The idea is excruciatingly tempting. There isn't a doubt in his mind Kell will be able to do just as he claims, will somehow be able to pinpoint Harry's exact location and take them there directly. There's no telling if Harry's in any danger, but there's every possibility given what he and Kell have seen today already.
"Yes," Sirius says, a rush of breath as he crosses to Kell, reaching for him with his good arm.
It's only when he's close enough to really see the look on Kell's face that he stops. The pitch of Kell's voice registers then too, quiet and hesitant, steeped with dread. It's a sincere offer, but one that comes at a great price. Kell has told him once already that his powers, like his blood, are finite. Require replenishment. And there's still a streak of drying blood smeared across Sirius's shoulder, not to mention the amount spilled in the fight itself.
Letting his arm fall, Sirius shakes his head. "No. No, we'll--" He pauses then, frowning as he considers the option. Then, "Let me take you somewhere safe first. Back to your treasure room, perhaps? Then I'll go looking for Harry and Kieren myself. I'm not so injured I can't do that."
