[Amelia looks up when Henry interjects and she seems equal parts confused, grateful, and then fearful as she glances over at the Witch King who has straightened himself up.
It's hard to tell what it would have been like if Amelia had at least one other person or more for company. Maybe she would be more well-adjusted or it wouldn't have taken her as long. But the Witch King is a creature who creates standards that either change with the flip of a coin or he adheres to them out of his alien stubbornness.
Which is why he smiles at Henry while gently taking Amelia by the wrist, tugging her towards him.]
Oh, that was one of the ordeals she's endured so well though. I'm very proud of her for that. So if nothing else, all I'm asking her to do is to sharpen her focus with the material that's been gifted to her! She doesn't need any other distractions.
[He looks at Amelia who's watching her teacher and biting her lower lip.]
Remember Amy? The magic you have is a gift and I want you to shape it! It's been thirty years or so now? You may not feel like it but you're getting somewhere. You don't even have to worry about body decay! You're most fortunate and you really should be appreciative of the changes I've made to you.
[His student freezes at the realization of how much time has passed. The Witch King looks at Henry again while she wrestles with that confirmation.]
Well, if you're going to stay, you'll get to see how I help my precious student when she's in a rut. The problem is that she's thinking too hard and agonizing over too many details. Thus, I will give her one problem to solve.
