I understand if this letter is not welcome, and should that be the case, you may disregard it, and I will accept that. I apologise for leaving abruptly during our last encounter, although despite this I have given much thought to what you said, and your offer.
It is not anything you have done. I recognize that I have far too much on my mind for you to know what it is I am thinking. I have consulted Joshua's thoughts on the matter and he is fairly confident that despite any tension, which is entirely my fault, your offer to join your crew was genuine.
Although I had remained undecided, I have to admit that he can be very persuasive when he wants to be. [ Namely Joshua said he wanted Dion to come. ]
Should the offer not be rescinded, I would like to accept.
If there's anything you wish to discuss, please do not hesitate to do so.
[Well he had two surprises in store for him upon seeing this message. First, that it was Dion to begin with. Second... Well, no, perhaps he shouldn't have been so surprised to get a long letter in text form after seeing it was from Dion. Though the contents itself are also surprising in their own right. Not welcome? An apology?
....Acceptance of his offer????
Now that he truly did not expect, and there are several moments as he just stares at the words before he chuckles.
Joshua, is it? He hadn't realized the two were such good friends. But works for him.
And because he's such an easy-going fellow, he'll respond in kind. Have a letter—if much shorter.]
Dion,
Your texts are always welcome, so never worry about it. Nor do you need to be concerned about what happened earlier — I was also a bit in the wrong, and for that I also apologize.
Regardless, I am happy to accept your acceptance. Though I suppose I should thank Joshua for this, hm?
As for what to discuss, the matter of you being in Elah might cause some complications, but given that things are still being organized, it's no matter. Eventually I'll find a more central location where all can meet and serve as another place of domicile, but that won't be a while yet. For now, just continue as you are.
Of course, if you ever hear of any news that could help us... ;)
Now if you have any questions, feel free to ask them.
We shan't go back and forth with apologies, it will get us nowhere in the end, so let us end that there for the time being.
I suppose you should, it is certainly due to him that I made my decision. Not that you weren't enticing enough but I know most of you as acquaintances at best at the moment, it may have been premature. [ But Joshua, he considers a friend. ]
Of course you are correct. Do let me know when things are organized and I will come then. I don't wish to impose or cause problems unnecessarily.
Alas, I have not, although I'm not nearly so terrible. I did encounter a Corsair and helped her out of a difficult situation as I would you, unless of course you put yourself in it, in which case you may get yourself out of it.
[ He's kidding. He'd still help. ]
I haven't any questions about this at this time, not having seen the ship or having come to meet the crew, so for the time being I will be able to keep this missive on the short side.
Are you suggesting I am too loquacious for your tastes?
That does put my mind at ease somewhat, but if only because I'm uncertain how to relate to the rest of you. It is merely a new experience, nothing more, where we need not fight at the drop of a hat.
If it is any consolation, I can refrain from adding more for the moment.
Second, no need to think too hard about it. But if you want to know, the ones joining us are Kaveh, Yuffie, and Sorey. Not sure if you met any of them, but you may be able to get along with Kaveh and Sorey.
While I appreciate your literary criticism, it isn't terribly important is it? I suppose if you are not interested in receiving my missives, I could take that into account. [ In other words: just deal with it ]
I've had the opportunity to meet Sorey, at least, seems like a rather pleasant fellow. We did a guard shift together. I've not had the opportunity to meet the others.
I can be very agreeable, you know, I have no intention on causing any fights.
You realize I'm just pulling you, right? [Dion. Please. But he's still amused.]
I almost feel guilty bringing such a kindhearted soul into our ranks, but I think he and Joshua would get along, as well. Both sem to enjoy researching and all.
But I have no doubt you'll get along fine with the rest, nor do I anticipate any trouble. And if you ever come across anyone who you think could use a place even if for a while, you're welcome to run it by. [ie, help scout some more paladins to their group for "assistance" in the future—]
I feel in this short time I understand your nature, yes.
Fortunately I think you are correct on both counts. I'm sure we can all get along long enough for Sorey not to be bothered too much. Joshua would probably appreciate someone to study with him.

Dion,
You may want to reread the definition of "short." However, I've received and understood your message.
Just to note, you may feel a little more "comfortable" about the crew. Managed to get a few more Paladins.
Sincerely,
Cid

Aha, now you're learning to write more casually. [Without the formal salutations.]
But keep in touch. And if you ever get into a spot of trouble, you can contact any of us. Crew or not, we can look out for each other.
