[This shouldn't be broadcasted. This shouldn't be here. Gellert realizes, far too late, that he is being watched. The hour is late and his face is only lit by firelight, but there is a notable difference. Instead of two cool blue eyes, there is...one. The other is a dark brown - almost black. A look of anger crosses his features and he stretches out a hand, flinging his communicator across the room.

Somehow, it doesn't break.]

Du hast nichts gesehen. [You saw nothing. Understand? Good.]

What the hell happened.

[Don't ask. She finally figured out voice and sort of doesn't want Gellert seeing her at the moment if he's in that kind of a bad mood.

[Voice]

[greatestgood]

[The answer is delayed. Apologies, Li, he is feeling extra gloomy. But, eventually, mostly because it's her, he will speak:]

Nothing. A house guest turned on my... [He doesn't know the exact word for it, so he sighs harshly.] I should have left them in the wild.

Re: [Voice]

[li_amaranth]

[At least he's willing to answer her. As it is, Li's a little quieter than she usually is so, neither one of them seem to be in the best spirits.]

...Sounds like one bitchy house guest to do something like whatever it is they did.

[singinghuntress]

[Usually, Rip didn't care for posts like this. What she DOES care about is hearing her own native language spoken...]

Wenn Sie wollen, dass die Leute nichts sehen, dann lenken Sie nicht die Aufmerksamkeit darauf.

[That only made sense to her. If he didn't want people to see something, then don't draw attention to it.]

[greatestgood]

Dein Rat ist zu spät. Was gesehen wurde, wurde gesehen.

[The words are growled and somewhat distant. Gellert hasn't come to retrieve his communicator.]

Re: hover to translate...

[singinghuntress]

Offensichtlich. Denken Sie daran, das nächste Mal, da die Kommunikatoren schwierig sein können.

[She pauses for a moment to consider something.]

Ich höre unsere Sprache nicht oft im Netzwerk. Wo kommen Sie her?

[He doesn't actually mean to leave a response. For all his closeness with Gellert, he has no need to intrude on his own personal moments, especially ones that are of no relevance to him. Still, he sees, and the response is left.

The expression on his face is something like melancholy and familiarity when he sees the change.]

[greatestgood]

[By the time Albus has seen, Gellert is slowly retrieving his communicator. There is a faint hiss in the background and his lip curls.]

I will make you into potion ingredients.

[Then he sees the one face he hadn't wanted to ever -

His jaw tightens.] Good evening, Albus.

[video]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

Good evening, Gellert.

[He wears a wry expression, sympathetic and bittersweet. The threat doesn't bother him, and he seems unfazed by the words.]

My apologies. I did not meant to pry.

[enchantinglily]

Are you alright? Did something happen?

[Look, Lily is in her human form.]

[Video]

[greatestgood]

I'm fine. [Only he's not and likely never has been.] Nothing new.

[His Glamor is back in place, causing both of his eyes to be the same color.]

Re: [Video]

[enchantinglily]

But you didn't sound or look fine. You seemed upset about something. And your eye was black.

[Luna sounds honestly concerned.]

[Video]

[liorafae]

[Liora isn't sure what she saw...but she's certain that she saw something.]

What...what happened...?

[Video]

[greatestgood]

A cat made a grave mistake. [He runs a hand over his face, aggravated and, yes, scared.]

[Video]

[liorafae]

I...see.

[She still sounds uncertain, but if it's just the cat, everything's okay, right...?]

[Video]

[petergraham]

Your eyes...

[Peter says something before it sinks in not to ask.]

[Video]

[greatestgood]

Strange, aren't they. [He tries to sound flat, but his anger bleeds through.]

[fashionably_strong]

[Bulla doesn't want to make him more uncomfortable than his accidental post has probably already done, so she focuses on a simple solution.]

If you're uncomfortable with having heterochromia, you could try coloured contact lenses.

[Video]

[greatestgood]

My eyesight is fine and I have Magic at my fingertips. Putting a Muggle invention into my eyes does not excite me.

[Bulla, you sweetheart. Gellert is just a gigantic grump.]

[Video]

[madcuriosity]

I'm sorry, sir, but I don't know German. I know French and Latin, but not German. Is everything alright?

[Video]

[greatestgood]

I am not in distress. [Just desperately unhappy that one of his scars has been shown.] Do you want a cat? She has made a right pest of herself with me.

[Video] | Not nearly as late ICly as I am OOCly... ;;

[riddlemehiss]

How frabjous, Wizard! We match!

[While heterochromia isn't technically something he's stuck with, it's definitely an option and therefore totally the same thing by Cheshire Cat logic.

...he's trying to help. Definitey not really.]

[Video] <3

[greatestgood]

...do we? [Cheshire, you're cute, but this is not a happy topic for him.] Your eyes aren't always like that.

[video]

[draconixaviarix]

[That was...haunting. It gave her chills, but she was very alarmed]

Gellert?

[that was his feed? Yes? Yes.]

Gellert, are you okay?

[video]

[greatestgood]

[He can do without all of these complications, but he also needs the allies he has made to remain allies. So he finds a way to calm his temper as he gathers his communicator.]

I'm fine. Cats can be mischievous. The one I took in turned on the feed.
