Henry had a cocky grin on his face as he strolled through Hyperion, knowing that the moment anyone tried anything he would have a justifiable excuse to take his pound of flesh. Unfortunately Bonesword had things under control right now, so no dismemberment. Yet. Some random civilian threw a rock at Bonesword and Henry caught it, about to throw it back way harder until Bonesword spoke up.
"I've got everything under control. Don't make the situation go sour." Henry clicked his tongue and frowned.
"Why do you care? They're just some jackass humans." Eventually they made it to the main building where Bonesword attempted to get someone to open the door for them.
"Nifty. Say, do you know how to get out of here? I'd just go through the door, but this one is surprisingly shiny, and they might get angry if I destroy it. There's some buttons, but I'm afraid to press them." Henry's smile returned as he prepared to bust the door open.
"Don't worry about it, I'm happy to go through it." Unfortunately his fun was ruined when Eos summoned everyone directly to her.
"Oh hey. How ya doing, it's been a minute since we've talked. And by a minute I mean about a day, when you threatened to wipe me from existence." He really shouldn't be snarking off to his new boss already, but he just couldn't help it.
This was usually the part where his boss would frown, shout angrily at them as they had failed miserably in killing or taking whatever, then somebody gets killed because death meant jackshit in the Nexus. However Eos actually praised everyone, excluding himself. She praised them for bringing him over, which was really weird. He raised a hand during one of Eos's pauses.
"Is it normal behavior on your part to praise your subordinates? That's not really normal in Hell, I'm kind of trying to get a feel for how this works is all." Then Eos turned to him.
"Nevertheless, it's not prudent to trust a defector so readily. Thereby, I'm placing you, Henry Avaritia, on probation. You'll be placed under the watch and command of the most suited unit for this task. The only who won't be afflicted by any attempts of corruption that you may try to do, in case your intentions aren't genuine, by this I mean that Bonesword shall be the responsible for your fate within our ranks. Conversely, your actions will influence his fate as well." Henry shrugged, made sense. At least from a sense that Henry couldn't corrupt Bonesword, he could still absolutely wipe the floor with him. Hell he could take out Bonesword blindfolded, it would just mean he had to use a bomb from his Gates rather than his Silver Eyes.
More stuff happened, including Eos giving Bonesword a minigun. A plant minigun, which wasn't nearly as cool as a regular one but a minigun nonetheless. While Eos was talking he looked over at the Meido sisters and waved, he remembered them from that time he got kicked through a mountain and into a forge. He still needs to kill the snake bitch for that. Finally Eos finished off asking if anyone had any questions. Henry raised his hand once more.
"Where do I live? And don't tell me it's with Plantsword, I'm not living in his gross shack. I have standards."
