As Ekkehardt speaks, his thinking follows along the same line as Peter's. It's not a good thing but curses can be broken. Blight doesn't have a cure. No matter how much more terrible this seemed, there was hope.

He breathes a sigh as the magic works. The pain of his arm ebbs a little and it shows in his face. Even with the lingering effects of that shop making him look more gaunt than usual. "Thank you," He says, with full sincerity, whether Ekkehardt's done or not. "For this, the short notice, everything. I'm still looking to repay you someday." He speaks that little warning with the ghost of a smile before he returns to the central topic here.

"So we just need to figure out the curse and break it." Probably not half as easy as it sounds. "Would you know any particular person who could stop Peter's Tío without... hurting him?"
