There are dragons in this world.

[ Captain Obvious's voice is heard before the feed even finishes turning on. Zeref himself has always been rather camera shy, so he's not actually in the feed; instead, it's being broadcast from the library, again. There's a few books open, on the table, all of them about dragons. ]

There's no shortage of information here about them, but I can't find anything about Dragon Slayers. At least, not about the type of mage. [ A bit about people who have killed dragons with swords or bows and the like - a ridiculous idea in the context of his world - but nothing about people who literally eat certain elements and use that power to kill dragons. ]

I don't suppose any of you have encountered one?

It may be a bad reason but-- it's still...a reason.

[ Yes, and Wendy sort of curls back a bit. ]

W-War...?

I don't want to see war.

[deathsought]

Most don't. But rarely is it our choice.

[tenkuunomiko]

I see. The world is very complicated and people are also very complicated.

[deathsought]

More than anyone seems to realize, I would say.

[tenkuunomiko]

Yes. I see.

[ her sad smile doesn't falter. ]

I should let Zeref-san attend to Zeref-san's matters. Thank you for telling me about everything.

[deathsought]

Of course, Wendy.

{ Somehow... he really enjoyed that conservation. Every bit as much as when he speaks to Lucy, because she at least tries to understand him, without letting the label - and by extension, the stories and legends - of the Black Wizard get in the way of that. }

Don't hesitate to contact me again.

[tenkuunomiko]

[ Wendy did too. She learned quite a lot about the Black Mage with an open mind. ]

I will not. Thank you again, Zeref-san. Please be well.
