It's cute you think I can't. [ And it will get Harry killed. Part of him wants to tell him more. That should John ever run to the basement, Harry following would spell his doom. There there is a bullet that almost literally has Harry's name on it. That every building he renovates is prepared for their final stand off. He will be ready for the day Dresden comes for him if he cannot be ready for the alternative. ]
[ Seeing the way Dresden's scarred hand is still recovering sours John. He puts his hand more fully around the scarred mess, stilling Harry's tiny placating motion. John doesn't deserve it anyway. Without trying, he gets caught up in the strange feel of the skin there: cool, with an illusion of slickness from the complete lack of prints. The skin feels very thin. Perhaps Harry should keep wearing his glove, protect himself more... ]
That's more your field. I'm not a risk-taker, Mr. Dresden. [ Bracing himself, John looks at Harry. For the first time since they met, it's a struggle to meet his eyes. ] This evening being something of an exception.
