Finally being so far from the crowd is the greatest relief. Fewer sounds, fewer smells, fewer uncomfortable looks. He follows gladly, quiet, keeping his hands and his eyes to himself despite his great urge to explore this new, secret part of the mansion.
When they arrive in the room his eyes widen with surprise at what he sees. Not only did she assemble it – and perfectly, it seems! – but she's set it someplace so prominent. He expected it to be hidden away on a shelf, if it was actually assembled at all.
Harrowheart looks to Lieselotte before he kneels down to inspect the ship. It hovers on its pedestal just as it should. He looks at its propellers from below, leans to see it from the side, then stands so that he can peer down at the deck and the roof of the cabin.
Finally he nods at Lieselotte. "It's perfect. Honest, I'm not just sayin' that. I ain't ever been on one, but when I was in the army I saw the very first one of its kind flyin' overhead."
He looks between the model and Mrs. Durant a few times before he asks, hopeful and ignorant, "Did your husband help?"
