Clinging to the ruin of your broken home, too lost and hurting to carry your load
You know we all need someone to hold

Harper concedes the point with a faint smile. He'll do what he can by way of letting Jude know, but he can't force their son to do anything, and he's exactly that age where things slip the mind with regularity. At least he understands. Harper wouldn't mind Jude being home more often. Lately, he's been waiting for the news that Jude wants to move to Stormbreak and into the home of the girlfriend he's had for less than a year.
Safrin spare his heart.
Of all things, Harper isn't anticipating this meeting to have initially been about Flora, and he doesn't miss the manipulative little way that Phoebe denotes her as her niece. Sitting back in his chair, muscled arms cross over his chest immediately, closing himself off and raising an eyebrow. "No." Simple as that.
"Firstly, certainly not because she asked you asked it of me." He will not be swayed by personal attachment or favors. That's firmly Flora's territory. "Secondly, I did not disparage her. I countered the information she willingly put forth in her claim to leadership. If she didn't want it to be debated, she shouldn't have provided it." Shaking his head firmly, Harper snorts. "She equally threatened me with her familial ties and contacts, or did she leave that out?" He's admittedly hurt that Phoebe clearly believed Flora at face value despite the young woman's renowned dramatics. Surely he was the only one who misspoke or misstepped in that entire shit show.
