<sub>[Henry is used to killing monsters. Monsters. Horrible, eyeless fleshy things that stumble through dark passes on claws and stumps and enormous scary man hands.]

[Scar is a people. So he manages to catch the recluse's wrist with ease. The pressure makes him drop the basket and let out a loud croak of pain. It's then that he notices the big X across the man's face.]

[Oh no. Oh no oh no oh no.]

[If only it were a monster.]</sub>

I--I--

[Clarity dawns on Scar's stony face after a moment.

And then it dawns on him that he doesn't actually know the strange reclusive man living in the homunculi's house as anything other than-]

Banana Man.

[Scar's tense posture eases, but that doesn't do a whole lot for the giant factor.]

[no_ufo_ending]

I'm sorry, I-- I thought--

<sub>[Henry's face loses its color as literal years of being socialized come crashing down around his ears. This interaction had landed him in the Done Zone SO fast. He can't believe he nearly beaned one of his housemates' friends. That he'd try to bean anybody in this peaceful world. Who was just standing at the fridge.]

[His socks start slipping on the tile as he tries to backpedal. Boy his wrist hurts.]</sub>

[envy_the_sinners]

I did not think anyone was home.

[Anyone but Lust, for that matter. Scar is still stony-faced as ever when he says-]

I apologize.

[He turns back to the fridge, this time opening up the freezer to find a bag of frozen peas for Henry's wrist.]

[no_ufo_ending]

Me...neither.

<sub>[The color is returning to his face, though now it's scarlet. He feels like such an asshole. He wants to melt through the floor like one of those horrible ghosts back in the Otherworld and never return. Ow his wrist.]

[He gingerly reaches down to collect his weapon, still whole and able to fight another day. Perhaps against a real threat.]</sub>

[Scar removes a bag from the freezer and reaches for a paper towel, wrapping it before offering it to Henry. He glances down at the other man's weapon of choice with a cynical frown.]

You ought to at least be using something sharp.

[SCAR MAYBE HE DOESN'T WANT TO KILL ANYONE.]

_{[He puts the basket on the counter and takes the peas obediently.]}

I'm...going to go. Okay bye.

_{[Henry proceeds to crab shuffle sideways out of the kitchen and around the corner and down the hall where NOBODY WILL EVER SEE HIM EVER EVER AGAIN oh holy fuck he will never hear the end of this.]}

[envy_the_sinners]

[Scar only stares in mild bewilderment as Henry flees the scene.]

Good bye...

[Luckily for Henry, Scar doesn't plan to tell anyone.]
