Noo...

[Scary things don't scare Henry. Torture, zombies, threats, bloodied axes, ghosts, creatures in the night... None of those are anything close. But getting close to people is a bit scary. The word "bonding" itself feels like that, but he reminds himself it's not. He's not sure if bonding should even count, then; Henry maintains his answer, even if trailing off makes him sound uncertain. He is uncertain. He shakes his head.]

Just that I was prepared to go without, y'know? I had this whole plan in the works for blowing up, or whatever it is that Witches do, hee hee! I just hope that picking me is what you really want.

[ Makoto hums a soft noise, the intonation suggesting that he might have some unspoken thoughts about what he said. After looking away from the camera for a moment thoughtfully, he glances back, one blood red eye partially obscured by his long bangs. ]

I'd been hoping to go without, too. It didn't feel right to me. [ He's choosing his words carefully. He doesn't want to say too much about himself to someone who is basically still a stranger, nor does he want to cause that stranger any offense either. ]

..."Slim pickings," as you put it, that has nothing to do with why I'm asking you. You just seemed like someone who might be a good option. Someone who wouldn't take it too personally.

Oh, heck no. Especially if you're just gonna ask me outright without making a big fuss about it!

[Henry's smile broadens at Makoto's last statement, like it somehow eases all of the expectations and concerns he has about the arrangement.]

Since we were both thinking about going without, maybe we're meant to be birds of a feather, at least for a while. We can explode or go feral later on down the road, when we're even stronger and more unstoppable! But if you think I'm a good option, I'll do whatever I can to help you out.
