[b]"Are you two okay? Ha, I'm not carrying any of you if you pass out."[/b]

Harper didn't really know what to say. A part of him was fearful about what had happened, yet a part of him told the boy to just shrug it off. It was over and what mattered now was that they had what they had came for and were a step closer to home. Home, the word made him ache for his mom's home cooked meals, his dad's silly jokes and his sister's loud laughter. He missed them a lot and the thought of dying in Nowhere and never seeing them again, ever, made him feel sick to his stomach too. Jasper ran to the lake and threw up and Harper straightened in place, his expression shifting into one of concern.

He took in a deep breath then focused his eyes on Ace. "I'm okay...not sure about her. Jasper?" He found it hard to look her in the eyes, but managed to in the end. Nowhere did weird things to them all, so he tried to forget what had happened in the office. It wasn't a big deal and if he allowed his thoughts to linger on it then things would have been awkward and he didn't want that. "Are you okay?" Jasper wiped at her mouth and blamed it on the adrenaline. "Okay."

Harper continued holding the papers in Ace's direction and the girl read through them, just as chipper as ever. How had she handled the bunnies so calmly? In a way she reminded him of his reckless sister. Then Ace suggested rather teasingly that the duo have a break and Harper felt the heat return to his face. "N-No, I'm good though if Jasper wants to rest we should all stick together. Nowhere can be a scary place..." Memories of the choatic star came flashing back and he hoped the Siren would be just a siren or something like Martini and not some Crocosharkgator. Knowing Nowhere though, he didn't know what to expect. 

"Let's head to the lake together," his voice was firmer now. "If anything goes wrong, we'll be together." He wasn't calm like Haku, brave like Iro, or fearless like Mado, but he thought stuff through, weighed his options and tried his darnedest to be as reasonable as he could be. Harper tucked the newspaper clippings into his bag for safe keeping, waited for Jasper to recover then turned to Ace with a slight smile. "You can lead the way," he offered before waiting for both girls to walk ahead. He trailed behind them and focused his eyes on the fluffy clouds that rolled across the sky like lazy sheep. Nowhere was frighteningly beautiful, and as much as he adored the constellations in Nowhere's sky, he feared the place more than anything else.

"Ace, Jasper, what do you think we should find?" He wondered if Haku and the others were luckier and wished them the best. They had to finish the list...they just had to.
