Stay for a spell! Or how about a curse instead!

Henry's my name, curse slinging's my game! {Part of outrealmgates}

[bashful-dancer-deactivated20150]

"Hi crazy lady! What's that you're doing there, hmm? Anything fun?"

Olivia frowned slightly at the white haired male and shook her head, “I wish you wouldn’t call me that, Henry..!” she sighed softly and looked down at her hands, “I’ve..um… Well, I was just on my way to the river! I think I saw some some wild strawberries growing along there, before… And you?”

[bashful-dancer-deactivated20150]

Olivia nodded, unable to keep a small smile from her face. It was nice, she decided, to do something normal apart from all the fighting they had to do on a more or less regular basis. She was glad it seemed to be on hold for a while, though not everyone in camp felt the same way.

"Of course! It’s not too far away… Though I hope you don’t mind crossing the river?"

[ahexofastrongmage]

"Of course I don’t mind! A little water never hurt anybody! Besides if it was a problem we could like just borrow someones horse or something..Oh but that would be fun..Oh, oh but anyway lead the way!" Henry hurried to her side and waited for her to lead

Hungry like the Wolf ll Henry, Libra, Tharja

[battlefield-saint]

"I-I’m sorry…" Libra managed to apologise for Henry’s disappointment whilst trying to fish out the pup from the depths of the picnic basket. Fortunately (or unfortunately), Tharja’s comment about the sacrifices she had made for her physique went unheard by the priest. Even his usual sense of attention had been dulled by the pups’ overwhelming adorable auras. It was thus that the weakness of a man of the cloth who lived a strict life with the clergy was revealed to be corpse-eating wolf children.

[voodoobloodmagic]

Tharja swallowed the last bite of cake, watching out of the corner of her eye Libra and the pups playing. Wolves were creatures of darkness; they weren’t necessarily bad or evil, but they were dark creatures nonetheless. Libra seemed to be surprisingly comfortable with the puppies, and perhaps that was simply because they were babies themselves, but Tharja still found that intriguing.

"So I don’t believe I’ve ever heard the story of how you came to be in possession of two little wolf cubs," Tharja said, twisting her fork between her fingers. "Why don’t you tell us the story, Henry?"

[ahexofastrongmage]

Henry's discomfort was clear and sudden, but he still smiled nonetheless

"The story huh? Well sure..if you really want to know..."

"It happened while I was off talking to all the animals..I'd been out here in the woods for an hour or two by then. I'd done a lot of exploring, a little collecting, and I'd fed a ton of little animals, it was a pretty great day. While I was exploring though I smelled something. Blood of course, but there was something else familiar? Haha not that blood isn't familiar of course, something nostalgic..? Not the right story, anyway so I start looking for it because I want to know and I..well in some ways I wish I hadn't.  Anyway I found momma laying out in the open, shot up with half a quiver at least..Heh she sure hadn't wanted to go down..and to still have made it that far.."

Henry got quiet as the subject became harder to breech.  Death was normally something he was plenty excited to talk about, so it might have seemed odd that he was struggling as much as he was. 

"..I guess I might have been able to help her if I was..someone else...But I stayed with her, helped the best I could..I tried my best..I should just happy I could have done anything this time...it wasn't for long though and eventually she passed...

"But! That was when I found out her den was nearby. And I saw them, poking their little heads up. Haha I guess they smelled the blood and mom and thought she'd brought something home, they were just so excited...I'd been in their position before..I couldn't just leave them all alone like I was. SO I scooped them up, said goodbye to momma..left her hunters a nice present..and took them home, which was where you caught me Tharja!"

A Berry Exciting Trip ll Henry&Olivia

"You’d like to come? Ah, of course I’d be delighted!" Olivia exclaimed, rather happy that he was eager to join in this ‘normal’ activity. She’d found out before, but he wasn’t like she originally thought he was, and in fact, helpful.

"It’s a little while away… you don’t mind the walk, right?"

"Of course I don't mind! Walking, no matter how far, is just fine by me. Besides its not like we could just borrow someones horse or something..Oh but that would be fun..Ah but anyway lead the way!" Henry hurried to her side and waited for her to lead.

[ahexofastrongmage]

Henry & Panne

[velvettaguel]

Panne ran alongside Henry, stopping and looking into the tent as he hurried in. After a moment, she followed.

