Henry and his ma

He's a growing boy!

"You don't need us anymore. You're all grown up."

Bronchitis was keeping me down this past week, but like everything that tries to destroy my whimsy, I prevail.

In celebration, here is more Houndry and his ensemble of close relations.

What makes a Soulmate? - Chapter 1 - tigereyes45 - Kingdom Come: Deliverance (Video Games) [Archive of Our Own]

This is a gift I wrote for @wheel-of-whimsy for the KCD Gift Exchange hosted by @kcd-exchange.

Summary:

In a world where souls are reincarnated and can only regain their memories of past lives upon touching their soulmate, Henry's parents set out to help him with the man they believe to be Hans.

Preview of the fic:

“Your pa’s soul is a glutton,” Sara jokes as she sets down a plate of cookies covered in homemade icing in front of the eighty, and seven year olds.

“Wasn't it strange?” Samuel asks, his gaze turned towards Martin and Sara.

“It can be in the way that all new relationships are,” Sara answers, leaning close. She runs a finger over the soft icing of the top cookie. With a grin she playfully pokes Samuel’s nose. The boy rolls his eyes and folds his arms trying to look serious. As Sara turns to do the same with Henry, eight-year-old Samuel wipes the icing off his nose and licks it.

“How many soulmates can one person have?” Henry questions, wiping his nose clean before licking all the icing off the palm of his hand. Samuel grabs his wrist and wipes a towelette across Henry's palm. Henry doesn't fight him. He seems perfectly content to let his brother clean his hands.

“Who knows?” Radzig asks with a shrug. “Maybe a different one for every life.”

“Really?” Henry asks, eyes wide with surprise.

“Then what does being a soulmate even mean?” Samuel asks as he moves on to wiping down Henry’s fingers.

The two don’t seem to notice the collective look their parents share.

Anna leans in close now, on the opposite side of the table from Sara. “I know what they say at school, but do you know what I think?”

Both of the boys lean in closer eyes wide and ears pricked up, ready to be let in on a conspiracy.

“I think soulmates are made.” 

“What?” Samuel looks skeptical. Why wouldn’t he be? Schools don’t teach such ideas on the subject of soulmates.

Alright, I’m trying to write something from Radzig’s point of view, but I’ve hit a wall—I cannot for the life of me find the name of Henry’s mother.

Yeah, I get it, the game is told from Henry’s perspective. But come on—you’re telling me that the woman who raised him, the woman Radzig cared enough about to keep close (as cautious and calculating as he is), the woman Martin married and built a life with… doesn’t even get a NAME?

We get Martin’s whole backstory. We know he was a blacksmith in Skalitz, we know how he came to be there, and how loyal he was. But Henry’s mother? This poor woman gets nothing?

I’m not asking for a full lore dump, but a name would’ve been nice.

If anyone has ideas for period-appropriate names that would fit—especially Bohemian or Germanic ones from the 15th century—I’d really appreciate the help.

Someone's who's day has become infinitely better: "Look! Henry's come to see us!"

What is a baby? IDK never seen one oh well.

Army Dreamers MEP - Part 5 - KCD & KCD2 (Kingdom Come Deliverance 1 & 2)

The theme was bittersweet memories and there are so many to choose from in both games.

More work doodles. I think there should be more Baby Henry out there. And 100% more Ma content too.
