I'll jump from the cliff and I'll build my wings on the way down
Henry's bird brows raised at her question, not expecting something so serious to be in response to his joke. "Well-" he paused, unprepared, "I don't think it would grow back... A talon in this form would equate to a toe. But, normally, if you get injured, you revert back. That usually happens before anything gets too damaged..." He tilted his head at her, finding her question peculiar. Most Attuned were privvy to this, especially through first-hand experience of getting injured while in their shifts.
But then he realized she was new to Caido, and potentially new to being an Attuned. He straightened his beak and regarded her as she told him about how she felt. His eyes clouded with sympathy, understanding that she was probably dealing with a lot, internally. If she was the kind of Outlander Aisha was, she was trying to put up a strong front.
"There's nothing wrong with missing all those things you lost," Henry said quietly, omitting as long as you don't let it destroy you inside. His voice became softer, "I don't know if I'd be able to survive without everyone and everything I have here. In a way, I admire you Outlanders because of that. You're doing a lot better than I ever could..." He lifted his head, looking out across the ocean then.
And, for a second, he thought his eyes were deceiving him. But there it was again! A large, gray fin surfaced from the water, arcing towards their rock. "H-hey, Arialla...?" He stuttered, tensing his wings as if he might take off at any moment, "What is that?"
