"You wouldn't disappoint your father with such weakness. You would think of something much more final than death such that Ellie would never want to see you ever again. You're much more cruel than that, if someone hurts you." Deul looked at Henry with a soft smile of someone whom Henry did know know had been watching him closely while he played in the water as a child.
Henry didn't know how to reach so he finally just shrugged. "I'm sure I would never harm her without good reason. She's not like the people who were around me back then."
Deul looked up the staircase longingly. "Is Ellie in any state to see anyone? I could just peek in on her to see that she's well. It's alright if she can't talk to me or is in a lot of pain."
