HARPER
Admittedly Harper is oblivious to the nature of Deimos’ confusion - even in Torchline, where the locals are used to him climbing buildings and hopping along rooftops to avoid crowds, the man somehow remains blind to the fact that not everyone is accustomed to such acrobatics. Likely because, like Deimos, nobody is ever blunt enough to ask. And so his shenanigans continue unquestioned.

The man’s suggestion makes a bubble of mirth escape his chest. “She’d love it I’m sure, but maybe one for each so we don’t invite the wrath of the others?” Though admittedly neither Frey nor Ludo are the vain types the same way as Safrin, probably best to be as equal as possible.

DEIMOS

Pondering over the perplexities, he gave Harper an arch of his brow. “It is her and Vi’s shrine.” She’d probably be more irritated if she wasn’t showcased properly – but to his credit, even if they managed to garner the glass in other shapes and deities of Caido, he could probably manage to sneak in more than one Safrin motif in each.

Then he began to craft, stretching his hands out from one another once more, allowing the gilded proportions to take on their outlines and denizens with ease – the picture clear in his mind. Forming between his calloused palms was certainly a glass framework of a window, embedded with vibrant details and hues; an elongated shore, waves sweeping in, with the stars reaching vast and overhead, outshining the rest of the canvassed surface. When he ceased, he lifted it up to show Harper and weigh out the approval or dissatisfaction.

HARPER
Harper’s surprise is an easy thing, no hard feelings over his own inadequacies. “Oh! I thought all shrines were simply Old God shrines. Lucky I haven’t messed up yet I suppose huh?” he laughs, pink creeping bashful along his cheeks and illuminating his ears. He’d never sought out anyone but Ludo, and he’d understandably gone to the woods named after the deity for that. And he’d never gone back considering how it had gone.

Harper perches on the railing easily, legs folded beneath him dangerously as he eagerly watches Deimos work. Enchanted by the way such a large and seemingly stoic man can create something so beautiful and delicate. When it’s held up for review Harper - having never learned things like reticence or self-consciousness - displays his stunned and amazed expression guilelessly. “Wow…Deimos, this is incredible. You are amazing.” His sincerity is blatant, unable to even look away from the glass.

DEIMOS

Snorting, mostly out of good humor in the state of confusion over shrines, he finished a gilded embellishment along the length of the window’s frame, head bowed towards his work. “There are several in Torchline for each Old God. Ludo has one down by the port, and Frey by Rainbow Road.” The only generic one he’d found was the monument in the depths of the sea, uncertain if that important or not; unless Harper would be one to venture in the ocean.

But his gaze whipped back upwards at the compliment, piercing eyes widening for a fraction of a second – half-tempted to mention that he was nowhere near amazing. Much, much less. The level of self-deprecation was beginning to wreak its way across his mind, crawling, as it so often did, in moments like these. Instead, he breathed though, pondering how best to accept such a statement, and opted for gratitude. “Thank you,” with a smile tucked in the corner of his mouth for good measure. “I can keep making them, if you want to put them in?”

HARPER
A sheepish grin meets the man’s explanation, appreciative for the preemptive saving of Harper’s hide. “I owe you one, never good to make an ass of yourself in front of a god,” he chuckles. While Frey would surely be good-natured about it considering his connection with Phoebe, if he brought the wrong gift to Ludo Harper isn’t sure he’d enjoy the consequences.

The man has few tells, and if Harper did not have the past he did the surprise would have slipped by him, but his heart squeezes emphatically at the reaction. Instead of letting it show he continues to smile warmly, dropping his gaze to the glass again so as not to draw attention to Deimos’ reaction. He seems the type to appreciate that. “Gosh I’m scared to touch it but if it means you can make more…” he grins impishly and carefully takes the glass, giving everything around them a wide berth as he walks over to the empty panes to begin fitting it in where the old glass had once been.

DEIMOS

Deimos shrugged his shoulders, allowing the ghosts of amusement to intermingle with his concentrated work. And maybe another warning as well, amongst the guidance. “There are Ascended shrines too.” Though theirs seemed to be far more furtive; recalling the one Rexanna had led them to, amidst the library, collected behind shelves and protection. He could understand why – given predilections as of late, and half the notions of them being destroyed.

Arching a brow at the insinuation that Harper would break the glass, the cool measures of his smile remained. “I trust you are capable,” considering the man had launched from the railing without issue. But he watched, just in case, before bowing his head and beginning to create once more – the gilded entanglements flowing from his palms in a habitual pattern, the glass and details taking shape in a darker shade, of the rivulets and canals manifested along Torchline’s city, created by the deity and bridged by the cosmos.

HARPER
Harper tries to conceal the slight frown at that particular tidbit of information, but admittedly despite his normally impeccable control. Deimos perhaps shouldn’t feel like a safe person to emote that reaction around, but he does. His loyalty to Safrin, at least, is something Harper knows secondhand. “Hm. I suppose it…makes sense there are.” Picking each word with painful deliberation made apparent by the awkward slowness of the sentence.

But he is the king of rallying, and the mood will not break entirely so long as he is there! Winking boyishly at Deimos’ cool (in all ways) drawl, he works on installing the glass. He has had to learn to be a full construction worker since arriving in Caido, it’s a career change he never anticipated admittedly. When he can push on it firmly from both sides, he nods in satisfaction and strolls back in, metal flooring of the outer rim tapping beneath his boots. Leaning in through the doorway he peers at the next panel, making appreciative noises. “I think you missed your calling as an artist!”

DEIMOS

For half a moment, Deimos wondered where Harper’s ignorance stemmed from – perhaps burying his head in the sand, or contemplating other ventures, other notions, beyond the one staring them all in the face. Perhaps it was a sort of reprieve, without the daunting notions of pending things – enviable, maybe, to a certain extent. So he withheld any further judgement, obliging the statement with a vague snort, insinuating nothing.

“Doubt it,” he murmured, though he’d heard the remark before. Often, the only canvas he’d worked with had been battlefields. “But thank you just the same.”

In the end, they’d have completed the panes, hastening the windows shut to keep the birds aloft and out, and the beauty to remain amongst and amidst the lighthouse.
