    Summary

    “How did you…”

    Hans trails off as Henry rises to his feet, every movement taut as stretched leather. The birds screech in the trees; Henry turns his back to the fire, to Hans, and gazes across the overlook into the forest below. His gloved hands are in fists by his sides. Morning light glints faintly on the rusted rivets of his brigandine.

    Here it comes, whispers a faint voice in the back of Hans’s head.

    Henry tracks down a poacher in the woods. Unrelated: Lord Hans Capon is experiencing possibly the lowest moment of his life to date. One thing leads to another, someone takes a sword (?) wound in the thigh, and everything gets more complicated.

    Set during the canon KCD 2 storyline; spoilers for the Bird of Prey quest.

    Summary

    “Hans, I know. You don’t have to do this, it’s alright. I forgave you already.”

    “You shouldn’t, though. Kurva, Henry, I was unbelievable to you! You should be furious; you should have happily left me on the gallows back there because of what I did, but instead, you save me and then go on and say things like—like…you…I-I just…fuck’s sake, I don’t know. I don’t understand you at all.”

    Lord Capon and his faithful page, Henry of Skalitz, have a surprisingly heartfelt talk on an evening ride. Henry realizes how much the young heir of Rattay has come to mean to him, finding the revelation a bit…confusing.

    Summary

    Hans wanted nothing more than to grab him, hold him, keep him close until the Praguers broke the walls down and took them both into Hell together. He wanted Henry’s face in his hands, to feel his pulse beneath his fingers whilst the man was still alive.
    The thought did nothing but scare him into simply watching Henry go.

    The words in his chest went unsaid, even to himself.

    Perhaps that’s how God intended it to be.

    or: hans never confessed at suchdol, and now finds himself torn between his responsibilities to rattay and jitka, and the way his heart beats solely for henry.

    (…a lot of yearning and sleepless nights ensue)
