[The feed will click on, but it's mostly showing a brick wall of an alleyway at the moment. It's moving pretty erratically like Draco's trying to fix something and he's working with his hands. Granted, it's not like he actually knows how to make things work and he has no idea how to use muggle tools, so it's mostly just a lot of banging around until he finally caves to address the city at large.]

Now that that's over...[That is to say, if you want to talk to him about what happened with Thiazi and the corrupted, don't. He's not up for it at the moment save for a few close people.] I might actually need help with something. Only if you understand methods of mechanics.

[Give him a moment to flip the camera to reveal a motorcycle that a friend left to him. Said-motorcycle looks as though someone took a baseball bat to it. It's dented, one of the mirrors is missing and the front wheel is removed from the bike all together, propped up to the side somewhere.] How the hell do I put this back together?

Additionally...[And then he stops. Nah, he's not going to bother mentioning anything about the shop, or about people from home, or anything that's happened in the last few weeks. He's going to stay off of the radar as much as possible in terms of those topics.] Well, never mind. That's it. [And with another bang as he fruitlessly tries to hammer out the dents, the bracelet clicks off. Draco seems to have a talent for ignoring anything he wants to.]

Sturdy and useable. [He nods and cracks his knuckles. Leo is already thinking how to repair the bike.]

Got it.

I'd say I can do that and won't take too long. I'm up to level two in my power now. What I need to fix it I can just sketch.

I might have someone else fix it and then ask you for a few upgrades, actually. You seem to know what you're doing.

Alright! That's cool too. Gives me time to look up a few more things. In fact, you've been here a while. Any idea how magic and technology mix here? I sorta have a friend I want to repair that needs both.

Well, real magic obviously doesn't work here, but there are certain ways you can--[Hold it.]

...hold on, I'm sorry, did you just say you have a friend you want to repair?

That's right. Want to see him? ...what's left of him. He's just a head but, with this power might be able to rebuild his body like I couldn't before.

Why do you have someone's head? [That is yes. Yes he wants to see.]

I got it from the apples. Chill, it's not a person's head. [He pans the view to the far side of the room. Nestled in soft fabric is a mechanical dragon's head. The teeth are made of drill bits and the bronze gleams in the half light.]

See?

He had an accident.

[Well, he got the snitch from the apples. Why wouldn't someone else get a head? But when Leo pans over to show him Festus' head, his eyes widen briefly.] ...it's...a dragon? What do you mean the dragon had an accident?

Yeah, Festus the dragon. [He pats Happy the dragons's head, and holds both his hands up.] Dragon fall down.

[He tips his hands down making a spiral pattern with one finger and cue mouth made explosion sound.] Go boom.

I attached him to something else back home. Guess the gods thought I could use having him around again.

So you're actually going to reconstruct the entire thing here? I'm not sure that's possible.

Hey, if anyone can do it. I can. If, I can't, I'll find some other way to power him so he can see again.

[He built the Argo 2 in a year, as much as he doesn't understand a lot of Festus's hardware, he should be able to reproduce what he saw and experienced while fixing him.]

I'll never know until I try.

What's so special about a metal dragon anyway?

What isn't special about a mechanical dragon?

At the end of the day it's still just a machine.

Whoa. No. Festus is more than just a machine, like anything built by the kids of my dad. They're alive, sorta.

He has a brain all his own. It just switches on and off, instead of being on all the time. Comprende?

So does a lightbulb, but you don't see them acting independently. [No. No comprende. He's more magic and spells and less machines and formulas.]

Man, you're not getting it. Okay so, you know how golems work right? A magical construct that thinks and moves on its own?

I suppose so. Your dragon's one of those then?

I didn't build him. Someone else did, eons ago. I just gave him a repair job. But yeah, he's pretty special like that.

...if you ever get him put together, let me know.

Sure, I'll give you a bracelet ping. Anyway, once you got the bike up and running, let me know!

Believe me, you'll be one of the first.

Cool. Anyways, got to get going. Natives need their stuff fixed and reforged.