Kneeling down inside of the tent, Panne watched the pups as they crawled  across the sorcerer excitedly. It was a nice change to see animals like them after such a long time of the humans eating any animal they found.

"How cute. They do seem to like you a lot… And how long have you had them? They don’t look like they’re far from being able to go off on their own."

[ahexofastrongmage]

"..You know I dont really know..It seems like forever.." He looked down at the puppies, putting his hand over one while the other romped over to Panne's feet

"...I guess they don't look that far off, huh..I really ought to come out about them soon..before they're so old that they'll just make me send them away..Haha of course I think I'd go with them at that point! Haha...OH but yes introductions! Panne this beautiful doll is Claret and that little gentleman is Cruor."

Dissent ⎾Gerome and Henry⏌

[dragonmastergerome]

"Good." Gerome replied curtly, preparing to end any conversation then and there. 

Minerva seemed to have different plans, though. Noticing that Henry understood her almost as well as Gerome and Cherche could, she let out a small roar. Her large tail coming down and splashing in the water. Gerome took notice of this as well, and against his preference, gave Henry his attention yet again.

"It was hard for her to get used to… As it was for all of us who came from our timeline." He kept his reply short, more interested in his own questions. "You can understand her?"

[ahexofastrongmage]

Henry laughed at Minera's display, looking down while he takes off his shoes

"I thought it would be! At least they seem to be used to it now though.. Hm?"

He looked up, tossing his shoes onto the bank behind him and waded out ankle deep into the water

"Well sure I can! Enough anyway!" He closes his eyes, waling along with his arms out at his sides "I've always thought talking to animals was easier than talking to people, and I haven't found wyverns to be an exception! I like hanging out with Minerva, or well the Minerva from here. She's such a sweetie, and it looks like even in a whole other universe she still is." He grinned over to Minerva, kicking his foot up a little to make a splash too.

[ahexofastrongmage]

Piece of..Eclair? ll Gaius&Henry

[candiedthief-deactivated2014072]

To be honest, Gaius was actually relieved to see that Henry enjoyed it. Though, he never really doubted for a second that he would. Who could hate such a convenient treat? Probably someone who was allergic to sugar. 

"To relieve your curiosity," Gaius started, chewing on his pastry. "I guess I didn’t ‘bargain’ much, ha. The baker wasn’t watching his store so I managed to pull a fast one. Swiped it right underneath his nose."

[ahexofastrongmage]

"Oo how sneaky! Sure hope this wasn't his lunch, I'd sure be sad if I missed out on this." He giggled, taking another bite out of his half. "Mmm...do you steal ALL your snacks? Or just the especially tasty ones?"

[ahexofastrongmage]

Piece of..Eclair? ll Gaius&Henry

Gaius couldn’t help but pass an ironic chuckle himself. Henry’s reaction was actually quite amusing. The best part was that it was less creepy than usual.

"I have my sources," he responded in a nonchalant manner. "I had to ‘bargain’ quite a bit for this, you know?…But I figure that it would taste better when there’s someone to share it with or something cheesy like that." 

Gaius took a bite of his portion of the eclair, chewing it up and swallowing before releasing a content sigh. “Yep. That’s the stuff. If you like it that much, I might be able to snatch some more up later.”

Henry watched Gaius another moment, waiting until after Gaius started eating his half before trying to eat his own.  Henry took a bite of his eclair. He started giggling and had to cover his mouth to keep from potentially wasting the mouthful of tasty treat.

"This so good! So much better than Plegia sweets! I don't know what you bargained but whatever you traded off was so worth it!"

[bashful-dancer-deactivated20150]

"Hi crazy lady! What's that you're doing there, hmm? Anything fun?"

Olivia frowned slightly at the white haired male and shook her head, “I wish you wouldn’t call me that, Henry..!” she sighed softly and looked down at her hands, “I’ve..um… Well, I was just on my way to the river! I think I saw some some wild strawberries growing along there, before… And you?”

[ahexofastrongmage]

"Wild strawberries? That sounds fun! Can I come!" Henry grinned, rocking back and forth "I was just looking for something to do! I’ve been pretty bored without too much fighting lately."

[candiedthief-deactivated2014072]

"Mmm, something sure smells sweet~ What do you have Gaius?"

