I carry all I need to grow inside - give me light, give me warmth
It's enough of an answer for him to smile kindly, aware that there are wounds that will always be tender, no matter how scarred. It's not for him to say how she should cope with that relationship, and he's grateful she does not try to dictate his own with Sunjata. That alone is proof of how far the divorced pair have come. Instead he plucks the fruit from her fingers cheekily, popping it into his mouth with a smug grin as he chews and swallows it. "But you choose to love me anyway," he teases in a musical, sing-song voice. Enjoying the bit of levity in between the darkness of their current topic of conversation.
"Makes sense to target you individually then." Not that it pleases him, but at least Harper better understands their motives. Important, in a situation like this. "I'm sure Frey would gain quite a lot. You've already done so much for them, don't sell yourself short." It's a level of closeness he envies, but one he doubts will ever find its way to him. It's almost a relief, on the other hand, to leave that to the likes of Sunjata and others. Harper would surely be a much more disappointing follower - or god forbid Demigod - than Phoebe. "Information is as valuable as weaponry in a war like this. Have you thought of speaking to the Ascended? See if they're even aware of what's going on?" Otherwise they're going off the spoken word of one side, and that doesn't sit well with Harper either. "I can ask Safrin, maybe. Ask around. Whatever I can do to help."
