HENRY
I was waiting for something extraordinary
but as the years wasted on...
but as the years wasted on...
Siri was clearly from Torchline. He didn't find the information very surprising, nor did it clear anything up for him either. If anything, it only intrigued him more. Of course, his self-introduction was quite simple but, really, Henry's family was one of the most well-off in the Grounds. They made a good living off of their livestock and had prospered over the years - and they were one of the few Grounders to manage that. Perhaps, in comparison to Torchline's richest, it did not look or sound as grandios...
Henry was a simple man, humble and uninterested in being any richer, for what it was. He was perfectly content with what he had, and that was a bit of the problem, wasn't it? He wanted to see things he never had before, but he didn't mind that his own backstory was... well, uninteresting. It left plenty of room for others to share their wayward journeys with him, instead. And anyway, he was far more concerned with the story that lay ahead.
So while she rummaged through her things, he gave the items cursory glances. The only thing that really piqued his interest was her weapon of choice, wondering what it looked like when she arced the bow and aimed an arrow at whatever sorry thing provoked her. Personally, he preferred something like a sword.. or maybe a glaive.
He looked down at the bottle and accepted it into his hand, though he did not take a drink. At her command, he turned and led the way as if he had some sort of internal compass, knowing exactly which way was the fastest and clearest. "What is this?" He asked curiously, gazing down at the bottle before taking a drink.
"Traveler, you say? I wouldn't mind a bit of that, myself. See new places, new things, meet new people," He mused, holding onto the bottle still. "What are you looking for? Adventure? A new life? Escape from a troubled past?" The last one was a tease, a quip at her dark and mysterious demeanor as he raised a brow at her. He frankly didn't care whether that was or wasn't the case, he just wanted to get to know her. So he moved on, "The Hollowed Grounds isn't much but, it's a safe place to rest until you're ready to move on. Except for LongNight, but, I'm sure you've heard of that already. Its reputation precedes it." He said it with a grim smile directed at her.
