Harper
I thank whatever gods may be
for my unconquerable soul
Harper knew he was gonna get away with it, and his smile is positively dazzling when Oliver acquiesces. Laughs freely when the other man tosses him a wink, feeling his soul settle a little as his first day in Caido winds down a natural path. "I'm sure I'd start climbing the walls if they kept me in there too long. Literally. And then they'd definitely have to let me out." Harper was more a creature of the air than the earth, had been born to fly and climb and find the highest possible places and then make his way to the top somehow. It had been the purpose of the circus as a front for grooming young assassins, but Harper had always been a little different. A little more bird than boy. He rocks back and forth idly as they sit facing each other, incapable of staying still at any given moment. He gratefully receives his portion of the bread when Oliver finally deigns to give it, having nearly been driven to whining if it meant filling his stomach. Fighting assholes was exhausting, and he can't even remember his last real meal. Not the best habit for sure, but well...he didn't exactly have a choice about changing them now. This little town seems far too peaceful for his particular skillset, though it leaves him floundering, wondering who he even is without his little "night job". It had taken so long to figure out he'd even wanted to do that. It's disheartening to realize he has to figure it out all over again.
Instead of lingering on those dark thoughts, he takes a bite out of the still warm bread, and makes a loud happy noise around his mouthful. It's delightful. Probably more than normal considering how hungry he is, but he certainly isn't complaining. "No, this is absolutely perfectly hyped up. They have a new regular customer." Which just further encourages him to figure out a good way to make his way in this world, if only to barter for more of this delicious bread.
Pausing while chewing, he hums thoughtfully and continues his gentle rocking motions. "Honestly I know so little that I don't even know the right questions to ask."
