So I chase the inbetweens of what I say and what I mean
Henry lets out an easy rumble of a laugh, which fades into a highly concerned expression when Neos goes on to explain what happens if a human goes into outer space without 'protection'. When Neos chuckles and says it could be a side project, Henry reflects his humor and shakes his head a little, "Well, we don't need to go to space just yet, I don't think. I like looking at the stars from right here, with my feet on the ground. You know?" He offers a reassuring smile.
But he pauses before continuing to let Neos speak. He nods in clear understanding, though the animal part kind of confuses him. Was Neos comparing people to animals? Henry didn't want to think so, but he's not too sure.
Well. Anyways, that's not the point.
"I think they're afraid of change," he points out, lowering his own voice too, "Hell, I like change, I want change - but I still get scared of it." He lowers his gaze thoughtfully for a moment, letting that sad truth ring through. "But what I meant was, you could do that. Explore, use your knowledge for something good here. If you wanted to use it for that, at least. I'm trying to get an Explorer's Guild started in Flowerbirth... you could join us."
But it's getting late and Henry's getting tired, as much as he'd love to continue their conversation. So with that in mind, and not wanting to apply any undue pressure to Neos, he adds, "You don't have to give me an answer right away. You can always find me later."
With that, he bids the other attuned a good night.
fin~!
