The Killing Type Extra: Boss Letters
May. 6th, 2022 09:13 pmI was thinking the other day what The Killing Type must look like from Bastiaan’s old captain’s point of view. Bastiaan specifically doesn’t mention his relationship with Lennart when it first happens, and then I thought…when does he mention this? Does he bring it up before the wedding invitation or???
Because I did establish that Bastiaan’s captain has basically been looking out for him since he was a kid. Imagine being like a grizzled mid-30s mercenary and suddenly you accidentally adopt a traumatized autistic kid. And then 10 years later he gets a job offer to teach and is like “yeah okay” and like. What are you going to say? Teaching teenagers how to defend themselves is definitely safer than merc work. But also aaaaaa that weird kid is so important to you and he has no idea how to live around other people aaaaaaa
Anyway, here’s a set of letters exchanged between Bastiaan’s bosses.

Dear Headmistress Agatha Maartens,
We spoke briefly last autumn, upon the occasion of you hiring one of my best mercenaries to teach at your Academy. I’m sorry to bother you, as you no doubt have many demands on your time, but I can think of no one else who might be able to help me in this situation.
