Did you ever think it might be your fault?

Alan, I had told to not bother Hank. Addie, he picked up and dropped from high enough to kill if I hadn't gotten lucky. Mab was poisoned by someone else and he 'helped' by turning the poison into something else dangerous.

Explain how that is my fault.

Wait, these aren't even new things, are they, and those people aren't your children? Never mind. My diagnosis: asinine.

New things? Addie he attacked last night, and they don't have to be my children for me to care.

...what.

That is not at all why I mentioned it.

Maybe if you didn't harp on relentlessly about these things, he wouldn't be provoked to do them. I believe you've been posting about Hank for at least a week now, either in relation to your son or just general woe is me statements. Consider letting other people decide for themselves rather than convince them of the opposite by your incessant whining. Consider, in other words, shutting up.

I might. I doubt that will stop him.

Who do I have to kill?

You should stay out of this or you'll be next.

Who's doing the attacking?

Hank.

For a minute there I thought you meant someone serious. Mab can crush him with just a thought if she wanted too.

She says she's tried to kill him.

If you can't kill them. Trap them.

...if only. I don't think I could do that.

It's easy, take off his legs and his arms and even his head and bury around the planet.

And how would that happen?

I'm not magical but get someone to rip off his limbs with their mind or something.

I couldn't. I don't know about anyone else.

Maybe it's worth asking.

Possibly.

Don't look at me. I just got here.

I know who did it.

Long as you know it wasn't me. I ain't no thug.

It's not, you're fine.

Aight then.

Everything is everything.

...what?

You know. Everything is everything. Means that it's all good.

Oh, alright.

By whom?

Hank.

If this is true. These actions were certainly not unprovoked.

Alan, possibly, but that doesn't make it right.

Addie, he flew with and dropped. Mab was poisoned, and he changed the poison into something radioactive.

I agree, but a man will respond if provoked.

I don't know who Addie is so I will not speak on that matter.

Finally, If Queen Mab was poisoned. This was most likely an attempt to help her. Almost everything is radioactive, as long as whatever he changed it into was less harmful..

Addie I know wouldn't have 'provoked' him.

Not enough to be dangerous. What he did to her was. He could have done what I did and removed the poison.

Henshaw's abilities rest in the sciences. Most likely he transmuted whatever the poison was, into the easiest substance that would be less harmful, without completely removing it.

You must realize how Hank operates. He rarely simply removes a problem you have. He makes it possible for you to fend for yourself, while shifting odds in your favor. You cannot fault a man for trying to help.

What has occurred between you two? You used to be so close.

He could have removed it. He's more powerful than I am.

I don't know what happened. I did nothing to cause it. I don't think I should care.

Indeed he could have, but we both know thats not how he operates, Norrin.

I suppose I've heard all I needed.

Sensui bows his head and heads off.

If he was trying to be so "helpful", tell me, why did he choose cobalt? Why not choose something genuinely helpful like, oh, I don't know, calcium? It had one purpose and that was to be malicious.

I can't believe there are more people are saying he was right then there are thinking he was wrong.

All it is, is hero worship and denial.

Or they are afraid.

... I can understand that.

If they're afraid of anything, it would be of losing him as an ally.

Or him attacking them next. ... I still don't understand what I did to set him off.

Sensui stops still with his back turned.

Again, I would assume that route was simply easier. If he wanted to harm her, he would have.

Do you fault him for trying to help?

Turning it into cobalt was not any easier or harder than turning it into calcium would have been. Why are you so quick to make excuses for what we're practically showing you?

No excuses. I've only stated facts, and made an assumption when my opinion was asked.

Here is a fact, Henshaw was trying to help Queen Mab.

You're an ignorant piece of shit. He had no intention of helping her and in pretending to do so, convinced morons like you of his altruism.

Sensui stands calmly.

I'm sure your mind was made up before you even knew the situation.

I am convinced of nothing. If new facts arise to sway my decision I will hear them. Nothing yourself or Norrin has stated is relevant, and now you result to name calling.

I am once again disappointed.

He heads off.
