It took several long moments for those two words to fall into place in Henry's brain. Suddenly he grew very very still.

"Did he see you?"

This was bad. This was very very bad.

Envy drags a hand back through his hair, not even noticing that he knocks his hat off in the process, and starts pacing.

"Yes! He looked right at me! Shit, you don't think he could do anything just by glaring, do you?"

He's still not sure what all this magic stuff can do. Help.

All eight of Henry's eyes darted this way and that as he tried to think. He didn't have a ton of magical knowledge. His mandibles twitched uncertainly.

"Mmmmmaybe? He--he could have said a spell under his breath. Or like a ventriloquist. Do you feel okay? But maybe he didn't."

Finally free of the game controllers, Henry stood and edged over to the door to listen to the hallway as if somehow he could tell if they were in trouble or not.

"You didn't say anything to him, did you?"

[exeggutorhead]

There aren't any sounds coming from the hall because there's nobody in it. Looks like Envy wasn't followed.

"Hell no, I ran up here! I didn't want to give him a chance to do anything to me."

But what if that hadn't been enough?

"There's no such thing as a spell that you can start with eye contact and then finish later, right?"

Right???

Henry gave his roommate a worried frown.

"Envy, I'm a spider, not a sourcerer. I don't know. I'll...look in the internet, I guess."

Maybe even. THE DEEP WEB.

"Just try to relax."

[exeggutorhead]

"I know, I know, I just...heh, I'm not really interested in possibly needing a Barbie Dreamhouse again, y'know?"

He's rambling a bit, but he takes a deep breath, trying to stop freaking out.

"Maybe don't shut your door all the way, though. Just in case."

Henry couldn't help but feel bad for the poor human. Things like this tended to happen all at once, didn't they? Discover magic is real, your roommate is a giant spider, a wizard that specifically hates you moves into your building.

He left Envy by the door and quickly whipped up some tea in the kitchen.

"Here. I promise it doesn't have flies in it."

See? See, a joke, Envy! It's gonna be okay.

Henry was having a hard time holding the cup still as he held it out for him.
