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.

The letters are a good idea. Not everyone does it, but I've gotten a few before, from friends who have gone.

Anyway, when did you want to meet?

That's a very lovely idea, Mr. Potter! Also, I'm happy your parents came to Asgard... oh ah... unless that's... not a good thing?

do you really think the letters are a good idea? i am pretty sure they would just make people feel worse

[ Okay, so - maybe she has literally just lost someone pretty important to her. ]

[Robb's been avoiding talking on the network since Arya's disappearance--the wound is too raw, too fresh to expose right now, even just to tell others that she's gone. This is the first time in days that he's actually using it, and Harry's advice sounds...not all that bad.

He smiles, ruefully, before he speaks.]

I have to admit, it's a better idea than what I had in mind.

... you really think they'll find their way back? Like- they'll just fall in the warp stream or something?

[Despite the flippant tone, there's something to this. ... she knows what letters can hold. But that's if they get there.]

[ ... LILY DOESN'T KNOW HOW TO PRIVATE MESSAGE PEOPLE VERY WELL UHHH like she went to Harry's name specifically but seriously this caught her attention because it's really thoughtful, but also- ]

Merlin, really?

But how will the letters get there if they're in another universe? That doesn't make sense!

Writing letters won't bring them back. [ Her tone is cold, and bitter, and a little annoyed. How stupidly optimistic of you, Harry. ]

Letters? Just...write them and keep them?

Letters...?

[She never really thought about it herself, but--]

...Maybe I'll do it, too.

[There's a lot that can be said here, but it's probably best to be said as someone other than Draco Malfoy. So who does he want to pretend to be today...]

Two questions for you in regards to your suggestions. First of all, what if the owl couldn't find who you were looking for? What do you do with an unsendable letter? And secondly, why exactly do you think it would help rather than be a hinderance?

Letters, huh…? [An interesting thought… He immediately thinks of his friend, who had died back home and suddenly shown up here.] For things left unsaid or something?

[His gaze hardens a little as he recalls the recent ghost activities.] Is this all because of those ghosts?

[And of course, pinged by training.] Hey, it’s good to see other people being serious about training! What kinda power did you get?

Letters? It won't work for some.
