Henry gets to ask the practical questions. He’s the straight man in this encounter, likely much to his frustration. The years as Callum’s caretaker may have given him an unreasonable expectation that being around Adventurers isn’t as chaotic as the stories described. And then Kaylin showed up followed by the fake archmage, and in rapid succession ‘normality’ fell apart.

… The reason I say all this, is that with Kaylin handing out Adventurer gear and now Callum crafting it, there’s a very real chance that Kaylin’s bluff doesn’t have to be one at all! There can indeed be others ‘like her’ (to a lesser extent) to back things up when she isn’t around. So I REALLY hope that, as a longtime associate of Callum, Henry will get SOMETHING for himself so he can have a little more confidence amidst the world-shaking forces that are now part of his life :p
