Hearing that thumping come from the direction of Henry's room didn't help his nerves any and he quickened his pace toward it. He pulled open the door, not really certain what to expect, it could be Henry had dropped something to make that noise after all.
Anything that he might have said to Henry about that little message of his or what he wanted from him died unspoken in his throat as his eyes fell on the boy beside his grandson.
It wasn't all that often that he was rendered into wide-eyed shock and speechlessness, but this was definitely one of those times. He merely stared at the boy for a good minute in silence, a multitude of emotion welling up to cause his eyes to tear up. This was what the message had been about he was now certain. The reasoning behind the last part of it now crystal clear to him.
His voice was soft, filled with regret and sorrow as he spoke a single word. A name he hadn't expected to speak again here to be honest.
