"Would you be happy as a guard?" Safrin wonders. There is real fight in Harper, this she can feel clearly. But would his talents be wasted, relying simply on muscle? "I wonder if perhaps we might find you a way into Torchline's Government...you could guard the docks physically of course, or you could keep your finger on the pulse of things in other ways." Seemingly indifferent, the choice is his to make, Safrin shrugs.
Harper is neither a bull nor a snake, but something in-between. Graceful, strong, and clever, it would be a disservice to them both to see his talents wasted simply in their combined eagerness to find a place for him.
