Hello again. I've been giving a bit of advice out to people who need help with dealing with lost ones. I've never used it myself, actually, but it doesn't seem like a bad idea. When we got here, me and my friends, we were astonished we couldn't speak to anyone from back home. Back home, you just send an owl, you see, and you can usually find anyone you're looking for. Well, here, that isn't really possible, especially if someone's gone.

[Harry pauses to carefully consider his words. He doesn't want to sound like someone who's experienced a lot of loss, which makes this harder. His parents, Sirius, they'll wonder why he's so used to this, so he decides to leave that part out. If anyone wishes to know, he'll tell them somewhere else—or just hope that his parents aren't so involved that they'll listen to every conversation he has. They haven't given him that impression, anyway.]

My point is—I've recommended that people write letters. They might find their way to where they belong sooner or later. Luna liked the idea, and I've been considering taking it up myself. And that's just to tell people from home things.

So ... yeah. It might help. But sorry for all your losses.

[Harry feels like that's enough.]

There is one more thing. I contacted a number of people about training. Merlin, Lancer ... others. But then the battle happened and my parents showed up, and, er, most of the meetings were meant to take place during that battle, which obviously, they just couldn't. Since the bracelets have still been acting up, I've been holding off on contacting anyone again, but if you received a message from me, I'm still very much interested. I'd make it easier and contact you directly, but I'm not counting on the messages making it to you just yet.

Right, that's all.

Does he wear colorful jumpers? I always like to imagine Merlin being a fan of colorful jumpers.

[ she's kidding. kinda. ]

... Next you'll be telling me I might run into Queen Guinevere as well.

He doesn't, actually, but I get the feeling he might like one as a present. He doesn't say no to things like that very often.

And ... I haven't actually asked if she's here. But some of his knights are. Gawain is one.

If I ever get the chance to meet him, I'll knit one for him personally myself. Right after I re-teach myself how to knit. [ without magic right right ]

That's still mental, really. And to think of Merlin in a place like this, without his magic... It almost seems a bit sacrilege, doesn't it?

It does, but he's made it all right, apparently. He's good at training others to heal, and apparently he's very well-versed in the runes that are for this city.

Did you take ancient runes at Hogwarts? I never asked.

I did. Admittedly, it wasn't one of my favorite subjects, but I got by alright. Are the runes here similar at all?

I can't tell you. The language itself is specific to Asgard, but I never took the course, so ... er, Hermione would be better for that, actually. She'd know. But unfortunately, I don't. You might want to have a look at them, though.

Sounds like fun.

[ said with that same prefectly tone that makes the Marauders ( sans Remus ) cringe horribly, like she's said something completely offensive. time to learn new things ]

Especially if it ends up being something I could discuss in great detail with Merlin.

[ ohohoho not gonna get over that for a while nope ]

[If it wasn't his mum, he would cringe, too; he doesn't, though, and instead listens with the same fondness as he actually does for Hermione.]

I'll bring the books by the next time I come over.

Brilliant. [ a beat ] Though I hope you realize this means I'll be expecting you to help me sort it all out. And-! Before you remind me that you never took the course, that doesn't mean you won't be able to help me find patterns and the like. You'll be reading Asgardian runes before you know it.

I hope I will. I'm certain it'll be much easier with your help, too.
