there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in
Henry lifts his posture a bit to better look at Remi as the man draws nearer, smiling softly in return - though his not exactly happy, either. Perhaps it's meant to comfort the other; to soften the blow of the cold, dark reality they live.
"'The Gods work in mysterious ways'," Henry pipes up to mock that familiar sentiment. "I've heard that they can twist things if you're not clear, to a point where what's been asked is hardly answered," he shrugs one shoulder, "it's... why I've never really asked them for much. Well, much else. Afraid, I guess, of something unintended happening. I've also heard great things, though, seen them too." He sighs, unwilling to decide.
He nods in consideration, "It wasn't a choice after all, then." To bargain for a friend's life? No, there is hardly a choice in that. Remi did what he had to do, and Henry can at least respect that. "I would have done the same thing," he says quietly, resigned.
Curious now, his brows tilt upward and he asks, "Did you follow any of the other heralds before you became... 'tethered' to Ludo?"
