Not that she didn't want him to have whatever he wanted, but she wasn't sure he knew what he was getting into. He was too nice. The paps would eat him alive.

And... yeah. Henry. Enough said. She could take a hint. "Yeah, no big deal, I guess. But I didn't find a Ravenclaw. I guess I got bored of the game. It was bad science, anyway. Terrible sample size for a population." She kicked at the railing before shoving off. "I'm freezing. Are you freezing?"
Henry grew thoughtful as he listened to Katy. He knew all of that, or at least he thought he did, and he wasn't sure if he'd like that side at all. He'd admit that he liked having positive attention, but not so much the lack of privacy or someone making up lies or half-truths about him. "My sister does a pretty good job staying out of the tabloids," he said after a moment's thought. Though he had seen plenty about her in various publications. "There was a rumor about my dad in one once though. I think it caused some problems for him and my mum," he admitted quietly. He was sure it wasn't true, but even just the idea of it was rather unkind.

Henry wasn't completely sure what the game had been to begin with or exactly what Katy had wanted out of it, but it seemed important to her at the time. He didn't know what changed, though it was clear to him that he said something wrong. And he didn't want to feel any weird tension between the two of them, not when he considered her a good friend. So he simply smiled when she mentioned the cold. "Well, I did offer you my scarf," he chuckled. "But yeah, I think I've lost feeling in my toes. Do you want to go in and get some hot chocolate?" That was always the best on a cold day.
