HARPER
Trailing behind her to the table after putting the leftovers away for both Jude and Dygra (separated ahead of time so their voracious child wouldn't mistake the doubled serving as his alone) Harper barks a laugh at the offer of alcohol. "Not sure we want to invite the same reaction as last time," he chuckles, ears a little pink with shame even as he takes it in stride lightheartedly. "Though the skyboat pilots would have a laugh at me getting sick in the air." Which would be hilarious from the outside, but not if he was the one hanging over the side providing the entertainment. "Lemonade would be great though." The temperature is milder inside, but the heat is undeniable.
"I don't know how many Mer live outside the kingdom actually, that's a great point!" Maybe it would be a pool of potential future citizens for her to tap into. "Alliances seem to be rather lacking in Caido since they're not often fruitful. Would you reach out to any of the other lands?" Pulling out her chair habitually, he seats himself across from her and twirls his fork, eager to dig in.

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