Gaius didn’t bother to glance up from what he was holding, as he had recognized the tone and the voice of the source. “A honey-glazed eclair, filled with a milder-tasting honey cream,” he answered. It was a bit of a shock how he wasn’t drooling yet. “Been waiting to eat this baby since a couple minutes ago.”

After a moment of thinking, the redhead tore the eclair in half, offering it to Henry. “Since I’m in a good mood, Chuckles, you get to have some. Eat up.” 

[ahexofastrongmage]

Henry gasped and scooted closer, taking the half of the eclair offered to him.

"Really? All this is for me??"

Henry looked at Gaius then down at the eclair

"I've never had an Eclair before, it looks almost too good to eat! Nya ha! Well, almost, it smells way too great to NOT eat!" he moved one of his hands away, looking at the glaze on his fingers before pushing a finger in his mouth.

"Where'd you get this!" Henry attempted to say around the finger in his mouth

[ahexofastrongmage]

Back to the Future - Henry + Soren

[ikesboyfriend]

Following Henry’s lead, Soren took one look at his bare dishes before returning his eyes to the sorcerer. "Absolutely. It could be my size, or it could be the amount I was used to eating as a child, but I have never been able to eat large portions… Thank you for the meal."

Soren could not help but wonder if Ike was in a similar situation at that moment. He pitied whichever soldier was stuck with the task of feeding him.

He nodded. "I would be grateful for a place to sleep for the night as well. I hope to find Ike before then, but.. I am sure he will be thankful as well. I hope there is something we’ll be able to do to show our thanks."

[ahexofastrongmage]

Henry got up, taking Soren's dishes and disposing of them properly. "No thanks necessary! I'm happy to help~ Alright though! I'll go get you set up and yoou go do what you want! If you show up here again at the dinner bell with him, I can take you both to your tents! Sound good?"

[dragonmastergerome]

Dissent ⎾Gerome and Henry⏌

[dragonmastergerome]

[ Retconning Minerva’s excitement since Henry is no longer Gerome’s father. Sobs. ]

With his mask safely upon his face once more, Gerome turned to face the sneaky sorcerer. It was clear he was angered by his sudden appearance, but he had no intention of speaking on the matter much more. He turned to return to Minerva’s side.

"That isn’t the point… You’re careless and foolish for interrupting me. Don’t do it again." He dipped the old cloth into the water, moving it over to Minerva’s back to continue cleaning her.

Minerva watched Henry curiously. When her master was angry, naturally she should feel the same way. She couldn’t help but enjoy Henry’s compliment, though. She grunted. Perhaps it was her way of saying she would take good care of Gerome as well?

[ahexofastrongmage]

"Aww. Well alright I guess. At the very least I won't sneak up on you."

He scooted closer to the water, watching Minerva with a smile, talking to Minerva "Yeah? I bet he appreciates that you do. I can tell you are an incredible pair.."

He looked over at Gerome "Was she weirded out? When you guys first showed up? I know I would be if all of a sudden there were two of me running around!" 

[ahexofastrongmage]

Hungry like the Wolf ll Henry, Libra, Tharja

[battlefield-saint]

Libra was about to respond to Henry’s delightful pun and Tharja’s irritated glare. But, his words were lost when the pups turned their attention upon him.

"Ah—th-that’s…" He stammered at Henry’s exclamation as he tried to pry his robe from one of the pup’s mouths, and used the other to scratch its sibling behind the ears. His cake went long forgotten. The priest’s attention was fully fixed on pleasing the wolves.

[voodoobloodmagic]

Tharja’s cake was half-eaten by the time Libra turned his attention entirely to the wolves. Watching the priest play with the puppies, Tharja rolled her eyes and had another bite, pretending she didn’t find the scene adorable.

"Well, I suppose we have an extra cake," Tharja said, setting down her fork. "Don’t offer it to me. A lot of sweat and blood went into creating my figure. Someone else’s sweat and blood, yes, but my point still stands."

[ahexofastrongmage]

Henry laughed and reached over, freeing the priest's robes from the tiny jaws of the puppy.

"I guess so! Although I didnt really want two..I guess I'll just have to hold onto it! Maybe eat it tomorrow..I dont get sweets too often, its just too bad I'd really wanted to share..but at least you like them! Thats nice!"

