[While Genessia has more than its share of benevolent dragons, leave it to Gellert to find a truly vicious one. The crack of what sounds like a whip accompanies the bellowing roars of the beast well. Gellert might look like a hero, silhouetted as he is by the dragon's flame, and he certainly seems unfazed by all the fuss.

But then he laughs and the sound is unnerving.]

Now, now, is that necessary? I just need a little blood. You won't miss a vial or two.

[He brings out the Elder Wand and he raises it, slashing it viciously through the air and...

Through the dragon's hide. Any blood spilt is drawn, with another quick spell, into a waiting flask. Of course the dragon doesn't like that at all. Gellert Apparates, bringing his audience along on a dizzying ride over the treetops, with the dragon in hot pursuit.

He shifts towards the mountains, where the cold air leaves frost on his audience's view. Then the communicator turns and Gellert is grinning wildly, madly, diving down into what looks like a mountain cavern.]

Wasn't that exciting? [With his feet on the ground, he ducks into the cave and brings out the spoils of his battle.] It is so very hard to acquire dragon blood.

[There follows an audible thump and he looks up.]

Poor thing. They want to bury me in here, is that it?

And what greater good comes out of this?

[greatestgood]

I have the dragon blood and I will use it to break curses.

Re: [Video]

[enchantinglily]

What curses?

[greatestgood]

That is private. I have agreed to help and so I will.

[enchantinglily]

Help who? Li?

[greatestgood]

She is one of the cursed, yes.

I'm glad you're helping her, but I still believe there were easier and less harsh ways to get what you needed.

[You'll have to forgive her. After befriending dragons and being stuck as one for a little bit, she's not taking it well.]

It's done. I can't redo it unless you have a Time Turner handy. [Even if she does have one of those, he won't change his actions. He's a stubborn ass.]

[enchantinglily]

Fine. I'll drop it. [Even if she's obviously still not happy about it.] Are you alright?

[Rolling his shoulders, he nods after a brief pause.]

I can heal myself.
