sacrifice what you are for what you can become
Henry lets out an easy chuckle at her approval and admiration of his improvisation. "The shifts are gifts to help you, right? Might as well make the most of them." There were so many instances that Henry had to shift into an eagle in order to more effectively do something. When tending to the sheep on his family's farm, the shift helped to ward off other predators and the vision it granted made spotting them all that much easier. If he ever had the need to hunt or find something, the eagle was there for him. He's incredibly confident, as well, that he will never have a need to fear heights ever again. "When you have them long enough, it starts to come naturally, like second nature. You learn the strengths and weaknesses, what they're good for - and what they're not." He shrugs, smiling contentedly.
For all of his confliction in regards to the Old and New Gods, Henry would never not be grateful for becoming an Attuned. Not that he'd had much of a choice at first but, now, he doesn't know what he'd do without the eagle.
He tilts his head and his smile wanes as she trails off and wanders out towards the ocean. He wonders what she's 'in fact'ing about but, he's content to wait and find out. So he seats himself along the sand, plucking through the basket to find a piece of string and begin to tie it through the broken spyglass. This decoration will, perhaps, be his favorite. As he works, he continues to glance up and see how Arialla is faring.
