Lysander raised a brow, wondering if he wanted to know what could be more surprising then what had already been said but sat down all the same.

Henry rubbed his neck nervously. ”Now, I know she's meant to be your Eternal and I respect that, but she showed me a vision of me and her saying ”I love you” to each other.”

Charles placed a hand on Lysander’s shoulder to keep him from reacting badly. ”I’m afraid not, my girl. Having two Eternal’s is like having two soulmates. You can love two people but you can not be in love more than one person.”

Charles gave her a sympathetic look. ”You’re an Oracle, so you're a special case but if you need time to discover for yourself, then we can give you time.”

”He doesn't mean turn you, Betty, he means that you can spend time with both of us if it’ll help.” Henry explained. ”I know I can be patient and Ly is usually more so than I am on a lot of things.”

”Of course I will.” both Henry and Lysander said, at the same time before staring at each other in surprise.

Henry was the first to break the awkward silence between them. ”Wow. That's the first time we've agreed like that since World War Two.” he snickered.

Lysander gave a weak smile and a small nod at the reminder. He hated remembering past battles like that but that was the most recent time the two of them had gotten along. ”I…” he sighed and looked at Betty. ”I don't want to make you feel like you have to live in a gilded cage with me. I can wait for your decision.” he agreed softly.

Henry laughed. ”Go ahead. It looks better on you, anyway.” he smiled.

”Don’t think this is going to cancel your trip, Henry.” Charles reminded him. ”But I may consider shortening the duration of it.”

Henry was surprised by the sudden gesture but soon returned it. ”Hey, I said I’d stay in touch while I was gone.”

Lysander tried not to react as they held each other, though his stomach did churn a bit uncomfortably as the small weight in his pocket felt a premature gift.

Henry smiled at her as he, regrettably, pulled back. ”I will. I promise.”

Lysander felt a small bit of hope at her calling Henry her best friend but kept a calm expression, not wanting to impose on their brief goodbye.

”If you're ready.” Lysander smiled bigger and nodded, happy she thought of his house as her home. ”You may want to hold on to the hat or you could lose it.” he cautioned.

”You two take care of each other.” Charles advised as he left.
