"You didn't tell me that we had the same birthday!" Henry grinned, hands tucked behind his back. "We're birthday buddies! Same day, probably different time, definitely different parents! And there's one other guy, too — also definitely different parents!"
Well, he hoped so.
"Sooooo I got ya a gift!" He brought his hands out from behind him, revealing a... key? "Wanna go to a creepy house with me and the other guy? I think it would be real fun!"
Skoll seemed to give a fairly intrigued look at the dark mage. Considering the stuff that they got up to with the circus, it seemed like that Skoll wasn't opposed to taking some time off with the mage.
After all, might as well make friends while I still can, before people start getting ideas about me, and start going into a phase of shunning me.
Skoll took the key into his own hands, before he then gave a nod towards Henry.
"Yeah, sure." Skoll grinned. "Although you'd have to try hard to scare the likes of me. I've been through a lot more than you think before I came to this academy. Still, if you manage to get a fright on me, then I'll owe you something. Anything within reason, of course, but it'll be done or yours by the end of the day. Swear it on my own nature."
