They will desperately need to wash themselves clean by the end of this dance, but for now Harper couldn't care less about the stickiness, the grit, the heat. There is only the bright joy of reunion in his chest which fights away the darker shadows between his ribs. Even when he can't help but laugh, disbelieving, when she mentions - [say]"Deimos?"[/say] Shaking his head as they spin, Harper grins broadly. [say]"You really do have the weirdest connections."[/say]
Conceding the lead to her easily as she readjusts their arms to a proper configuration for dancing instead of childish circular spinning, Harper helps the transition along by dropping his free hand to her waist without a care for where it lands in terms of 'safety'. It's a good thing he knows both leading and following steps by heart, and simultaneously amusing that she clearly does too. [say]"Good, then that means I do get to be special,"[/say] he chuckles, because that's clearly all that matters to him. Only to throw his head back dramatically, groaning, when she continues. [say]"Not even just a friend but your dad? How have you ever managed to date?"[/say] Surely Deimos could - and would - conveniently vanish any of Kiada's suitors he disapproved of.
