[Literally just before Vander steps through the portal to the Solmara mission, he decides to send a message that he has composed. It should be clear that this isn't an off-the-cuff message but one he's probably been working on for a few days.]
I'm heading to Solmara to see what can be done about the overthrown brother of Aurora. Sevika and Caitlyn are also going, so I'll be keeping an eye on them, since there is no guarantee for our safety and return. Death seems like a potential permanent factor too. Honestly, it sounds like home when we were kids just with more actual magic.
Do yourself a favour and find a hobby or something; you do this self-destructive thing when you have too much time to think and nothing to apply it to. This place is going to grind you down. How do I know? It's already happening.
And stop being an asshole to Sevika. She's loyal to you to the bitter end. She says it's Zaun - and it is - but she relies on you and your wild controlling plans to make it happen. She's got your back.
Take of Jinx while I'm gone. She has a bright future ahead of her, and it needs to be cultivated and protected.
As for us, if I don't come back, I suppose this means that you won again, right? You've always been an asshole for as long as I've known you, but you've always been my asshole. We've done a lot of shit things to each other over the years, and I'm done apologizing for my part and I know there will be no apology from you. We stole each other's happiness. Fair trade, I guess.
Anyway, I guess this is good-bye. For a little while or permanently. So, so long, Slugger. Remember, first two knuckles hurt them, last two hurt you. Have fun at summer camp or don't.
