[The procedure goes like this: the centaur first traces the brand itself with a thin bit of magic, mapping the size, shape, depth, and magical nature of it all. Then he withdraws, hovering at a workbench and mixing....something. It smells like ash, and so the logic is there: dragon ashes remove these kinds of deep burns by filling in the dead skin.
But it still requires magic, and that's the tricky part. When the centaur comes back, it's with more forceful hands and a magic that works to the depth of the burn itself, trying to rebuild layer after layer.
It isn't a fast process.
Alucard stays where he is. At some point, Ellis walks in and flops down beside Dog. Nuzzling carefully.]
