HENRY
I was waiting for something extraordinary
but as the years wasted on...
but as the years wasted on...
He let out a scoffing laugh, shaking his head. He sensed the curiosity in her question, which didn't bother him, but he did have to make another crack, "Sorry, I have to choose?" He wiggles mischievous, knowing eyebrows at her. The conversation likely could've taken up into such airy, light feelings, with the bounce in Siri's step and the smile planted on his countenance. Alas, all good things must come to an end.
The way he speaks so bluntly about LongNight has him reeling a bit, even if she didn't seem to show much sign of being perturbed. He brings a hand up to scratch his neck awkwardly, realizing he could've put things a little better. There's a sigh that's wafting out through his lips when suddenly she pushes the bottle into his chest, which hitches his breath in a soft 'oof'. The answer and gesture is unexpected and, even if it's not exactly the most heartfelt, he looks up at her with pleasant surprise.
He doesn't mind her inability to find comforting words. The look in her eyes is enough to make him feel a little better, a kindness in them he didn't think he'd see from her today. It's a small victory but, a victory nonetheless, so he offers her a small, reassuring smile.
"Suppose they should, shouldn't they?" He echoes, distracted, taking a deeper drink of the rum in his hands. He continues on to clarify, "I am actually going to be in Torchline for most of Deepfrost. Wessex - she's the.. uh, queen around here - wants me to be there. Gotta kickstart the explorer's guild, generate interest for it. See if I can recruit anyone. And, uh, keep myself out of harm's way, of course," he looks over at Siri and raises his brows in question, "Hey, would you be interested? You could be apart of it, if you want... you already travel. Could do that for a guild, instead of by yourself." He brushes his shoulder against hers, an encouraging nudge.
