"Hey Reginald.

It's Saladin.

We've both lived a pretty hard knock life, haven't we? Lots and lots and lots of ups and downs. It's never been easy for
either one of us. While you probably can't imagine what it's like going from slave to baron to rogue, I can't hope to
imagine what it was like to go from one planet to the other as a kid, dealing with the things you did. We've both really
been through a lot.

But you know the best part?

One way or another all we went through led you to me, me to you. Ever since I met you, you've been there to pull me out of
the fire, and I like to think I've been there for you too. You've never doubted my choices and I don't think I've ever
doubted yours... but you know full well how shoddy my memory is. But you know what I'll never forget? I'll never forget the
winter of 4951 on Orran, Yaurai.

I can safely say that was the best week of my life.

So take this photograph. As a memento of that time, so that we never forget. Thank you for those memories, Reginald.


Your best friend and partner in crime,


-Saladin"

This piece means a -lot- to me. More than I can actually, properly describe. My best friend, of eight years has been there with me through the thick and thin, and he's never left my side. I could never ask for a greater friend through all my ups and downs. Here's to celebrating our friendship, my friend.

This piece was drawn by the amazingly talented , who just, did the most incredible job. She's an absolutely darling person who never ever fails to meet expectations - indeed, she consistently exceeds them. She's a fantastic artist with much ahead of her. Perhaps you should commission her when she's open!
