Hey, pal! How have you been? You must have traveled far and wide since we last saw each other, right?

For me, I can only seek out some entertainment for myself.

These past couple of days, I've used a work opportunity to explore Dragonspine and seek out some local specialties. I hope they will be of use to you.

The harsh cold of the snow-capped mountains is reminiscent to the scenery of my hometown...

Sigh, I've had many mundane days that makes me nostalgic of our time together. Whether it's a fight or a challenge, I always feel that having you around is what makes life really interesting.

Haha, to be honest, I've been planning a special day to meet up with you, today could be that chance!

If you have no special plans, how about you swing by my place?

Hey, comrade! Where have you been adventuring recently? If you're available, how about we meet up sometime?

I made a trip back home and told my family about you.

Before I left, they made it a point to stuff a lot of homemade food into my bag and specifically asked me to bring it to you.

Of course, I still know my manners, so I've also prepared my own share of local specialties for you. Don't worry, it's alright if you're not used to the flavor. I'd be glad if you will try a taste.

Anyway, let's set all those quarrels and fights aside today and focus on things that make us happy — family, food, weather, or even previous combat experiences... Rest assured, together, we'll never run out of topics.

Ho, comrade! Travels going smoothly? Nothing major tripping you up in life?

I have been swamped recently, so busy that I haven't even had time to cook a proper meal! My cooking skills are going to get rusty at this rate... Of course, there's no way I could tell Tonia about any of that in my letters.

Next, I have to go run a little errand for the Northland Bank, so I've gotta move fast and use the few days before I set out for some "special training."

I've got it! Since you've been all over the world, you've probably collected all kinds of ingredients, right? How about giving me a little test? You pick the ingredients and seasonings, and I turn them into a scrumptious delight. You know me, I never back down from a challenge! Don't you dare go easy on me, comrade!

Hey there, comrade! Have you been preparing for your journey to Natlan? Is there anything I can help with? Natlan is the nation of "war," and everyone there loves to fight, just like me. So, before you set off, how about a good old sparring between the two of us? A bit of warm-up can't hurt, don't you agree?

Don't worry about me. I've been taking things easy and resting for quite a long time to reassure my family. In fact, if I don't get some exercise soon, my body might actually start falling apart.

Oh, and here, take the trophies I got from that whale. The thrill of the battle itself is sufficient enough for me. So, what do you say? My family would also feel at ease knowing I'm meeting up with you.

Hey, comrade! Word travels fast — sounds like you've been breaking through one impossible obstacle after another. Looks like your journey to get stronger is as relentless as ever. Gotta say, I'm proud of you. Really.

Not that I've been slacking off, of course. These days, I might just be strong enough to make our master stop holding back for once and fight me with both hands. With a comrade and rival like you keeping the pressure on, I've got no excuse to stay idle. At this rate, maybe she'll finally take me seriously... and show herself again.

But enough about that, let's talk about your next stop — Nod-Krai, right? I heard that Her Majesty the Tsaritsa deployed a large number of troops there, including a few of my colleagues... the kind with, shall we say, colorful personalities. If things ever come to blows between you and them... heh, that's a fight I'd pay to see.

Still, be careful when that time comes.

But for now... how about a warm-up? Up for a quick sparring session?

Hey, comrade!

Fine day for a little sparring, isn't it? If I wasn't so tied up with official business, I'd be right there in front of you, ready to go a few rounds. No holding back, of course.

As you know, things within the Fatui have been rather eventful lately. What's waiting for me now isn't quite as simple as finding someone and dueling them with everything I've got. Sometimes, I find myself on the proverbial battlefield even at the meeting table... It's not exactly my favorite kind of fight, but that's what makes it worth winning.

Anyway, enough about me. Your next stop is Snezhnaya, isn't it? Feeling ready for that? You've already crossed paths with most of the Harbingers by now. But as far as your Fatui acquaintances go, I was the first... wouldn't you say?

So when you set foot in Snezhnaya, naturally, the first old friend you come looking for should be me. And if anyone gives you trouble, you are more than welcome to mention my name.

I'll see to it you get a proper welcome, comrade!
