It sounds like Ben and Henry are cut from a similar privileged cloth for sure. For all the good it did them in the end. Regardless, Henry appreciates anyone that's willing to accept him and likely sees Ben as a kind, approachable, reliable sort of fellow! But also quite daring because of his fire tricks and his big romantic escape from France, which I think he'd find pretty admirable. Don't mind him.
Looking forward to writing with you more on the convo post!
