[ This letter arrives attached to the leg of a small bird, about the size of a pigeon. It's a very insistent creature, tapping on the window or the door to get noticed. It seems to know where it wants to go and will perch on some furniture, or an outstretched arm, if allowed. ]
Prior—
I hope this finds you well, after the recent unpleasantness. Are you still preparing for the coronation? And I'm sorry I couldn't do more about your leg. Perhaps my magic only works at the stroke of midnight. (Or is doomed to fade then? I don't remember how that story is supposed to go.)
If you have any more dire revelations about my past or future, I'd appreciate having them in writing. The devices they gave us seem a bit too much like a witch's mirror in a cradle tale— speak a name and it appears! It's quite terrifying. I'm spooked. And call me old-fashioned, but I like to have records I can burn.
— Fairy Godmother
P.S. Ignore whatever the bird might say. He is a bird. Birds are notoriously literal conversationalists.
[ Nash's handwriting is neat, looping cursive that doesn't at all resemble ancient runes. ]
