At first his face just starts to fall into this.
Santa...didn't bring them like Henry had asked. Sure, he did ask Santa to get them home but...he was hoping just to see them. But even though this sadness is just welling up, he has to remember; maybe Santa got them home. It didn't seem to matter though. He's alone for Christmas; the one thing he hoped wouldn't happen.
As he raises his head however and soon see's something wrapped under his tree. Curiously, he steps forward and sits down in front of it. Picking it up, it seems particularly light. It's long and thin. If he stood it up it'd probably go up close to his chest. Peeling away the paper, his eyes grow big in amazement when he gets a peek of it. Soon it's a frenzy and he rips it right off. It's a sword. He got a sword for Christmas! It seems pretty unique. It looks like something that a prince or a royal would have. The blade is curiously thin, not something his grandpa would use. It actually looks something akin to a rapier.
Awesome. He spends the rest of the morning swinging it around in his apartment, not too much though. It's still a weapon and he does have a party to go to later.
After attending that Christmas party, Henry's going to the batltedome to actually try this weapon out. Problem is, he's still not great at using one just yet. So he turns on the journal and peers into it.]
Hey does anyone know how to use a sword?
[People can run into Henry on his way to the party, on his way to the battledome, at the battledome or going back home.]
