Summary
Freshly freed from Maleshov, Hans can't seem to get Henry's well being out of his mind, and it's killing him that no one else seems to care.
When Henry comes back from the Jewish Quarter, trembling and exhausted, Hans takes it upon himself to look after his errant squire, even if it means he has to learn a bit of alchemy to help Henry get a decent bit of sleep.
(Maybe, along the way, he can figure out just what it is he's feeling for the man, and why it hurts to be apart.)

“We were just on our way to Maleshov to parley with him, ensure that you truly were alive and well.”
“Well, thanks to Henry, you didn’t have to parley,” Hans replies, but the words feel cold in his mouth. Thanks to Henry, but Henry isn’t even here. Henry didn’t even get a moment to breathe before being sent off, yet again. To the very den of their enemy.
His chest aches, bitterness blooming in his heart like the slow spread of frost across clear water.
