the echoes of the thunderclaps
reverberation of the dead
reverberation of the dead
Frustration at his own continued failure gives way to surprise, then suspicion, then distinct relief as the Kingmaker falls and finally - finally - lies still.
He knows he wasn’t utterly useless, at least he’d managed the damn barrier, but his gratitude is immensely obvious as he lands and shifts on the shore near Melita. Clapping her shoulder and giving her a small shake, Harper lets his complicated expression speak for itself; impressed, relieved, tormented, grateful. “Gods, good shooting Melita,” he murmurs.
“Nothing more than some intense bruises I think. Lucky as hell, I’d say.” All of them. Haulani included. Harper hadn’t known if they’d be able to stop it before it began damaging the city, and he’s grateful as hell that they had. Looking at the two discarded materials, Harper grabs the teeth and marvels at the size. He doesn’t really care which he gets (aka if Jack objects he’ll trade) but the size alone really drives home the narrow margin of their success.

Harper checks in with everyone and grabs the teeth, but he’s flexible if Jack wants to trade.
