HENRY
I was waiting for something extraordinary
but as the years wasted on...
but as the years wasted on...
Well, Henry's wearing a thick pair of fleece-lined gloves, so if Aamu's hands are very cold, it's not something he notices. Even if he did, it wouldn't matter much to him. After all, he was trying to be an ally of sorts to the Ascended and the Voice. Which made this all the better.
"Aamu," so repeats Henry, reflecting on the name he's never heard anywhere before. It held an interesting tune, something historic or even.. otherworldly. Far more interesting and thought-provoking than Henry's own, at least. "Quite a name..."
Bluer eyes might narrow at his darker hued gaze (and other places) but, Henry is not easily perturbed by looks and expressions alone. Sure, he's self-confident, knows he's good looking enough, but he's completely unaware in that moment that he's being {sort of} checked out by a 350-year-old dude. That's a compliment... right? Gotta be.
"Well, for starters..." he steps back and looks over the forge with interest, but what he actually says first might come across as unexpected. Now that he's here, he's not exactly in any hurry to get what he came for and leave. "Tell me more about yourself. Where do you come from, Aamu?" He raises his gaze back at Aamu questioningly, and of course he's not intending to sound like he's interrogating the man. Yet, this is Henry's home - always has been, and he's never seen this guy in his entire life. He's pretty and striking, too; a very memorable face. So... Henry's curious, if nothing else, and they may as well get that out of the way.
