He was just hers, Lust finally decided to herself. There weren't any words to properly describe it.
"Thank you." She didn't draw back. As long as she was allowed, she was going to stay where she was, savoring the small contact between them. "You're lucky you didn't stumble into Henry during one of his berry-fueled recreations. He might have thrown things at you."
"Oh, there's a particular berry that apparently offers cerebral effects without the sickness." Lust just waved a hand again, dismissive. She wasn't going to mention that she sometimes partook.
"That's what Henry does for fun sometimes. He's some sort of artist."
Cerebral effects. Scar's eyes narrowed. He didn't care one way or the other about Henry, but he couldn't help his paranoid brain jumping to the worst conclusion possible.
"If it is, I suppose that's his choice, he's an adult. What does it matter? He just gets confused and paranoid, he doesn't cause any harm." Lust shrugged. It wasn't as though Henry were a danger to her.
"I suspect he does it for the same reasons I enjoy wine and chocolate - to help banish bad feelings and memories."
Everyone had them, and it seemed the inhabitants of this house had more than most. She doubted Henry was an exception, from what she knew of him.
