[ she preens happily, pleased that her explanation worked. success at being a person! weee! but when henry poses his question she tugs her shirt back down, smoothing it across her stomach. ]
I haven't decided. I don't think I'll be very useful at the castle though.
Me either. I mean...I'm not a healer, so I can't help injured people that much, other than getting things they need, but I figure there's plenty of other ways I can still help, and I want to.
[ And Henry's sort of just...a fixer, in general. He needs to be doing something, at least. ]
What are you gonna help out with here?
[ Everyone has different strengths and talents in this sort of situation, after all. ]
[ Henry will...try to help with the emotional stuff, he tends to be pretty good at that, but this on a completely different level. ]
I can move beams, but I'm gonna try to help with the emotional stuff. I like talking to people, and they seem to need it right now. I might as well try.
You are very good at talking. [ she means that as a compliment, smiling a little bit. ] Maybe you can help me. I failed the class where I'm supposed to seem normal.
[ He definitely takes it as a compliment. She's quirky in a good way. Or at least...a way he finds adorably amusing, in general. ] Sure, I'd love to help. I think you're...pretty normal, though. [ Ok so maybe he's exaggerating a little just because he hates to say otherwise. ] I mean, with just a little guidance, maybe. Sometimes.

Oh yeah, of course. Maybe we could do flashcards and stuff? [ He's trying to be funny, but really he has no idea what he's doing. ]

Sure! [ leans over, she put her hands on his shoulders and kisses him on the cheek.
and then abruptly... turns and bolts off.
maybe, um, how to end a conversation politely should be the first lesson. sorry henry!! ]
