HARPER
Harper kind of had forgotten honestly, but the offer makes his eyes brighten nonetheless. "I'm not sure how much use an Accepted will be at hunting monsters, but count me in." Because why the heck not? He already enjoys her company, which is motivation enough to join. Getting to help protect people again? Something he's been doing for most of his adult life? That's just the final nail.
Her tension is unmistakable, but the way she relaxes minutely at his touch helps soothe the ache of his heart at seeing her so distressed by memories. Things he can't protect her from, and he knows that well. "If he's anything like you, I'm sure he's kicking ass somewhere." He gives her a small smile, sincere but with nothing fancy or teasing to it. It's a pathetic consolation, and he knows it, but it's the best he can do. "Tell me about the rest of your family. Did you have a best friend? What did you do for fun back then?"
