[Amelia is trying very hard to hide her smile by glancing away while Emil cheerfully explains himself.]
"Well, yeah! I was just going to take care of some errands around Miss Steinbeck's house but Berna said I could bring my tools just in case since I'd be checking in on you too!"
[Emil radiates a childlike excitement as he continues, holding up his suitcase.]
"I've been practicing on the others in the workshop and I've gotten really good at haircuts, styling, and trimming! But I really want to work on a human!"
[Not that Henry was exactly one in his case but that's neither here nor there. Amelia looks back again and gently addresses him.]
Only if you really want Henry. I was planning to take you out today so you could choose some necessities for yourself. I think an impromptu haircut might be a good way to start the day. And you'd be in good hands with Emil.
And consider it a way to make it up to him. [You know, for the face smashing.]
