    Summary

    Hynce first found out about Henry when he was eight years old.
    He didn’t mean to pry into Father’s private belongings, but while browsing the contents of the bookshelves he came across a prettily painted wooden box and, well, he couldn’t not open it.
    It contained a stack of letters penned undoubtedly by Father’s hand.
    All started with: “My dearest, Henry”

    ~***~

    Hans's son spends years reading unsent letters from Hans to a mysterious friend named Henry.
    At last, he decides to set off in search for him.

    Summary

    “Daydreamer,” Gnarly says eventually. “You found a moment to slow down and it all hits you. I like to keep busy for that reason. Sir Jan was always the one to think. I like action.”

    “Me too,” Henry says.

    “We have a lot in common,” Gnarly says, but doesn’t elaborate, not one for more words than strictly necessary to bring about his point. He scrapes a thin shaving of pale wood off the block in his hand, a curl that falls to the ground and reminds Henry of Hans’s hair after a bath.

     

    After his terrible fall, daydreams of Hans blend with the memory of their fight at the pillory, and Lord Semine and his guard captain begin to look a little familiar to Henry’s hazy mind.

    Summary

    “Tell me what you need,” Hans says again.

    Henry is quiet for a few moments. Outside, someone walks through the courtyard carrying a bucket of water that splashes out onto the dirt floor. Once the person passes, Henry says in a whisper, “Could you press it? With your hand. My back, I mean. My lower back.”

     

    Hans finds himself needed, and makes himself useful, one night at Trosky. A story inspired by the Bad Back negative perk.
