there is a crack in everything, that's how the light gets in
Getting a better look at the man in front of him, Henry can see the way that life has toiled against him; the various scars that mark his dark skin, the strength borne of those struggles as he throws his hammer and catches it with muscles that ripple from the motion. He feels like he should know who this is, with such a lackadaisical yet powerful demeanor. It takes him a moment of thoughtful consideration to realize, at which his eyes widen. All of the bewilderment sheds from his expression. "Oh," he echoes, rather stupidly, "you're..."
Remi. A demi-god. For Ludo, no less. Also breaking some glass. Henry's gaze dips down to the bags and back up at Remi again. How is one supposed to act around a demi-god, he wonders, and begins to apologize, "I didn't realize you were... I'm sorry for interrupting-" but he stops when Remi offers him a go at it.
"Uh... well.." he's not sure what to make of this anymore, but he also doesn't want to refuse. He steps forward to close more of the distance between them, letting himself relax. "I could use some fun right about now," he admits, maybe a little too openly.
Feeling a bit of that familiar self-confidence creep back in, he holds out an expectant, calloused hand. "I'll need that, won't I?" He offers a half-smile and tilts his head down towards the hammer.
