I have nothing to give you on that. I know that Gard briefed me extensively before we joined you in the Deeps, for instance, but it was only when Malvora stepped in that I felt anything significant. A fluke of human biology, perhaps? Or I'm just that dead inside, as some have said. [It is a joke, but there could be some truth to it, John thinks. With a few exceptions, he's subsumed the sort of emotions that the fae and others prey upon. Harry wears his emotions on his sleeve, letting them burn slow like embers just under the surface. It's so easy to stoke a fire in him.
There is so much care in Dresden's hands that it's a jolt when they're suddenly not there anymore. After the last time, John never expected anything but coldness and dispassion from Harry, because Harry seemed the type to hold a grudge. It was as though he'd forgotten to though. And looking at him, Harry looked like John felt: off center.]
I've walked away from worse. A bad fall isn't worth worrying about. [Then, just as carefully as Dresden had been holding his hands:] Will you accompany me? A quick written statement would help corroborate my formal filing against Summer. Also, I have central heating.
