3rd person POV

Henry smiles a little at the thought of Edward still having a bit of a soft side for him. And to admit, Henry still had a soft side for Edward. If Edward was hurt, Henry would do everything to help him. There's nothing Henry wouldn't do for Edward, and Edward feels the same about Henry. Edward pulls away and looks at Henry.

"You know how I did my magic tricks?" Edward asked.

"I do, what about them?" Henry replied.

"Well, I was thinking and sometimes I don't even know how I did it. You being a man of science I thought you might be able to explain it."

Henry thought about it for a moment, then Henry takes Edward to the room with the fireplace and sits him in a chair, then sets a book in his lap. Henry then walks off and prepares tea for them both. Soon, Henry returns and pours tea for Edward, then for himself. After that, Henry grabs his own book and sits in the chair next to Edward.

"Henry.. Are you alright? You've never ignored me like that before." Edward asks with curiosity, he's not quite sure how to react on this. Edward doesn't know if he just does that, or if it's a mental issue Henry has. (I have nothing against people with mental issues, I want to make that clear : ). )

"Forgive me Edward, I didn't mean for that to seem as rude as it did. I can go into a deep thought that most cannot. Do you know how man can think in less than a second, but the world is still moving around them?"

"Yes I do, that happens often for me when I'm doing my tricks."

"Well, for myself, I don't believe I can stop time but I do believe that in my eyes the world slows down. The reason it seemed like I was ignoring you was because that was one of my deeper moments where in a way, I was thinking without thought."

"How can you think without thought?"

"I was in deep thought, but my subconscious knew you were here so it reacted with doing something until I could pull myself out of my thoughts. If I actually can slow time then I am very unaware of it."

"That would be awesome and would help us greatly if you could!"

"Heh, that's very unlikely, all I know is that I can think and react faster than man. It helps greatly in dangerous situations." 

Edward smiles at that response, then looks back to Henry to see him looking at Edward. "Is there something wrong brother?"

"No, I'm wondering if you could do your show tomorrow on the street so I might be able to see it in action."

"I could do that, when?"

"Whenever you decide. I can just be a commoner in the crowd if you like."

"Alright. I'd be glad to." Edward smiles a little more and soon the two finish their tea, then go to bed for the night.
