[A page of ornate script can be seen, but the sentences are broken thanks to how much has been crossed out:

FatherWithen,

Our paths may never cross again. I expect that brings you joy. I am going to request that this letter be sent to you. The Fae are capable of magnificent deeds and

The text stops almost as if the writer couldn't think how to continue.

I haven't been the best son and you haven't been the best father, however I don't regret having known you. I see now that my future is brighter than I ever imagined. I also see that holding petty grudges is a wasted effort.

As much as you may wish I were your bastard, I am not.

Each crossed-out section is legible. Unfortunately. The silver eyes of Vanyel are soon peering into the locket, his forehead creased.]

Am I allowed no privacy? [He balls the letter up in his hand and instead begins to write Lady Treesa at the top of a blank sheet of paper.] Are all families so difficult?

[No matter where he goes, what he accomplishes, there are certain facts that won't change. Withen in particular is like a stubborn mule when it comes to understanding him. He is only beginning to try in truth, but Vanyel knows it's far too little far too late.]

Families can be....complicated, yes. I can understand that.

[Even her own, which was previously so simple and perfect, just her and her loving parents. Until they died and everything changed. Snow can relate to family being complicated.]
