sacrifice what you are for what you can become
Belril's hesitance made Henry start brainstorming ideas of his own. He was still listening, of course, but the gears in his mind were turning. Perhaps they could make this location work for Belril's gardening even through the Deepfrost. It depended on if they could protect the plants efficiently enough.
"So you don't want it near the settlement, where anyone can easily see it. Okay... I can understand that," He nodded slowly, looking out across the field, "that makes things more challenging but, I'll still you help you. As long as you know that this field isn't exactly the safest conditions for a garden. Even if we do come up with something, it might get messed up by a passing animal - or person. So there's no guarantee whatever we try will work either way." He glanced at Belril's face for his reaction to that information. In Deepfrost, animals would be hungrier, more willing to invade human areas or break through barriers in search of food. Henry knew that far too well, having lost many sheep to hungry predators in the wintry months of the year. "You might consider a backup plan in case things fall through..."
