HARPER
Harper wishes he'd paid better attention to lessons on sickness instead of field sutures and emergency procedures, because Libbs looks like she's going to keel over if he breathes on her too hard and he doesn't know why. Somewhere his ex (rest her soul) is probably laughing her ass of at him for his oblivious nature and inability to assume anyone is fond of him - a hilarious parallel to Libbs' own internal monologue that he's unaware of.
Sunjata leans back to reply then, and Harper wrinkles his nose at the man playfully. "Ruining all my fun, aren't bars supposed to encourage reckless behavior?" He doesn't mind engaging the man in a verbal spar, maybe it will take some pressure off of Libbs and give her time to do...something. Whatever is wrong with her, he's still not sure. But seeing as he can't steal her away for a breath of fresh air away from the other two, Harper isn't really sure how else he can help but to try to keep his eyes on her and give her something singular to focus on. Him, in this case.
Not the she seems intent on looking at him, and when she speaks - stuttering, nervous - it makes his own cheeks light up in a warm red hue. The compliment is so sincere it completely floors him, and he sputters wordlessly as he tries to come up with a response. Bold flirtations that go nowhere? Perfect, he's got that down. Sincere compliments that aren't about his body or getting him in bed? Nope, nope, he's a goner. Still he can tell how much it took for her to say it, and he still has zero clue what's going on but he's not going to be rude. "But then how else will I see your beautiful face?" It's sincere but almost shyly said, eyes dipping down to his cup to give them both a reprieve. "Thank you though, nobody has ever told me that before." Ah, there's solid ground again. Harper lifts his gaze back up, smiling shyly at her, chest buzzing warmly as he tucks the compliment away to be remembered in future days.
