He shrugged lightly when she connected the dots that Raven had basically told him that she was the devil in flesh. "I didn't exactly ask for that conversation. She forced it on me...and she really hates you." Though, he had a feeling that she knew Raven's thoughts on the matter. Honestly, he didn't understand why everyone couldn't play nice. He didn't realize being a part of Tet's pack would enlist him in such drama. He had enough troubles in his own life, the last thing he wanted was to be drug into more drama just because he was forced into it. It wasn't his idea and if he had a say in the matter, he'd talk to whoever he wanted and be done with it.

Henry watched as the little minions went off to catch crabs, happy to have something to do other than listen to two adults yap about things that really didn't concern them. When she mentioned that he probably knew Tobias was the twins' father, he shook his head lightly. That was one of the things that Raven was so quick to tell him. He had a feeling it was to ensure that he hated Nadya or something like that.

He listened to her story, nodding at appropriate intervals. "Don't use it on me...I have enough relationship problems as it is." His boyfriend was alive...and he had slept with someone else while he thought his boyfriend was dead. Malia hadn't asked for a relationship and even if she did, Henry wasn't going to give it to her. Sterling was his soulmate and there was nothing else to say on the matter. He still had to figure out how to tell Sterling about the affair...knowing it would surely break his head. But was he in the wrong? He thought Sterling was dead?

Henry had to try to clear his thoughts. Now was not the time to dwell on his own relationships. He needed to try to at least focus on what Nadya was saying. A lot of it was hard for him to understand. He didn't know the people she was talking about so it was hard to follow the line of thought. But he was quiet, listening anyway and trying to make sense of what she was saying.

When she finished, he wasn't sure what to think. Truthfully, he found it petty by everyone involved. Henry was a clean slate and he didn't necessarily fault anyone. It was a hot, fucked up mess and truthfully, Henry didn't want any part of it. "It sounds like a fucked up mess that I was forced into. I don't give a shit about why you all hate each other. I'm simply trying to make the best of my circumstances. Unfortunately, Tet is the only one who can help me learn...so I have to at least pretend to care long enough to learn." He had to stop himself from saying that he had to learn to control himself. He wasn't dumb â€" at least he didn't think he was. He knew that no matter how good her intentions might be, Tet was right about someone using his inexperience against Tet. Right now, he couldn't let anything happen to Tet â€" he was the only person who could help him learn to control his feral side.

However, she started talking about some putting him above everyone else and Henry just didn't feel like that was possible. He was the new kid. He couldn't even control himself â€" there was no way he was good enough to be an heir to the pack. Did he want that? He wasn't sure. "There's more people better equipped to lead than me. I'd rather just be a shadow in the corner." He had no desire to lead a pack or ruffle feathers or continue some petty disagreement. He just wanted Sterling...and he wanted the two of them to be happy. Was that too much to ask?
