Title: Asking for Trouble
Fandom: Dresden Files
Spoilers: None, but it's set somewhere between Summer Knight and Death Masks.
Rating: PG
Summary: Harry gets in trouble.
Murphy stares at him, her expression totally blank. “Dresden, what exactly were you thinking? No, forget that,
were you thinking?”
Better to be honest. “I don’t think I was,” he admits, as the doctor finishes bandaging his arm. “It didn’t look all that dangerous, Murph. Really. It was just this pink blob.”
“So of course you poked it with a stick.” She’s still expressionless.
“Well, yeah, it’s me,” he says. What did she expect?
She must be really mad this time, though. He has to keep himself from asking the doctor to stay and defend him from a Murphying.
She watches the doctor leave, then looks back at him, and a reluctant smile crosses her lips. “A Vermicious Knid, Harry? Really?”
He watches her, watches that smile, and knows she isn’t angry, only worried, and a little annoyed because he was stupid.
His heart lifts. He can live with that.
