[ Sunny is hardly the best person to give comfort since he has a negative outlook on his own life, but he is a realist when it comes down to it. He doesn't want to pry and all he has is how good Henry has been to him to go off of in this case, so.. ]
[ Henry takes a second to think of all the times kids who were not his sons have had to rely on him. Grant, Terry Jr., Nick, Paeden... Now Sunny, and the other young men he's met here in Folkmore. ]
Thank you, Sunny.
I'm glad that you feel you can rely on me.
I'm always going to try to do right by you.
[ Whatever shape that takes. He can only hope he learns from the mistakes he's made in the past, and doesn't end up making things worse just by being involved. ]
ty for not giving up on me like my dad did. i take a lot of patience and give nothing in return.
[ The more he's been bonding with Henry, the easier it is for him to talk about his feelings. It seems like he might be accidentally treating some of these friendships like therapists.
But at this point, it's a good thing. He's been avoiding help for so long now. ]
Hey, now that's not true! You give me lots in return.
[ Someone to focus his energy on taking care of. It would be so much harder for him to be away from his kids if he didn't have a kid to put all his dad energy towards.
—Not that it's entirely fair to either Sunny or Lark and Sparrow to think of one as a stand-in for the other. But... the truth is, it's hard for Henry not to think of it that way, at least a little bit. ]
If you weren't here, who else would help me take down Walmart? ;^)
