[ There is a sudden tension down John's arm as every muscle in it tenses. He can feel the urge to take a swing at this man for mocking him. The fact that Dresden is holding it over him, like they hadn't just spent the last night trading intimacies and secrets...
That may have been the repair that he needed.
John settles, throttling the part of himself that wants to grab Dresden and shake him or kiss him or punch him. It's just another part of himself to hold under the water until it's gone.
Steady at last, John narrows his eyes and straightens to look Dresden in the eye. ] I guess we have. So glad I've been so useful to you, Dresden. Now, if that'll be all, I believe you know the way out. If you hex my guards again, I'll buy your housing complex and turn it into a parking garage.
NO KIDDING.
