show me all of your affection
let it rain on me
Perking up at the prospect of even having a verbal list of guilds to consider, Harper rolls to better catch Oliver's gaze and smiles. "Yeah I'd love that! They don't really advertise themselves as is, kinda hard to find them that way. I'm not even sure how many there are or what they're for." Or maybe he's just looking in the wrong places? Both options are entirely possible. He waits patiently for Oliver to tell him more not just about the guilds in the area, but the one he is apparently part of.
While obvious that the weight of his curse is pressing down on his shoulders still, at least the younger man seems to be comforted by Harper's words. Gently reaching out a hand to squeeze Oliver's shoulder if he would be allowed, Harper smiles gently. "Then you're already on the right track. It takes time and learning how to move on from people who aren't going to return the full weight of your affection, but it's worth it. You'll find someone who appreciates you for you Oliver, I'm sure of it." After all the man is handsome, kind, and talented. Few more things are ever needed to be drawn to someone than that.
The idea of a performance makes his eyebrows climb, excitement already starting to build on his face at the prospect. Though as he looks around the room he laughs sheepishly. "It's definitely too small in here for my kind of performance, but I can show you some cool flexibility tricks? And you're totally welcome to sketch me!" Nobody ever has before, but Harper is far from embarrassed of his body or appearance. Oliver could draw him with a bobble head and a beer gut and Harper would probably still love it.
