"I... I don't know what that is..." His tone becomes helpless, but he knows that it's just a metaphor. Shaking his head, he barely keeps himself from clenching his hands into fists. Not to be intimidating, but to pump himself up to be able to continue speaking.

"Right... you'll grow up one day." His chin nods. "But right now... you're still a cub. Still, I'll keep it in mind. I don't intend to worry about you when you're an adult." He offers a brief smile, before his lips slide back into its neutral line.

He met a child that would one day grow up to be a serial killer. But he didn't sense any violent or insanity from that child. Should he be unkind to that younger version simply because the older is a murderer? He doesn't think so. The kid was innocent and hadn't done anything yet. Henry isn't sure if it was the right decision to be kind, but he doesn't regret it.

But he doubts the situation is as dire as that one. To him, it sounds like a lot of people were filling Sephiroth's head with terrible ideas about himself. It made him a little sad. Someone should try to tell him that he's still growing and still allowed to make mistakes. Someone should say something kind to him. Doesn't everyone need that?

"Anyway... thank you for worrying... you're a real considerate cub." This metaphor is getting weird, and he decides to drop it now.
