[ Another letter? Maki is certainly appreciative, excitedly checking who it's from gives Maki a strange sense of existential dread. The name is familiar, and brings to mind an embarrassing memory. ]
I-I can't believe she wrote something... What does she mean I "seem cool"?! I'm sure she's just making fun of me...
[ And so she pens a response, thinking to herself that she would somehow show up Meliora but doing so, writing back in as girly and perfect penmanship as she manage. ]
Dear Meliora,
With the summer heat giving way to the cool breeze of autumn I hope the change of seasons treats you well.
I'm glad to hear you made it through the battle and are still in good spirits. It seems like my energy was not wasted, and I'm thankful for that.
I also enjoyed your photos. I didn't know you were into photography. If you ever need anyone to model I would be happy to help!
[...oh hell, this letter is actually kind of endearing.]
[Note to self, annoy Maki more in the future.]
[...Okay, maybe a little more annoying her NOW, and then annoy her more in the future.]
Maki,
I might just have to take you up on that offer. Actual models are hard to find, I just got a little bit fortunate at spotting some street fashions and they said it was okay. Do you have a preferred style? I wouldn't mind trying to get a portfolio or spread or something put into a fashion magazine.
From what I hear, the pay is pretty good, and you've got a unique enough charm to work with most anything--so long as you're not stuttering and blushing over holding hands, anyways. ;)
[ No, wait, that's the exact thing she didn't want though! Not that it stopped Maki from being a little snippy in her own letter... But now she feels doubly like she's being challenged somehow, and she refuses to lose. ]
Dear Meliora,
I prefer stylish and more modern fashions. I've done a few modeling jobs here and back home, so there's no one better suited to helping you than me. And don't worry, I won't charge you or anything, since we're friends now, right?♡
Don't worry, you'll be getting the cute and popular Princess Maki as your subject, I'll be sure to dazzle you with my smile!
[She reads the letter, and... smiles. Friends. Yeah, that's a close enough word to it. Not that she really trusts anyone further than she can throw them, but she's gotten what she wants so she can give in now. A bit.]
Maki,
Just friends? We're something far more sacred now: a model and her photographer.
The pact has been sealed. You don't get to change your mind later, okay? Remember, it's a promise! I'll look forward to seeing that smile of yours, Princess.
[ Somehow, Maki felt a little worried. That she had just gotten herself into something she was going to regret. She could practically see Meliora's little grin as she read that last letter to herself.

I'm not thanking you for helping me out back in the battle. I didn't need it, and I definitely think you shouldn't waste your energy on noncombatants.
But you seem pretty cool, so I decided, hey, why not give you something I'm proud of in return?
You don't have to thank me either--I already know they're awesome.
Lady's blessings,
-Meliora
[There are three pictures included, of a pair of nice street fashions she happened upon, alongside a landscape photo as well.]
