We both weren't at our best, but I still feel I ought to say something for threatening you and trying to hurt you.

["Weren't at our best." That's certainly one way of putting it. Text hasn't really ever been Eric's favorite way of communication so he switches to video here.]

Considering that I was under his control, that is certainly one way of putting it.

[Harry shrugs. He's pretty sure it's still the polite thing to do.]

I just wanted to make sure there were no hard feelings.

You used magic against me. I got angry. I stopped you.

Look. I wasn't myself. For simplicity's sake why don't we just forget it ever happened. It'll be easier in the long run for everyone involved. Apologies and pointing blame gets tiresome in these cases.

[Harry nods and looks relieved.]

I think I can manage that. Thank you.

[Eric shrugs. He isn't proud of that time spent as Morgoth's 'hound'. He would like to forget as much as possible, if it's all the same to everyone else. Sure, he likes the winning part. But the being mindcontrolled into doing his bidding and doubting himself part... And then there was the bit where he used his memories against him, and really, that was not okay with him. At all.]

The deeds are done. Morgoth is dead. Let us move on from here. You don't intend on repeating the experience, do you? [He shoots Harry a look.]

No! Certainly not. I can't really think of a good way to help prepare you for other wizards, but if I can or do, I'll let you know?

There is no need. The next person who practices magic on me against my will shall come to seriously regret it.

[Is he trying to scare you? Maybe a little.]

[Yes, Eric is frightening, but Harry is used to people who are bigger and stronger than he is.]

The offer still stands. I don't really know you well, but from everything I've seen, you're a good person.

[There's a little gesture and he continues.]

Or, at least, you're more reasonable than most here.

[Eric raises his eyebrows in return to Harry's little end aside there. It is a correction that few would make, although perhaps Harry understands a bit who he is talking to here when he makes it. Still. It would not do to let him know that he's done well in a moment such as this. Although at least he has stopped the intimidation route for now.]

I will keep it in mind.
