Your experience, your skills, you know I count on 'em. You've got to find a way to deal with your frustrations in a way that does not interrupt your work or mine, especially now, with everything that is going on. I need you to have my back, to be here with me." Physically AND mentally.

There was only so much 'free-spiritedness' that an Auror could claim and still be effective.
At the fist banging Damien quirked an eyebrow and sat back in his seat. "Would you have me tell them exactly how ignorant I think they all are? They are too busy building these grand schemes that the damn answers are blaring in their faces and they can't see it. It makes me crazy. And I do have your back. Always. To suggest otherwise is ridiculous," Damien said and then clenched his jaw tight, muscles jumping slightly.

"Look... You CAN count on me. I have had some things going on... making my patience quite thin. Can I ask you this... if they start making idiotic remarks and disrespecting me am I free to tell them just what I think?" he said in a calmer, more even tone as he unclenched his jaw.
