Simply Moving Forward
After the fight with Irene, Henry excused himself and went to his study for much of the day.
It went on like that for days where he would attend practices but he held himself together a bit better. He realized he had been acting too familiar with Irene and maybe it had frustrated her enough to be upset with him.
She was someone who didn't like being treated differently than the other knights after all. Even though he thought they were forming a friendship, perhaps he had misread the situation.
Yet, after he demanded her respect, he felt terrible at the way she said she couldn't talk to him. After all the times she told him he could talk to her, he had thought it was reciprocated.
Unfortunately, it didn't look like he was going to be able to get to the bottom of their issue.
