He stops cutting in time to avoid accidentally cutting Jake's neck open (that would be a bad way to break up) and shrugs, because he's doing this fairly selfishly. "You bitch too much," is what he says, filled with all the love and affection he has for the man, because complaining about Jake's complaining is practically the first step in admitting that you're starting to get used to him.

He works the hair off of Jake's neck, cupping water in the curved palm of his hand to run over his head, brushing away strands of hair with the blunt edge of his thumbnail before he goes back to cutting the rest. "Am I still awful?" he asks, as he starts to work on trimming, getting Jake's hair back to the way he kept it on most missions.
