HENRY
I was waiting for something extraordinary
but as the years wasted on...
but as the years wasted on...
Henry only realized he might've been out of line when he saw the look of hesitance on Samuel's face. But he let the question suspend between them without taking it back, giving Sam the chance to speak for himself. If it was too personal, he could've just said so and Henry would know better than to ask him things that were a little too much. But instead, the man answered his question with a very interesting explanation, making Henry wonder if his experience as an Ascended was something he might like to talk about. Henry took another hungry sip of the tea.
"That's an interesting take. I can see how it could be beneficial," he licked the flavor that clung to his lips, "like going to the Climb isn't as hard on you. I probably couldn't take the heat," he let out a soft snort in amusement, "and it's probably good that you can't tell how I smell right now." A long day of staying in constant motion didn't exactly do any favors for his body odor.
Henry blinked. "Yeah, I guess it's just kinda dangerous everywhere you go. There's always that risk that today could be your last," he raised his brows at the thought, as if to wonder how he'd feel if today really was his last. The word 'unfulfilled' came to mind; a life wasted by not doing everything. So that was it, then. He eyed Samuel at the question, ready for it, and a soft smile tugged at one corner of his lips, "Yeah. I think I will. 'Adventure lies ahead', Samuel, 'without it, I'd rather be dead'!"
~fin.
