HARPER
The shriek of the children around him is his first clue that something is up, and their pointing fingers lead his gaze to a dragon hopping in the squares behind him, clearly mimicking him. Harper gives a delighted laugh, completely unbothered by the draconic addition with how commonplace Prim is in his life. "You got this lil buddy!" he cheers as he pauses on one foot, impeccable balance giving him the chance to pump his fists in excited encouragement.
The dragon's bonded is not far behind, though Harper is surprised to see it's Maeve. She hadn't been bonded last he'd known. Winking her way, he gives a bright laugh. "You learn something new every day!" Waving her closer, still balancing on one foot even as the children start to swarm him to push playfully at his hips and knee to topple him, he talks over the sea of heads. "Good to see you Maeve! Is this little one attached to you? Because I think they're saying you should join us." Smile bright and welcoming. He'd worked at the Halenani for a long time, and been proud to see her take Phoebe's mantle - even if he'd left around the same time, following the woman around only to lose her a second time. Not that he'll let himself think that just yet, trying to believe she has merely been too busy for contact.

Can we go back to the world we had?
With a love so sweet it makes me sad
With a love so sweet it makes me sad
