[ When the video starts, it's obvious Henry's in his room, which is not where he'd prefer to be. With it being the weekend, he'd much rather be outside exploring De Chima a little more, but today it's just really gloomy outside and it looks like it might rain any second. That's not necessarily a deterrent, but it's the kind of weather that's more conducive to relaxing indoors and watching movies. So, that's what he's been doing until relocating back to his room for the time being. He hasn't really had a chance to meet as many people on this network as he'd like, so that's what compels him to speak now.

Mostly he just has questions.

Questions are a good way to start a conversation, right? ]

I was wondering...does anyone else have experience with...healing? Not the kind of healing where you fix someone's broken bones, or cuts or anything. But where you fix their...heart, I guess? Their mind. Empathic healing, it said in my packet. So I should be able to make someone feel better if they're sad or scared, or upset in some way. I just was wondering how many other people can do that, too.

[ He really likes the idea of that, but it's not as straightforward to him as his other power (even though it makes sense to him, of course): forcefields. He hasn't tried either yet, but forcefields are something you can see, you know what you're doing and if it's working. ]

I'm Henry, by the way. I live in De Chima, and my mom's here - well, one of them - so that's pretty cool.

Do you like where you're living right now? What do you like to do for fun?

Oh, and if you're living in De Chima too, where can I get the best pizza?

Well, I think...sort of? Not if someone's heart is physically hurt, but if they have a broken heart because they're sad or really upset, I'm supposed to be able to comfort them and take away that pain, and...make it better.

I haven't tried it yet because I'm afraid I might...make it worse, accidentally.

You wouldn't know until you tried.

[But that doesn't sound like anything that will help Anna. Back to the drawing board.]

That sounds like a wonderful power.

I know it's the only way to really find out, I wouldn't...wanna ask someone to let me try on them, though.

[ Unless they really trust him, or would understand him not knowing at first. ]

I think when I get the hang of it, it'll be really awesome.

I understand.

There's a lot of people with different powers here, though. Maybe one of them can help you.

[Listen to her, giving the advice she keeps getting but not taking.]

[ Well, he's gonna try to give her a little advice too, that's just how he is. ]

I think so.

What about you? Do you know a lot about your powers and how to use them?

[Oh no, now she's getting advice from children...]

I'm still learning about them. [That's the truth.] I'm not very in control of them yet.

[ He likes to think he can help everyone, even people older than him. ]

So we're kind of learning together then.

I'm sure you'll get the hang of it soon, too.

[She is beyond help! Or that's what she thinks.]

I hope so. [She doubts it.]

My name is Elsa, by the way. It's nice to meet you.

[Since she was rude and completely skipped introductions previously.]

[ Luckily, that's right up Henry's alley, since his mom used to be the Evil Queen. He doesn't think anyone's beyond help, if they really want to do better. ]

It's nice to meet you, too.

Have you been here for a while? What's it like where you're from?

[ Forgive him, he's curious. ]

I've been here for five months, yes. I came from a land called Arendelle. It's on the sea, up north in Europe.

[She doesn't mind answering basic questions.]

Where are you from?
