Navigating this minefield of personal questions in a way that give a satisfying answer, without truly confirming Henrietta's assumptions is an art form. Oh yes, she will believe they are Bonded, but Soren never truly confirmed that asa fact, instead answering the questions at their very core. His answers must be coming from whoever he is Bonded to—
Which Cú realizes he has no idea who that might be. But lots of Mirrorbound can be pretty private about this kind of thing. Not even his mentor gave him the identity of her Bonded at first (he's got his suspicions, but he was content just knowing there is someone). The answers Soren gives fits with his own experiences though. It's true— these echoes of feelings and emotions, they feel different. Fill a void. In a good way.
The intense interest Henrietta displays could be related to being intrigued by the concept, but he is starting to pick-up on how... fixated she seems on him. Rescuer's crush could hit either him or Geralt, really.
Gently he puts his hand on harpy's shoulder, noting how thinner and delicate to touch it is. Steering her away from both Soren and the subject at hand
"In the end, it is something you have to experience yourself. And I know you will! You've got my utmost best wishes on that." there's cheer in his voice and genuine fondness, but as he rotates them he does it in a way she might see her own stall. And at least one potential client browsing through the books. "You're going to have a good life and I'm happy to see you again—"
But, there is a but, and it does not remain unsaid.
"—But you've caught us in the middle of something and unfortunately it is time for us to take our leave." Now he moves closer to Soren, positioning himself to make the potential latching onto him again a tad harder. "If this spot is yours, I'll drop by soon. If not, let me know where I could find you."
She once again looks at them, tasking them with her gaze and hoos and coos a short-laugh.
"That's how you should do it, that's exactly how. Protective of him, I see— When she shrugs energetically a feather flies into the air. "I can get... a little carried away. That is for the best, probably"
