[Loving words have never been a part of Kaz’s vocabulary, at least not how many understand them. Loving for Kaz has been trying to overcome his phobia at fourteen so that he could kiss Imogen. It had been placing a dagger in Inej’s hand and telling her she’s dangerous. It was promising to always come for her, crawling if he was too broken to walk, so they could fight their way out together of whatever the world threw at them. It was saying he could not promise safety, nor happiness, only honesty. He doesn’t know if he’s built for sweetness any longer.
He’s not so broken though that he doesn’t like that such tenderness does exist for the people that matter to him. That they’ve experienced it in the past or are now. That he won’t fight for their happy endings.]
There isn’t one set period of time, so the only answer I can give is ‘as long as it takes.’ It gets easier over time the more you do it, and it also depends on the writing style. Some people have a lot more flourishes and quirks than others, and you have to be mindful of the style of writing they’re using and the letter combinations. If you don’t have a sample of how certain letters connect, then making assumptions can lead to a glaring mistake. If you’re not merely copying a letter but trying to create one from scratch, you really need more samples to work from, how they speak doesn’t even always match up to their style in writing. And of course, the person receiving the forgery matters, how familiar they are with the writing and things of that nature.
In this case, it’s to his business partners. They know a particular side and style from him. They have endless dirt on him but aren’t likely to know how he talks to his mistress in the bedroom. I don't plan on starting the letter with To my darling pookie petal.
