HARPER
Looking for Deimos when he has been recommended to by multiple people sounds like a good idea. Looking for Deimos after he finds out Kiada is 'beneath his wing' in her own words, and finds that out the night he stays in her bed, sounds like an absolutely terrible idea.
For all Harper's flirtations he is a very monogamous, devoted person. Doesn't mean he hasn't been chased out of quite a few windows by screaming parents unaware of him staying over with their child when he was a teenager. Protective parents are still one of his worst nightmares, so it's understandable that Harper procrastinates meeting the literal General of the Hollowed Grounds.
In the end the draw of training draws him in helplessly, unable to stay away for long. It's in his blood, an addiction of sorts. There's really no getting out of the lifestyle. The only kind of retirement his fellows have ever experienced is death. Harper is fiddling with his batons while he stares at the barracks in the distance, wondering what he'll find if he goes in there. If he wants to find anything at all. This world is still so foreign to him, so untouched and naive in its own way. Does he really want to go back to the lifestyle he has always lived, in this place where it won't operate the same?
