Hi Rae! I’m happy to have another newbie here too~ :)
As for Henry and Kong, the curiosity is definitely mutual. Henry is still relatively new to the supernatural, so he’s fascinated by all of this both personally and intellectually. I imagine this is doubly true for his fellow One-in-Ten performers since he sees their talents up close all the time now. He might occasionally be nosy about it, but Kong is welcome to tell him to buzz off. That said, he’s horrified by the idea of ritual blinding and probably couldn’t keep his shock and dismay to himself the first time he heard that story. He wants to believe that’s just to sell the act but he’s afraid to ask.
ANYWAY, these two have very different vibes (almost opposites?), so I’ll be interested to see how they play!
