"Cherrygrove," said Henry as he looked down at the ball in his hands. "I need to get to a Pokemon Center. It's the only way I'll be able to tell if my friends are still here...I don't even know how long I've been gone."
It felt like a bunch of rocks were in his chest when he thought about the fact that his friends--his family might have been long gone from this place. It was still one HELL of a step up from the Other World and his own trashy apartment, but without them it was just...another place.
Henry looked up at her again and forced a smile--whether Rose could tell it was unnatural or not was anybody's guess. He wanted to smile a real smile for this incredibly kind person but it just wasn't in him at the moment. "It's nice to meet you, Rose. I'm Henry. How long have you been here?"
It was a customary thing to ask. You could kinda tell when somebody wasn't a local when you'd lived here as long as he had. However long ago that was.
