TEARS TnT

[askthenewritoelder]

Good morning, Teba. Happy Yuletide.

I have no interest in interupting your family affairs so I've left Tulin, Saki and Link's gifts under your obnoxiously decorated tree and I'm going to go and patrol the Village for the day to ensure that everyone is safe from attack while they're preocupied with this christmas nonsense.

Anyway, this is for you. I know you enjoy alcohol so I picked you up this barrel of aged cider from Luralin. I also noticed now that I have resumed ownership of my bow and Tulin has been given the copy you made, that you're shooting with a dull Falcon Bow. It doesn't suit you to have something run of the mill with your skill level, so I've had crafted for you this - I call it the Great Hawk Bow, and it is a masterpiece of my own design - the Great Eagle Bow 2.0, if you will.

You spend too much time aspiring after me, Teba, trying to be somebody you're not. The truth is, you surpassed me a long time ago, whether you mastered the winds or not, you're an archer who could likely best even me. You helped Link defete the Calamity and keep the Village safe where I failed. It's time for you to make your own legacy now.

I...for what it's worth- you....deserved a better rolemodel than I could ever be. I am not kind, nor humble - I don't get along with people, there is a good reason I lived alone before my death. I am greatful to you for your patience living with me these past several months, I know I am not always an easy person to be around, and often you feel disapointment having met the real Master Revali only to discover that I am not everything you dreamed I was. You're a good man, and a phenominal leader - you deserve someone good like Link to be proud of, and I'm glad you have absorbed him into your little family.

….Welcome back, Master Revali. I hope your patrol went well. Thank you for the letter and the gifts you left for everyone. You didn’t have to, really. You being with us…is more than we could ever ask for.

You’ll stay for dinner, right?
