Phineas' scowl matched that if his wife, but his was deeper and more resigned; he likely had more practice with it. "I'm not doing this with you now." This was ridiculous.

"You should rest. We'll speak of any other matters later." The knock against his capabilities as a husband waa not lost on him; Phineas knew he was absent, neglectful really, but there were too many rifts between them to fully sew the divide back together. Still, he wasn't having this argument right now.
