...Sadde gestures for someone to open the door and walks in, kneeling in front of him and wrapping his arms around him.

Permalink

Henry turns his face away. "You shouldn't..."

Permalink

He kisses Henry on the cheek. "Don't tell me what to do."

Permalink

Well, he is crying harder now.

Permalink

That's okay. He can keep holding Henry for as long as he is welcome.

Permalink

After a while: "You... you should get back to work or something."

Permalink

He nods and lets go of Henry. "I'll see you later, then."

Off he goes. He leaves the cell door open.

Permalink

Henry does not leave. Presumably someone is going to close it.

And above all, he deserves this.

Permalink

It seems the Powers That Be disagree with this assessment, for no one comes to close it.

After a bit, a dwarf passes by and sticks their head inside. "Yo. You comin' for dinner?"

Permalink

"Okay..." Henry says slowly.

Permalink

Out the dwarf goes, then, not waiting for him.

Permalink

Well, he knows where dinner is served.

Permalink

Yup!

Sadde and Temperance are there, as well as a few other people.

Permalink

...Is anyone looking daggers at him?

Permalink

Nope. People are mostly ignoring him, and the few people who glance at him don't double-take or anything.

Permalink

...Maybe they don't know what happened. Henry certainly feels like he should be looked at dagger-like. He fetches his food and tentatively approaches Sadde and Temperance.

Permalink

Sadde looks up at him and smiles.

Permalink

Henry... sits, yeah, that is what he is going to do.

Permalink

Temperance looks a bit uncomfortable, but smiles.

Permalink

"Doing better?"

Permalink

"They let me out of the brig."

Permalink

"Yes, I know."

Permalink

Henry starts to eat like he expects to be kicked out of the table if he calls too much attention to himself.

Permalink

So Sadde and Temperance can resume a technical conversation about spacetime runes.

Permalink

Temperance is a bit subdued, but that is exactly the right kind of topic to distract her from the awkwardness.
