| Harper moved to get on her knees on the floor so she could be more level with what she was working on, going to remove the bandaging carefully. "Griffith, I told you this- if this started- after the gunshot, I don't want you-" She took a deep breath, trying to get her thoughts together. "How many times are you going to come home wounded like this? Is this a fucking stab wound?" |

| "It is, but it isn't-ow- that bad." Griffith tried to insist as Harper took the bandage off to assess the damage. "I don't do it on purpose, Harper, it's just...it's just a hazard of the gig." |

| "Goddamn it, Griff... it is bad, regardless. What if it was something vital? Like the gunshot?" Harper pointed out before biting her bottom lip hard as she grabbed the alcohol. |

| "Well, I'm not dumb, Harper. I know when to go to the hospital." Griffith scoffed, a little annoyed at the scolding. |

| "You didn't when you had been shot, Griffith." Harper said back a little sharply, irritated. |

| "It wasn't bad." Griffith said, trying to tamp down his own annoyance. Of course, he knew Harper had every right to be mad, but he still felt like it was a bit unfair to him. After all, he never meant to end up in these situations. |

| "You had a hole in your shoulder! Like you have a hole in your side!" Harper said, looking up at him like he wasn't really fully understanding this situation at all. |

| "Okay, yeah, you're right, but I don't know what you want me to do about it, Harper! I can't tell the guy attacking me 'Hey, my wife said not to stab me or shoot me, could you not rough me up?'" Griffith said, throwing his hands up, exasperated himself. |

| Harper let out an angry huff from her nose, cleaning up the wound before going to look for her stitch kit. "You- you shouldn't even be there, Griffith." |

| "...No." Harper admitted in quiet frustration as she finally found the kit. "But when is enough, enough, Griff?" she challenged back a bit. |

| "I don't...listen," Griffith let out a little sigh and leaned down to touch Harper's face, trying to get her to look at him, "listen...I don't know. I wish I did, but I don't, but I promise you, when I figure it out, when I know it's okay to leave, I'll be here. I'll be back home in a heartbeat." |

| Harper pursed her lips, more sadly than frustrated this time as she looked up at him. "Griffith... it's getting harder to explain to the boys... I... Tessy and Harlow are still too little to really notice but... the twins do now. They notice..." |

| "Okay... I understand that. I'll work harder to...I'll try and be more careful with the scrapes, okay? I can't promise I won't get hurt, but I'll be more aware, alright?" Griffith said, rubbing his thumb against Harper's cheek. "So...please, don't stay mad at me? I hate when you're mad at me...especially when I'm home." |

| "I don't like being mad at you." Harper admitted with a wavering little sad sigh. |
