this this this BUT I feel like some of the others he will eventually get used to and become more acclimated to their presences. obviously he will still be on guard, but I can definitely see after a few times or twenty he will ease a bit around breanna (she's such a non-threat and hardison's little sister, so it's easier to let her past those iron gates that defend his mind). he will still always be aware of her at all times like most people (bar two), but he lets his defenses down a bit more with breanna. she's soft, she cares, she couldn't hurt him even if she tried (most people can't). she can tease and jest but would never intentionally hurt him, so to some extent he lets her have a pass
he'd like to say the same about sophie- he loves sophie, she's family. but she also has used her freaky mind powers on him multiple times over the years so yeah, she's not quite on thin ice but he always is slightly suspicious (in a mostly playful, familial way. but still. not falling for that again in this lifetime because dammit, sophie!)
harry is something akin to family after a while, but he still keeps his guard up around him. it's just his code of conduct. he isn't like sophie or breanna, and certainly not like parker or hardison to him. surprisingly, harry gets it though, and respects it after noticing how eliot reacts when harry is in his space
