returning to his face. -I thought... I thought it was b-behind me now.- The redhead stammered.
-I can't imagine how hard it must be.- Draco put his hand on the animorph's shoulder and gripped it tightly.- I know this may seem heartless, but I have to ask. Describe exactly what you felt during the transformations...
-Enough!- Ari shouted, running up and clearly disregarding convention.- What do you think you're doing?!- He grabbed the dragon by the arm and tried to pull him away, but the reptile simply braced himself a little harder and didn't even flinch.
-... because this isn't the first time I've come across a description of something like this.- Draco finished, undeterred.
Ari stopped trying to pull the dragon by the arm, and Vi and Forth froze mid-step. Kei blinked in surprise, but it was hard to tell whose behaviour had caused it.
-You have? - the lycanthrope finally stammered. - But... Earl d-didn't find a-anything. Not even a m-mention.
-I doubt he looked in the dragon books.- Draco didn't want to remember how two years earlier he had searched for anything that would help him patch up his wing. Especially why he had to look for it. - More precisely, in old medical records. - He added, silently thanking his lucky stars that he had no scars left.
- What does Kei's situation have to do with dragon records? - Vi blurted out.
-That's why I asked about the transformation.- Draco looked over his shoulder at the dwarf.- I've already connected a few dots from what Ari told me.- He nodded towards the slightly confused elf, who was still holding his arm.- But according to these records, the most important thing is the transformation itself. If what Kei is feeling matches the descriptions in the book, there is a way to deal with it.- He wanted to believe that he hadn't given them all false hope.
-What...? C-c-cope?- The lycanthrope paled again, but his gaze remained focused. -I-it means... that I will...- He faltered, but a faint expression of hope appeared on his face.
