"The war, as is on the mind of nearly everyone else." Gideon's words, Phoebe's mission, his own scarcely burgeoning purpose as a man of Safrin. Maea is not the only one directionless. As her hand falls away, Harper tilts his head to regard her - though his eyes have yet to leave her, it seems he finds something new every time he refocuses on her face. "If you are still loyal to Ludo, what will you do? The Voice can use and control you at any moment. I'm surprised she hasn't tried to stop you already." The Voice doesn't seem the type to resist intervening if one of her children went off the destined path. Though perhaps that is Harper's approximation of her, painted by others, considering he has never met the goddess.
