[ as a rule, henry doesn't answer the phone when nick calls after 12am, because that's when nick asks for things. sometimes pointless, sometimes serious, sometimes an excuse to avoid asking for what he actually wants. the only problem is that henry's never been able to actually follow the rule. very briefly, he considers what would happen if he let nick handle his own mistakes.
it wouldn't work. the only idea henry hates more than nick not listening to him and then asking for help anyway, is him needing help and not asking, or going to someone worse. and honestly, everyone is worse.
so henry picks up. he's fully prepared to make it at least sound like he would take convincing when he hears the urgency in nick's voice. he squares his shoulders, gripping the phone tighter. ]
