[ You and Gavin getting into fights has been pretty common over the years, Hank. But the rest of what he says makes him sigh again, nodding. He gets it, Hank's just protective. He has to be, with everything he's lost, right? Gavin's only had to look after himself for so long... ]

I know, I won't do anything stupid to get us in trouble. [ He keeps tapping his fingers against his knees. ] Just don't go growling and waving your dick around too much either. It was hardly just me, buddy.

[ He looks back at him. ] And isn't the whole point that eventually I can protect myself anyway?
