Nanuk,

Nanuk? Nanuk? Did you get this? I hope you did, this “Chaos stamp” is a strange thing, but I am putting my trust in it to get this letter to you.  Anyways, it is Laxmi. Long time huh? Where are you out there? Still doing well for yourself? Still attached to your Bear Pelts? Or do you have new ones?

I guess I should tell you why I am trying now of all times to contact you. I got a letter from Grey Scale a month week or so ago. He said he was sorry for not contacting any of us and he would be trying to get a hold of you soon. I decided to try and write to you. How have you been this past decade? Anything interesting happen? Get any dates? Family? Foals?

Sorry. But anyways, I guess you might want to hear how I’m doing huh? After all I did kind of leave Mallard Creek on short notice. My Mother could not hold onto the Mining Company  she and my Father ran. I couldn’t afford to stay in Equestria, so I went home to help her get the company back on it’s feet. I don’t run it. In fact it is no longer in my family. We sold the Company nearly five years ago, I’ve been working as a Toymaker and designer for a small store in Indali. I truly love it, I love seeing the little ones all so happy when they play with my toys. Just the other day a Large Earthpony stallion came in with his filly. When she became overwhelmed by all the choices around her, he picked up a small cart toy and placed it before her. Then he stood behind her to block out the other shelves. She calmed down right away, and I couldn’t help but think of you.

Remember when you first came to Mallard Creek? Neither of us could really talk to each other well. I was still learning Equestrian and your accent confused me. It didn’t help you were so big and intimidating looking! And so quiet too! It helped that Grey Scale did as Grey Scale does and started chatting to you.

I’m reminiscing again, sorry! I hope this finds you, wherever you are Nan. And I hope you are doing well!

Signed,

Laxmi

P.S. Do you still collect food before the winter?
