recuperating
[Harper is settled on a low couch in what used to be an abandoned house in Kakariko but is now well on its way to becoming a bachelor's pad. The Inn, though he loved it, had grown crowded and he needed a bed during what was sure to be a lengthy recuperation from his broken leg. Telma's potions had done much to aid him and once he had up enough strength, it wasn't difficult to move into the new house.
He strums his harp idly, missing the constant commotion and low level of chatter that surrounded his days as a member of the Inn crowd. While he won't miss sleeping on the floor, he will miss knowing Jewel's nearby and that he's the bar to any danger she might encounter. He knows Linksha still lives at the Inn most days and that she's well protected under his care, but after the kiss they shared the night of the rebuilding, well, he's got some feelings to work through.
The door to his small home is left slightly ajar--he's got a crossbow within arm's reach at all times in case the tax collectors return, and the open door is his way of showing it's all right to enter freely and be welcomed.]
