[Trouble finds Gellert quite easily because, let's be frank, he looks for it. But the problem is - trouble tends to have teeth and claws and, well, he is a man that bleeds. Thus the deranged Wizard - he will agree to that title, by the way - is coughing up blood when the video begins. That can't be a good sign.]

The dragons sought revenge. [So he has dueled with a great beast and...lived. It's rather spectacular.] I need a Healer and quickly if you don't mind.

[He is back in civilization, somewhere in Fayren, his back pressed against the wall of a shop.]

[He doesn't move an inch, needing the contact; all of it. A small gasp follows the soft touch and he leans in closer to kiss Albus firmly.]

I'm as stubborn as you, darling. Death will have a hard time catching me or holding me. I will find you. Always.

[Albus accepts the kiss with a soft sigh, returning it warmly before pulling back with a tiny smile. Running his fingertips over Gellert's cheek, he answers:]

That much I know is true. You would never go down without a fight.

[greatestgood]

Don't be angry with me. [He murmurs against Albus's lips, giving him a lighter, quicker kiss.] I want to be here with you. I won't jeopardize that again.

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

I'm not angry, love.

[And he isn't. He is terrified, more than anything, and it makes him harden more than mere anger could. Albus accepts the kiss and looks at Gellert with soft eyes, unwinding a little at the promise.]

All right. I will hold you to that.

[action]

[greatestgood]

Are you sure?

[He narrows his eyes, teasing Albus a tad, before he kisses the man again, peppering his lips with affection.]

Do I need to make an oath? I will swear it to you if you like...

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[Albus accepts the kisses with a soft sigh, running his fingertips over the side of Gellert's face when he's finished. With the tiniest quirk of a smile, he asks:]

What sort of oath would you take? How would you swear it?

[action]

[greatestgood]

[Considering the various oaths he knows, he finally chooses one, stroking over Albus's lips with his thumb.]

Bind me. You will know the spells I cast and when.

[action]

[chambermusicandtenpins]

[That surprises Albus a bit. He had been idle in his words, and then Gellert makes such a serious proclamation, and it gives him pause. Albus hesitates a moment, running the idea over in his mind.]

I did not mean to ask to spy on you, darling.
