HARPER
A little behind her in finishing his food given how much he'd been talking (not the first time that has happened, oops) Harper takes a moment to clear his plate before standing and following her to the sink to deposit it inside, edging her out of the way with his hip so he can start cleaning them. It's an activity he has always found quite calming, so he has never minded taking it upon himself.
"Sorry, I hope it wasn't too much. But you know you can always write or visit if you want someone to bounce ideas off of." He's not nearly arrogant enough to say she can come to him specifically for advice. Phoebe is more than capable in her own right, so long as she can believe in herself. Though it seems she's insistent on believing in him instead, which makes him chuckle. "You know the deal - if I lose the election I'll come crawling with my bags packed. Or if Safrin does not approve." His goddess giving him a different path would be the only thing that would change his mind even if he was already voted in.

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