"Bruder?" Samuel snapped his fingers in front of Henry's face, pulling him out of his daydream. The blacksmith shook his head, setting aside the axe he was forging, "you offered me a tour, remember? Unless you've got something better to do."
"Sorry," Henry muttered, stretching his stiff shoulders and back, "I was thinking about hammering something else on this anvil."
Samuel narrowed his eyes, "you'd better be talking about a sword."
"Aye, something like that," Henry said with a chuckle. At the look of disgust on his brother's face, Henry shoved him playfully, leading him out of the forge, "I'm joking. This place was pa's pride and joy, you think I'd bring any old wench here?"
Sam caught sight of the familiar yellow pourpoint and red hood drying on the clothesline. He glanced at Henry slyly, nodding, "aye that's exactly what I think."
Henry walked him around the outside of the forge, sharing stories about Martin, hoping it would help Sam feel closer to him. Several times, Henry noticed his brother wiped his eyes, his emotions getting the better of him.
He led Sam through the kitchen, towards his private bathroom, keen to show Sam his work. However, the room wasn't quite as empty as Henry had first thought.
"Oh, at last..." Hans exclaimed in relief from his position in the bath, tipping his head back in satisfaction; laid out beside him where several wineskins and a plate of delicacies. It didn't take a genius to work out what he had in mind, "do you have any idea how horny-" it was then he spotted an embarrassed looking Henry and mortified Sam who wanted nothing more than to run away. Hans frowned, pointing in their direction with a wet hand, "what the fuck is he doing here?"
Henry glanced apologetically at Sam, stepping towards Hans to whisper forcefully, "I thought I told you to wait for me upstairs!"
"And I told you I don't take orders," Hans replied, not even bothering to whisper. Sam, who was looking anywhere but at the bath, began inching closer towards the door. Hans leaned as seductively as he could against the tub, "you'll have to make me."
Henry shrugged, forgetting that Sam was still in the room with them, "well, it wouldn't be the first-"
"Anyway," Sam said loud enough to interrupt the annoying lovebirds, gesturing at the door, "thanks for the tour, Henry. And for telling me about Martin. But I'm going back to the den," without further ado, he turned around and left, muttering on his way out, "at least it'll be quiet there."
Henry smiled sympathetically, resting his hands on his hips as he looked down at his lord, "that wasn't a very nice way to talk to my brother."
"Oh for fucks sake," Hans rolled his eyes impatiently, replacing his wine goblet on the side table, "fine. You win. I'll send him flowers, give him an estate, I'll even fucking knight him if it means you'll take your clothes off," Hans poured insincerely, "happy?"
Henry rolled his eyes, deciding it was the best he was going to get as he started slowly undoing his buttons, "you'll be the death of me, Sir Hans."
"The feeling is mutual, blacksmith's boy," he answered with a cocky smirk, reclining back to enjoy the view.
