Daniel Bone was Mudge's best friend or worst enemy depending on what mood he was in.
On the day Mudge created Henry he was feeling particularity proud.
The deer boy was easily one of his best designs. And because of this, Mudge was afraid of what would happen to him.
Rather than reveal Henry right away he took him to one of the clerks of the toy shop.
This one did not embarrass Mudge by asking where his parents where or if he was just looking -again!
"We can keep him here awhile, least until after the holiday break, to keep him safe -"
Somehow understood.
Always knew.
Reorganizing a shelf of dolls, placing all but one on a separate table to sell for the season.
Trina Ballerina was in a perfect pose as always.
She would get the customers in the store.
And by impulse and good deals; the others would be sold as well. 
The one with Henry however acted as a sentry; to keep him out of vision from unforgiving eyes.
Just as the store closed that night -
the same magic which protects a child under the blunt, harsh realities even if for a little longer.
When the store closed that night an odd flicker occurred.
It was not from a security camera but rather a quiet, humble voice - asking:
"Where am I?"

Happy New Year's Eve everyone!
