[There's a boy with white hair, quite obviously rather young however, staring with eyes blue and wide, a curiosity coursing through him as he peeks through closely. There's a moment where he seems quite anxious, as if he's unable to speak, but as he pulls back, it passes fast, a notable smile blooming suddenly on his face. The video shakes from his apparent bouncing, peering into the locket with nervous excitement.]

Hello! The name's Jack Frost, and if you can hear me, if you can see me—I really hope you can see me—please say something, anything, really.

[Fifteen years and he's only ever spoken to another spirit or two. Oh, how he longs for conversation! To be able to hear responses to questions, laughter towards his jokes, anything to let him know that he's heard, that he's seen.

He lifts a hand, hesitating for a beat before a small wave of frost lifts from his finger tips and he blows it forward. A hearty laugh soon follows, quite pleased with the act.]

I don't know much about what's going on out there, but I've got a huge stash of ammo for the best snowball fight you'll experience in ages. Heck, we can even go ice skating or sledding! We'll slide down hills or even mountains of snow. Anything goes.

[His smile grows ever wider with talk of his plans, a slight excited laugh escaping him as he continues to gaze with delight.] Look, wherever you are, it doesn't matter—I can get you one of the best snow days of your life. You'll have a blast. I promise.

Whoa, hey— [It sort of clenched at Jack's heart to hear that. Even if he probably couldn't understand what Maglor's gone through, he couldn't bear to leave it at that.]

You shouldn't. Lose that hope, I mean. It's gotta be tough, but things get better. [They have to.] That sort of thing won't be easy, but you can't just say no to a good ending right off the bat. You gotta keep it together, Mag. It's possible.

[Though Jack was definitely still young, still hopeful. It was still too early for him to really understand.]

Oh Jack - such a great heart you have. There is nothing left for me in my world saving only this - that my loved ones are safe and well. I no longer have the strength to hold hope for myself, only for them.

[ For them, I would do anything ]

Geez, if you're not gonna have hope, then I will for you. For both you and your family. Got it?

[Naive as he is, he's seen things like life and death, sometimes more than he wants to that he'd rather believe in the best side of it.]

Great heart [ he murmurs softly ]

Thank you, Jack.

[He sighs, but smiles slightly.]

I've got your back, Mag.

For your kindness to an old ellon I thank you. May you know joy, Jack. And if ever you have need of me, you have but to call - I cannot promise to come immediately, but whatsoever aid I may render is yours.

[And he smiles even more earnestly now. Because he's never had anyone at all to rely on before.]

Thanks. I'll definitely keep that in mind.

[ A small quiet smile ] Go in peace Jack, and may the stars light your path.
