Katy turned her back to the view and pressed her elbows and rump against the boards of the railing. The better to look at him properly, and the better to stop taking the wind full in the face. "You probably should let me drown. I don't want to be responsible for injuring a future Quidditch star, and Merlin knows a Puff like you won't stop until I'm safe." Not that she was jumping, but self-preservation was obviously not an instinct for him.
She hated that her words made him sad, and Katy put her hand on his arm without worrying over whether or not it was right to do so. "Sorry. You're more than just your broom, but it's still important to you. I didn't mean to bring it up. You were brilliant, by the way, when I came to see you play this summer. These girls in the stands were so jealous when I told them I knew you." Henry nodded a bit as he watched her. He wasn't too worried about it, just curious. "It is kind of chilly out here. You can borrow my scarf if you want." He didn't mind offering.
He leaned slightly to the side as Katy turned so he could look at her as they talked. "Nope. Not gonna happen," he said with a slight smirk. "What kind of Puff would I be if I let you jump to your own demise? I've got a reputation to uphold, future Quidditch star or not." No drowning on his watch.
Katy was sweet and he gave her a wide smile. "No, it's alright. Really." He wasn't really sad, just wished that things were different. And he didn't mind talking about it at all. He couldn't help but to grin as she continued though. "Oh, were they really? I bet.." Henry chuckled at the thought. "Thanks though. I'm glad you came. I think there's nothing I love more than being right in the middle of an intense game." And he really appreciated when his friends came to support him.
