[He had heavily debated on if he wanted to turn on the video feed, all things considered. His head was still pretty foggy and he was struggling to grasp the fact that he had disappeared for ten full days.

No, correction. He'd blown himself up on camera and then disappeared for ten full days. Urgh. How embarrassing.

He first took the time to sift through the messages left on his bracelet, baffled by the sheer amount of information (and slightly amused/unsettled. Davesprite what is wrong with you.) Then he realized there were several responses to his original message before the disaster struck.

…he was fucked, wasn't he? Alas, he knew he couldn't keep hiding so the best method was to be as nonchalant as possible. That meant showing his face whether he wanted to or not.

When the feed flickers on anyone watching will see a boy who looks sort of like he was hit by the Knight Bus. His hair's messy, there are bags under his eyes and there's the slightest hint of a five o'clock shadow on his chin.]

…hey. [Yes, Draco. After all this time, the most you can do is say hey.] Three things.

First of all, how many of you from that large influx of people are still here?

Two, what's the state of my apothecary?

And three, I'm in desperate need of an aspirin.

…oh, and four. If the gods would just allow for a little more freedom in alchemy…[He'll just grumble to himself.] I'm not done tweaking that formula, so I don't want to hear it. We're pretending nothing happened, understand? Just so we're clear.

I'll be here late.

Give me a couple of hours and I'll swing by, okay? I just need to take care of some other things.

Alright.

[And she'll be waiting on the front step in a few hours, with Dog!]

[A few hours later, as promised, he'll be appearing at the shop. It's a testament of how tired he actually is that he's walking instead of flying. He's showered at least, but he still looks a little worst for the wear as he steps off of the sidewalk up toward the front step. He only gives Dog a nonchalant look before his focus shifts back to Euri.]

...hey. I'm back. Obviously.

[Dog flattens his ears but holds back a growl as Euri stands, and proceeds to punch Draco fairly hard in the shoulder.]

Asshole! From now on you're not allowed to mess with anything dangerous unless I'm supervising!

[He flinches when Euri punches his shoulder, holding back the "ow" that he wants to say.]

Euri it's fine! It wasn't exactly that dangerous, I just looked away for a bit too long. Or I mixed it wrong. I'm not sure...
