[ This video feed is focused mostly on a Lancelot's dog, so all that is really seen of him is his hands holding her still. She's terribly curious about it, but he's restraining her from licking it or chewing it.

His voice is distinctly tired, and anyone who is paying attention will notice that you can just about see a line of red, raw skin on his wrists -- leather guards covering how heavy the damage might be. ]

Is anyone good with names? I'm afraid my friend here has gone too long without one. She's brave, curious but cautious, much cleverer than I am...

[ She's also turning to nudge his hands. He lifts one gently and pets at her ears. She squirms a little, shakes her head -- then makes a quiet, high-pitched sound and...

... hiccups a tiny fireball. The dog's ears flatten back, perhaps unhappy or apologetic (maybe embarrassed, it wasn't very elegant) but Lancelot just huffs amusement and strokes her again. ]

Forgive me, I almost forgot, it seems these -- [ He reaches out of the frame and his hand comes back holding a small, blue feather. ] -- have some kind of magic in them. It appears it does not discriminate in who it grants it to.

[ Which means he now has a small, magically inclined dog. ]

Thank you for your time.

[ Oops.

His hands snap back away from the dog and he examines his wrist-guards, tries to work them down a little further. ]

Thank you for your concern, I will be fine.

[ She looks apologetic almost instantly, leaning into the camera. ]

I'm sorry, I didn't mean to point it out -- I just... I could help. Really. I have potions and my spells, but it's fine. If you'd rather I didn't that's okay too! I was just wondering.

[ Lancelot audibly takes a shaky breath, and his dog turns further toward him -- clambers into his lap and licks at his fingers.

There's a moment of hesitation before he reaches out and draws his locket over, tilts it up. There are cuts all over his face, and there's some mixture of wariness and regret in his expression under the layers of exhaustion. ]

No, forgive me Hermione. Your offer is made out of kindness, but I fear I need more than healing magic can offer.

[ Hermione's eyes widen and they flicker over his face quickly; she has no idea what had happened to him but it aches and she wants to reach out and help him, to fix him up. She isn't sure if any of her potions or spells would be able to repair this, but... She wants to try and help. Her heart aches with it.

She leans into her own feed before her cheeks go pink. ]

That's - it's alright, really. I'd help if I could but if you don't think it's possible then... That's alright too. Does it hurt? I might be able to help there, at least.

[ Yes, it hurts, but he's a knight. He can deal with pain. ]

I am well enough to ride, thank you. I should make it to Caer Glaem soon enough and I am sure the physicians will help me then. I would not want to make you go out of your way, I am far from anywhere and the lands are dangerous.

I can apparate, you know? That means I can teleport anywhere as long as I can picture it in my mind. Just - just so you know. It wouldn't take me too long at all, if you did want it.

[ He considers her a moment, turning that over in his head. The terms are unfamiliar, but he thinks he understands the concept she is trying to express. She can move between places with magic. Like the fairy rings move people. ]

... There is someone I must meet with first, but... I promise you, if I still need healing later I will ask. Will that suffice?

Of course. There's no time limit on my helping you, I promise.
