Of course I know that, that's why I don't know what to do! I can't just do nothing!

[He puts his arms up to gesture angrily back as he snaps, but then crosses them, scowling.]

It's not like Henry's like this for no reason.

[armoredsoul]

Of course he's not. We all know if things were different here this whole thing would have blown up long before now, and not because of our end.

[He sighs and runs a hand through his hair--need to get it cut soon, it's getting shaggy again.]

He needs us to be stable right now, not blowing up the same way he did.

[Envy's scowl deepens, but it's because he knows that Al has a point. Still, he unfolds his arms so that he can gesture sharply upwards with one of them. He's started pacing again, if only because he has to get all of this out somehow, and motion is really the only good outlet at the moment.]

Well we all know that stable isn't exactly my strong suit!

That's why I'm out here and not inside!

[armoredsoul]

No, really? I couldn't tell!

[Al stands where he is, watching Envy tromp back and forth in the little path he's stomped into the snow.]

You can yell and punch inanimate things and curse Walter's name all you like, just don't bring any more trouble home is all I'm saying!

[exeggutorhead]

Do I look like I'm about to go bringing anything else home?

[...Well. He kinda does.]

All the coconut scented candles in the world wouldn't actually stop anything from coming in the house.

I just...I have to do something, don't I? He's hurt.

[This is the hard part about having people to care about besides himself. This would never have been an issue before.]

I'm not going to go dropkick the Cubone, if that's what you're wondering.

[armoredsoul]

Oh, yeah, going running off for revenge is definitely going to solve all the problems here! Not like that never went wrong for either of us before!

[--wait, shit, he didn't actually want to bring that up. Time to reel that back in, uh.]

Look, just--focus on helping Henry recover for now, okay? He's probably got a lot going on in his head right now, and you and Heather are about the only people he'd probably open up to about it all.
