Lady Penelope & Parker - Close Pen Pal Club (The Reply)

My dearest Sybil,

What a charming and delightful invitation! Parker and I would be absolutely thrilled to join your Close Pen Pal Club. It sounds like a perfectly splendid gathering of friends, full of fun, adventure, and a great deal of companionship. I can already picture the laughter and warmth we’ll share, not to mention the joy of indulging in pizza every night—though I must say, I do prefer a more refined meal from time to time. However, in such wonderful company, who could refuse?

Your club members are a fine selection indeed! Simba, Bluey, Bingo, the Care Bears, Scooby-Doo, Captain Scarlet… and, of course, Oink and Titan from Stingray. It’s like an international assembly of dear friends, all gathered for the sake of shared joy. The idea of a huge bed for us all to sleep in is simply too delightful. I’m sure it will be a restful and fun-filled experience—though I’ll admit, Parker might need an extra pillow or two! And Taromaru is most welcome; we must make him feel at home, especially after all he has been through with Yukii.

Ah, your mention of the ‘Numi Numi’ lullaby brought back such tender memories. Indeed, I do know it well. Parker and I encountered it on one of our missions in Russia, and it has stayed with me ever since. The words, though simple, carry such depth, and their soothing melody has a way of calming the most restless of souls. The lullaby, as you likely recall, speaks of love and protection, of a mother’s devotion to her child. The lyrics, "Numi numi yaldati," mean, "Sleep, sleep, my little girl." It's a sweet reminder of how love transcends borders, even during times of conflict.

I am so touched that you remember the times I sang it to you, my dear Sybil. Holding you close and knowing you felt safe was as much a comfort to me as it was to you. The world may be at war in many ways, but these moments of peace, love, and care are what bring us all together.

Parker and I are looking forward to joining your club and embarking on this wonderful adventure with you and your friends.

With all my love,
Lady Penelope

Parker's Note:

Miss Sybil,

I’m honored that you’ve included me in this fine Pen Pal Club of yours. I reckon it’ll be a right proper time, what with all the friends you’ve gathered. A bit of adventure and pizza with good company sounds like just what we need, and if Miss Penelope is happy, then so am I. I’ll even bring along a bottle of my best sherry for a toast!

As for that ‘Numi Numi’ lullaby, well, Miss Penelope’s the real expert, but I remember it from our days in Russia. Calming, it is—like a soft breeze on a quiet night. Even had a calming effect on some of our missions, believe it or not! Singing’s not my forte, mind you, but I’m always there when needed to help, even if it’s just keeping an eye out for any unexpected trouble.

Looking forward to all the fun and some well-earned relaxation. Count me in, Miss Sybil, alongside the rest of your lovely gang.

Yours sincerely,
Parker
