HARPER
I stood outside when the roof gave in
You crawled from the wreckage you were lying in
You crawled from the wreckage you were lying in
Harper grunts slightly, clearly wanting to argue the topic, but he swallows it down - misreading her hesitancy and panic as split loyalties and not wanting to badmouth her Dragoon any further. "Does he not have a superior? I know the Dragoons haven't been very plentiful since the war, but it shouldn't be your job personally. You've gotta delegate sometimes." Oops as if that wasn't previously my job. He isn't entirely sure how Stormbreak is run these days, but it's not often that he and Sohalia talk shop so to speak.
Her brightness is a lure in the dark of a running stream, glinting in the light and hoping to catch the attention of the beasts that swarm within. Harper nearly takes it - but the sun and the lengthy pause from drinking is bringing him too much clarity, so he frowns and hugs her tighter instead. "Hey, seriously. I'm a free agent now. What did I just say about delegating, huh?" Maneuvering so he can brush her hair from her face and look into her eyes, he focuses as hard as he can on pushing past the inebriation. "Even if it's just shifting to sober up and we can spend the day together getting your mind off things. I...I don't wanna fail you too, kiddo." Maybe he needs her to need him. Maybe this is more about Harper than her - and he isn't sure if that's the kind of self-serving he's been trying to learn, or something more insidious, more selfish.

You're out of reach and we're out of time, I take it all and toe that line
You held my hand and pulled me down with you
