sacrifice what you are for what you can become
Henry's gaze shifts, looking a little guilty, as Aamu closes his eyes. Even if it's brief, it's still a symptom of the conversation being more stressful than anything. Is there really a point in talking about it? Everyone dreads what's coming. Perhaps, Henry tells himself, I should learn to just shut up.
"The important things are always dangerous..." Henry mutters, half-hearted - as if he hates to admit it. In fact, he does hate to admit it. But it's the unfortunate truth of the matter.
He nods shortly in response to Aamu's reasonings for getting the sword to him sooner than expected. "I... hadn't thought of that, to be honest," he says awkwardly, scratching a spot on his head. The leather materials are presented and Henry is glad to hand them over. "Sure," he offers a smile even if it's a little stiff, tacking on a swift, "anything that might help."
"I suppose I should be going, then, leave you to your work..." He lets out a sigh and suddenly thinks of something, "I'll be back before LongNight but, in case I don't talk to you before then... Good luck." It's grim, but it's genuine.
