HENRY
I was waiting for something extraordinary
but as the years wasted on...
but as the years wasted on...
Henry eyes her when she admits she didn't have to use the shift he'd given to her, but he's not upset about it. Especially when she says she'd taken it to King's End. This prompts a small, knowing smile to his lips and he lifts his head, to look up towards the dark sky. "I'm glad you didn't need it after all," he says simply, adding on, "the eagle is a proud animal. Much better for exploring and hunting than... fleeing. How did it feel to you?" A release, he calls it, but maybe she got something different out of it.
His ghost of a smile leaves him as he gives her an answer on where he's staying. It's not home, and it's not exactly great, but it's a bed; a warm place to stay, quiet, left-alone. It's all he could really ask for at this dark time in his life. A place to process in peace.
"I'll need it," he sighs heavily at her offer, "but I am not sure... what I'll build in its place. I doubt I can even run a farm on my own. My father made that pretty clear..." he shakes his head, the buzzing of a nearby bee catching his muted attention. It floats closer. He puffs out a breath of air and watches as it hovers away from the pressure.

nothing ever did
