HARPER
Harper, meanwhile, is delighted. The cat jumps out and onto his lap, and Harper playfully jangles the bracelets still on his wrist when the creature shows interest in them. Using the back of his hand - getting wax all over the poor furry thing would likely end their camaraderie - Harper pets the cat, settling it down even further across his thighs until the lazily flicking tail is the only movement he has to contend with.
With a beaming smile, Harper returns to his work now that the cat has found a new spot of warmth to enjoy. Setting to work on waterproofing the remaining bags on the table, setting aside a few moments here and there to continue petting the cat, hoping to keep it content enough on the warmth of his lap to prevent it from investigating what the man is doing. Sticky paws are just as terrible an ending for this battle.
