HARPER
As the groom to be approaches, Harper gently relinquishes his hold on Phoebe, allowing her to be taken into the other man's embrace. He folds his hands at the small of his back and takes a few steps away, giving them some privacy to speak in murmured tones together if they wish. He's not here to play judge and jury, to stick his nose into their private business. He hadn't even meant to interfere in the first place, not until Phoebe had reached for him and admitted her desire to not go through with it. So instead he waits, letting Phoebe decide what she wants for herself.
The sudden appearance of another figure stiffens his spine, knuckles creaking as they clamp down on one another to control his desire to defend himself. They are an impossibly attractive being, and Harper knows immediately that this must be Frey, offering a boyish grin of hello. He won't intrude, and backs away to let the trio speak together and decide on a course of action. Frey is right after all, and Harper understands it coming from a modern world. Divorce could be the answer within two days. But here, Phoebe holds the answers. And though he knows he shouldn't interfere, that she's more than safe with her goddess and her intended, Harper nonetheless feels the itch and desire to help as the young woman shakes apart. Standing like a guardian not far from where the trio clusters, waiting to be brought in or sent away.
{Harper is just waiting and can be skipped!}
