HARPER
I stood outside when the roof gave in
You crawled from the wreckage you were lying in
You crawled from the wreckage you were lying in
Sobriety is a long way off, but sitting in the sunlight and listening to Sohalia while also having paused in his drinking makes small bits of clarity begin to shine like dappled sunlight in the fog and murk of his brain. Enough to prompt him to rub a hand over his face, wondering vaguely why he feels so worn down. What day was it even?
Perhaps it would make him concerned, but he knows Sunjata too well to even begin questioning the implications of their meeting. Instead, he smiles. "You've always been so helpful," he praises, sweet as honey and twice as proud. Though it makes him sigh immediately afterward, the thoughts of Edmund and Jude encroaching now that the paternal sentiment has dawned on him, and unable to fully push them aside this time. Instead, he tries to focus on the child he has in front of him. "So what brings you here, honey? You said you uh," he quickly scans his recent memory for her explanation, aware he is displaying his inebriation but not wanting to show how badly, "needed a break, right? Everything okay?" Because even in the depths of his rediscovery and selfishness, he can't ignore the idea of her hurting, even if it's belated.

You're out of reach and we're out of time, I take it all and toe that line
You held my hand and pulled me down with you
You held my hand and pulled me down with you
