Hello, for those of you I haven't yet met, I'm Harry.

[The video footage is of a young man with messy black hair, one bottle-green eye, and half his face silvered over with old scarring. On the damaged side, he has a red amber prosthetic in place of an eye. In the background, there's a crow that periodically peers over his shoulder.]

The queen has tasked me to talk to every one of the Unseelie and ask for a memory of solidarity, overcoming great odds, or defeating a foe. With these, she can use it to create a better, stronger defence for a rebuilt Caer Scima.

It's going to take time to do this — at the very least, a few months — so there's no hurry to meet and I've the ability to get to pretty much anywhere in the Drabwurld quickly.

[He looks down at a bit of paper that's just out of sight; seems like someone made notes before talking.]

Sharing a memory is done through magic, it doesn't hurt, I won't look at anything you don't want me to see and I'll swear to that.

How's that?

[Rebuilding the castle? Awesome. Sharing things? Not quite as awesome.]

Are we going to get the memory back? [How does this memory sharing thing work, please tell him Harry.]

You don't lose the memory, you're just sharing it with me. Sort of like telling a story?

[He's still working on the best way to explain the whole process.]

[Magic's still new to him, but okay. Sharing a story. That sort of makes a little more sense than physically removing a memory but it just sparks a new set of questions.]

You said they could be memories of solidarity, overcoming great odds, or defeating a foe. Is one better than the others? [Because he kinda has all three, but he's already having a hard time sharing with people he does know. This? This is personal...but they all have to help somehow.] I know you said you're doing this for the queen but that's still a really big thing to give. Would you be willing to trade something for it?

I wasn't told that one was any better, but I think that the best thing to do is look at which one you feel is strongest and matches what you want best for the Unseelie and natives living in the new castle.

[Harry isn't too sure that's what Morla might want, but that's what he feels is right.]

Of course. I'm not wealthy, but I'm happy to charm something? Or to put you in contact with someone who might be able to get you whatever you'd want.

[Well that's definitely a lot of pressure thank you Harry. There's silence on his end of the line, clearly debating what memory would serve best. Considering what he knows of the Seelie forces and their goals? He has a very specific one in mind.] Got it. I think I know what you're looking for.

I don't think I need money right now anyway. [But charming…] How big of a something? [The fairy rings are nice and all, but how can he get places that don't have the rings? Is he thinking of cheating the system? Absolutely. Testing Harry's abilities? Also absolutely.] I want something but I don't think you could get it for me.

I like a challenge; ask and I'll see what I can do.

The fairy rings are cool and all, but what about if I wanna get somewhere that's not in their route? And not by horse. [A pause.] Or chocobo. Is there another way?

If you want unlimited travel, I'd suggest asking for it as a boon, but if you want a set number of pick-ups and drop-offs, I don't mind being a taxi service. Or I could make you a portkey, a charmed object, that will take you to a chosen place.

[Hm. So much for that.] A portkey...so I could ask it to take me to one place only?

I'd make you something and you'd have to keep it in a bag, but whenever you took it out and touched it, it would take you to one specific place.

I guess that could help. [A beat. Speaking of bags...] And unless you can think of a way to make my backpack carry a lot more than it does now, I don't know what else I could need right now.

[At least in terms of anything Harry can provide.]

Sorry, I know there's a spell for that, but it's not one I'm any good at. I'd offer to try, but when that sort of magic goes wrong, it can do all sorts of messy things.

[ And that's not something it would be wise to risk in the Drabwurld. You might put your shoes in the bag, and who knows what would come out. ]

[Man Harry what kind of wizard are you. There's a sigh, though it's hard to tell if Hiro's serious as he ponders that. Portkey or nothing? You can bet he'll take the portkey.]

Let's go back to the portkey thing and you've got a deal. How long would it take to do the trade?

[The real question is how long it'll take Harry to make a copy of Hiro's memory, but his way makes it sound more like he's in control, at least.]

If you can bring whatever you'd like for me to set as a portkey, I can do the rest in about half an hour. We can meet wherever you like, and if you're not sure, you're welcome to bring along anyone you'd like.

[ If Hiro has a wizard friend of his own that he wants to bring to supervise Harry's magic, that's perfectly reasonable. ]

[He hadn't considered bringing anybody, but Lemina instantly pops into his head especially given she knows a lot of his worse memories. Plus she's a magician. It might help.]

I'll get back to you on the plus-one, but you've got a deal. I'll let you know when I have some free time and we'll swap out.
