Harper

May you be always heartbreaking
Taking a little more than you give

Ah, Flora.

Strangely enough, despite having bluntly turned down Phoebe's interference, Harper is far less bothered by her insistence on singling him out this time. Maybe it's because he got laid recently?

Regardless, his answer is far less eloquent in comparison to Hadama's. Despite the physical reliefs boosting his mood, Harper has had too many shit seasons in a row - his goddess disappearing is simply the cherry on top.

"That is a question we would all like to ask Safrin, I'm sure." For she had said nothing. Implied everything. Left them with questions and nary a breadcrumb to lead them down a trail toward an answer. Sunjata's subtle poison has made him restless, wondering and posing questions to an empty space that will not speak back. "But what she shared with Ronin and Deimos is what we have to work on. It is very little, yes, but sharing it is better than withholding it." So go ask Ronin about it yourself, if you know him so well, he bites back on saying, because even he knows it's too childish.

"Our hands are tied so to speak, as we must finish the quest we've already started. Personal improvement and defenses are not something we can control, but we suggest them. Heavily." Lest their citizens be unprepared despite all the magical improvements the previous rulers had put in place over the years. It may seem out of character for Harper to be so somber, but this may be the only way to impart the severity of the situation upon them all, to encourage them to take action.