The pups yipped and barked as they climbed and fell all over the priest. One jumped to try and reach Libra's face but fell back down, tumbling into the picnic basket Henry brought.

[ahexofastrongmage]

Henry & Panne

[velvettaguel]

"I see. So you have others in on your little secret as well…" She closed her eyes, considering how trustworthy the two may be. She supposed it was no concern of hers.

"Hm. Very well. It couldn’t hurt to get acquainted now."

[ahexofastrongmage]

"Ah! Come on then! Come come!" He held Panne's hand and hurried away, leading her back to his tent.

-

It was not a far trip and soon Henry had led them back to his tent. "Here ok-In In!" He looked around quickly, letting Panne's hand go and scampering into his tent. He settled in on the floor of his tent, his puppies jumped from his bed, climbing all over him "I'm getting them ready still for their big reveal, so don't let them chew on you if you didnt provoke them..They ruined Auntie Tharja's cape and that's just not going to make a good first impression."

[ahexofastrongmage]

Hungry like the Wolf ll Henry, Libra, Tharja

[battlefield-saint]

It seemed he had been wrong again. Though the priest was not surprised at his failed forecast, he wished there was a way to placate Tharja’s displeasure.

"I would stop him from feeding the wolves cakes, but I don’t believe he would do such a thing to begin with…" he managed to mumble, mostly to himself. In other situations, he was fine with asserting himself, but the task seemed much harder in the sorceress’ presence.

Libra turned his attention to the three boxes, and smiled sheepishly in reflex.

"If the two of you wish to eat, please go ahead. I’m not particularly hungry. May I keep the puppies entertained in the meantime?" He declined politely, complete with a sideways glance at the pups who were sniffing at the boxes.

[voodoobloodmagic]

"You went out and bought us cakes," Tharja said, eyeing the boxes warily. "Let it never be said that you don’t take care of your friends." With only a small measure of hesitation, she opened one of the boxes, her body tensing as though she expected something to jump out at her. Inside the box was just a cake, and Tharja chuckled nervously. "It looks…good…"

She took the box she had opened and cut a small bite out of the cake, popping it into her mouth and chewing carefully. It tasted delicious.

"What, you’re not going to eat anything?" Tharja said to Libra. "Have some cake, at least." 

[ahexofastrongmage]

"Aw come on Libra just have a LITTLE cake!" Henry giggled, pushing one of the boxes toward the priest. "Get it. 'Cause its a little cake?"

One of the puppies caught Libra's sideways look and got riled up, hopping over to Libra, pawing at his legs and trying to bite the long cloth of his robes. Its sibling turned its attention to the sudden play and wiggled with excitement before letting loose a small howl and tromping over and onto Libra's lap.

Henry quietly beamed with pride watching the puppies, scooping up his own tiny cake "You sure do love them huh Libra. I ought to make you the godfather!"

[masterofthewinds]

Back to the Future - Henry + Soren

[ikesboyfriend]

"Ah…" he paused, having not realized he was smiling. He turned his head down as he finished his food, hoping to avoid embarrassing himself further.

"Yes… He is. I’m certain you will have the chance to meet him sometime. We were traveling together… So I’m positive he is around here somewhere."

[ahexofastrongmage]

"I'll have to keep an eye out then~"

He looked over at Sorens food then at him 

"Was that enough food? I could make you some more if you want? If not I should run off and try to set up your guys' tents! Or well I guess probably ask Chrom.." He shrugged, he probably wasnt even going to ask Crhom

[ahexofastrongmage]

Furriends ll Henry&Ricken

[theshortestmage]

Having little choice but to follow, Ricken was dragged to the woods with Henry. He tried to pull away, but it was no use until they got further into the forest and small animals scurried all around. 

"Oh wow! This is going to be so much fun!" 

[ahexofastrongmage]

Henry let go of Ricken's hand as they made it into the thick of the woods. All sorts of woodland animals ran around or flew about. Henry smiled looking around

"They sure are excited over the warmer weather! I can't blame them either. Winter may be magical, but I'll take flowers over snow any day~"

Henry hurried ahead, sitting down in the grass, cooing at the small animals and wiggling his fingers to try to tempt them closer.

"I can't imagine how people in Ferox live in winter all the time. Although I guess they dooo get all the cute little snow colored animals, so I am jealous there."
