HARPER
“Feels I’ve been here forever too,” he agrees, laughing lightly. Torchline had welcomed him with open arms it seemed, and Harper had never looked back. Though his smile turns into an impish grin, sharp at the edges and blue eyes sparkling with mischief. “I am innocent until proven guilty!” He had never bet anything on the rounds after the workers realized he’d clean them out of everything they owned.
“Well, they’re certainly not…patient. When I spoke to them, they were quite blunt, and insulted me a few times for my questions. Then told me I’d never see my loved ones from home in the after life. It wasn’t the best experience, even if they weren’t outwardly cruel.” In fact the memory still stings. It could have been much worse of course, but compared to Safrin the welcome was frigid to say the least.
Laughing as he springs agilely down the track and back, cartwheeling with one hand in each box in a blatant show-off, Harper lands feet first at her side. “I forgot you did ballet. I learned a little, maybe we can dance together someday.” He had taken to gymnastics more understandably, but ballet and gymnastics went hand in hand. Harper certainly had the muscle mass alone to hoist her around, even if he wasn’t graceful or trained.

Can we go back to the world we had?
With a love so sweet it makes me sad
With a love so sweet it makes me sad
