Harper
A sheepish but unrepentant grin is immediately summoned at her light teasing, conceding her accuracy with a boyish shrug and head roll combo. "Yeah, you got me there. I'll make sure to get some new clothes before I go if nothing else!" It was a shame Stormbreak didn't allow Abandoned, it would have been nice to get a warming tonic just in case from the alchemist types he often saw in Torchline.
He feels immediately guilty for having inspired the dimming of light on Lena's face, and can't help but frown slightly, reaching out with one hand to gently touch his fingers to the back of one of her own. "I'm sorry. I can't imagine how tough that is. Does she simply not want to lead, or do the people not desire her?" He doesn't know more than the woman's name from his frequent visits before the war, so he wouldn't assume anything. "That's a very noble cause to strive for at the very least! If there's anything I or Torchline can do in an official capacity, all you have to do is send me a letter. I'm happy to help or rally the troops." With their smaller population, they'd likely need outside help regardless.
