An impish grin is her response, playfully miming zipping his lips as if to spare himself from betraying his own flirtatious ways. Not that she seems at all bothered by them, which only makes her company all the more pleasurable. She is certainly a catch herself; beautiful, witty, unafraid of getting her hands dirty, and willing to learn any manner of new skills. Harper might just swoon, but climbing buildings with her is far too enticing a prospect to go flopping over in the dust like an overgrown fish.
Instead, as she chases him up to the building's roof, he laughs brightly at her teasing even as his cheeks flush with warmth at the compliment. Cheeks dimpling with the force of his smile, energized and entertained. "Have to show off a little for a beautiful lady," he assures, eyes crinkling with mischievous delight. Admittedly Harper can't hide the sincere appreciation for her compliment. It is so rare for someone to not only commend his skill but to also want to learn it at his side. Before their adrenaline can die down, Harper swipes his finger over the curve of her cheek and takes off, spinning on the balls of his feet to eagerly watch her response. She does not disappoint; dark hair a streak against the pale sky, eyes focused and intent, form admirable for a beginner. Just as he opens his mouth to compliment her in turn, she sneakily returns the favor of marking him, and any words he intended to speak jumble up into a huff of laughter.
"You got me." Blue eyes gleam as he smirks down at her, letting her take the words in any variety of ways before he turns and surveys their next obstacle. It has a solid standing wall up to what had once been a second story, and then a modest drop down to the ceiling of the first story. Perfect. Instead of overloading her verbally once more, he instead beckons her towards the edge once more, long legs striking out quickly to speed up into the jump. Landing with both feet on the beam-like concrete, then swinging his left hand down to hold himself as he uses the momentum to jump and side-roll over his shoulder on the landing below. "Don't worry, I can catch you!" Harper calls back to Weaver once he has popped back to his feet, knowing the narrow landing can be daunting and more than willing to be the sweaty knight in shining tanktop if she falters.
