#he does still have Opinions and henry values his input at least a little bit)

[telling-tragedy]

henry and richard’s back and forth throughout this scene is absolutely addicting. richard isn’t having it

#thousands of words of winterpapen fic have been written because of this banter alone #by me it’s me #the secret history #richard papen #henry winter #donna tartt #winterpapen #henry winter x richard papen #I know there are theories that henry had richard write down the math in this scene so he could frame him later but tbh i think— #it shows that henry is in fact fallible and imperfect and also most importantly he can’t do math #(and fatefully that while richard will do almost anything henry asks #he does still have Opinions and henry values his input at least a little bit)
