HARPER
Choosing to stick his tongue out at her cheekily instead of continuing the thread of conversation down the rabbithole of cults and what constituted them, he gestures her to bring the chicken closer to focus instead on the food. "The chicken is usually cut in strips but all held together so they fall neatly like dominoes on top of the pasta, but so long as it's on top I don't think it matters!" It would all get incorporated eventually, whether on the plate or in their stomachs.
Fetching the silverware - which takes looking for a few drawers in the spots he knows she normally keeps them - he returns and hands her a fork with an encouraging smile. "Most of the political know-how can be learned as you go. So long as you have a passion for the job, it will carry you through the growing pains of learning a new career." And considering she has plenty of passion to spare on top of being considerably bright despite her outlook on herself, Harper is confident she will flourish in the role.

some things take insane bravery
but after that, you'll be free
