Get it back.

You'll be able to get it back. I'm sure of it.

[spats]

You're optimistic about that.

[theboywiththebook]

Well, good always wins and I can tell you're a good person.

[Even if you didn't really break up with Asami first.]

[spats]

[ Hey, hey, he only just escaped her dad at the mansion. To his knowledge, anyway. ]

You don't even know me. [ — but it's nice to hear that. ] Be more careful who you trust.

[theboywiththebook]

[Ouch, thanks Mako. He's not stupid.]

I am...I'm just good at telling what people are like.

[spats]

[ No, he's — what, twelve? Clearly chock full of wisdom. ]

Yeah? I could be a crazy, messed up guy.

[ ... Well, he could. Said people don't usually give kids advice on how to look after themselves, but. ]

[theboywiththebook]

[Ten, thank you very much. And he so is! He's the only one who knows everyone in his town is cursed and fairy tale characters.]

Well if you were, you would have hurt me by now, right? And you wouldn't have said that if you weren't.

[spats]

[ Lucky bug. ]

Yeah, well. I could have a plan to turn into one of those nasty dudes my brother's always warning our friend about, the point is that you don't know.

What's your name?

[theboywiththebook]

Than why would you be telling me this if you are one them? You would have done something by now.

[Gotcha.]

Henry, you?

[spats]

I'm Mako.

[ And Henry gets a hand offered to shake so this is an official little meeting going on here. ]

[theboywiththebook]

Nice to meet you.

[He takes his hand and shakes it.]

[spats]

... So, Henry. You meet a lot of people this way?

[theboywiththebook]

Kind of. Though I've met more in a game I'm in.

[spats]

Yeah? Hope it isn't too dangerous for you there.

[theboywiththebook]

....Well....actually...

[It's Mayfield. It's going to be dangerous.]

[spats]

... I know that feeling.

[theboywiththebook]

I'll be okay. I hope you're in a safe game, though.

[spats]

Not exactly, but having friends around helps. You've got some too, right?

[theboywiththebook]

Yeah, I've been making some friends.

[HENRY HAS NO FRIENDS IN CANON! Kind of.]

[spats]

[ HENRY, THAT IS SAD. :( ]

Good to hear.

[theboywiththebook]

[Hey, being the only person in a town where no one gets old but himself is kind of lonely.]

What about you?
