- Henry if anything happens to you then... then... Oh why the hell can't I save you once for a change?
- —Hans to Henry
Hansry is the slash ship between Henry of Skalitz and Hans Capon from the Kingdom Come: Deliverance fandom.
Canon[]
Kingdom Come: Deliverance[]
Henry and Hans initially meet during one of the earlier main quests, Awakening. Upon entering the dining hall of the lower Rattay castle, Henry is introduced to the room including Hans who mocks the commoner and is against him being taken into sir Radzig's service.
Later the two of them have a 'friendly' duel, in which Henry can win sir Capon's bow. That evening, when Henry goes to close down the tavern in the town square Hans ridicules him and belittles him for disrespecting a lord. They get into a fistfight, ending with the two of them on the ground and Hanush screaming bloody murder at them. As a punishment they're forced to go hunting together the next day.
During The Hunt is when the two officially become friends - though it is only so after Henry rescues Hans from two Cumans who took him captive. The pair limps back to Rattay, where Henry is awarded his own horse for saving the young lord. This is also when he officially enters the service of Sir Radzig, something he's been trying to achieve over the last few days.
Next to Godliness[]
A side quest, Next to Godliness, features Hans and Henry sharing a hot tub. The quest begins with Hans asking Henry to join him at the Rattay baths after nightfall. When Henry joins him, Hans is drunk in the bath after losing all his clothes at strip dice with Zdena, a bathmaid. Hans convinces Henry to play some strip dice with her himself. After the games, Henry mentions "I could do with a good soak too," to which Hans responds, "Then strip off and hop in here!" However, even after removing equipped clothing Henry (and Hans) will still be wearing shirts and braies.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2[]
This section is in need of major improvement. Please help improve this article by editing it.
In Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 the relationship was canonised, by making Hans a romanceable character. The player can choose multiple romantic dialogue options, which will result in a romantic scene, where the two kiss and spend their night together.
Easy Riders[]
Henry and Hans, along with four additional men, travel together to Trosky to deliver a diplomatic letter to Lord von Bergow. While riding their horses, Hans enthusiastically exclaims, "Audentes Fortuna iuvat!" to Henry's confusion. Hans teasingly explains that it means "fortune favors the brave," and that he hopes their trip provides them with excitement and adventure. Henry reminds Hans that Sir Hanush has made Henry personally responsible for Hans's safety, which Hans confirms, calling Henry "my bodyguard." Once at camp, if you spar with Hans without equipping a sword, Hans quips about "fighting with their cocks." During camp dinner, when asked about Teresa (a romanceable character from the first game), Henry can refuse to disclose the specifics of their relationship, to which Hans sighs in relief. Hans and Henry bathe together in the stream next to their camp, separating them from the rest of the group during the ambush. Everyone left at camp is killed, leaving Hans and Henry to depend on each other to make it through alive.
Fortuna[]
Henry and Hans trudge through the Bohemian forest while Henry is wounded and experiencing violent flashbacks. Hans supports Henry physically and emotionally, telling Henry, "We'll make it together, you'll see. You're a warrior. You could do this. You're alright, Henry, we can do this... just a little further." When Henry says, "I let them all down," Hans responds, "You never let me down." Hans brings them to an herb woman, who agrees to heal them. Suddenly, they are attacked by a bandit who has caught up with them. Henry is incapacitated, overwhelmed with visions of his past. Hans fights the bandit, disappearing outside. When Henry wakes, he asks about Hans. He is assured by the herbwoman that they are both alright for now, so Henry should "calm himself." However, Hans needs a potion to bring down his fever, which Henry will brew himself. When Henry sees Hans unconscious and recuperating, he says a heartfelt prayer: "Lord God Almighty, look down on a poor sinner and hear my heartfelt prayer. Protect Sir Hans and don't let him die, just as he didn't let me die. Preserve his life, because he's a young gentleman, brave and just and a good Christian." When Hans is better, they have breakfast with the herbwoman and her daughter. Hans expresses his gratitude to Henry for saving his life for the third time. Henry is able to share stories of his adventures saving Hans to the women. Soon, they head of to Trosky. However, they are treated as beggars because of their appearance, and literal shit is poured on Hans for his arrogant insistence that he is an important lord.
Laboratores[]
Henry and Hans need groschen to improve their social stature. At a tavern, they learn that Lord von Bergow will be attending a local wedding in Semine. If Henry and Hans secure invitations, they will be able to speak with him and deliver the message. They also need jobs, but Hans refuses to do manual labor, believing it to be below his God-given station as a bellatores (noble). Hans finds it difficult to adjust to appearing to be a laboratores (pleb), in addition to dealing with the deaths of his companions and the failure of this diplomatic mission. When Henry asks him to help him carry sacks, Hans replies "Are you yanking my noble pizzle?" An irritated Hans then gets into a fight at the tavern, which leads to them both ending up shirtless at the pillory. Henry and Hans have a hurtful argument, tossing around blame about their situation. When they are released, Hans decides to find his own way to the wedding. The man who releases them tells Henry, "If I were in your shoes, I'd be glad to be rid of the good-for-nothing, eh?"
Wedding Crashers[]
Hans and Henry separately find their way to the Semine wedding. At first, Hans and Henry are still irritated at each other, with Hans avoiding a conversation. If Henry attempts to talk to Hans, Hans may say "What do you want from me? I wasn't good enough for you, so stop pestering me." They eventually speak to each other when Henry finds Hans having a romantic chat with a woman. During this still tense conversation, Henry refers to Hans as "his living ball and chain." Later, however, when Henry finds himself in a fight, Hans defends him with a knock-out punch to Henry's aggressor.
