And as much as we'd like it to be otherwise, this may be exactly why they can't be together as long as H's in his present job. He needs "ruthless" -- it's part of the brief.

Hmm, I don't agree with this. Harry has proven that he will be ruthless when required to save the country, even with Ruth there to temper his actions. But I do think she would prevent him from losing his humanity by doing ruthless things for purely personal reasons. The greater threat for Harry is that she will be his weakness - his enemies can use threats against Ruth to try and manipulate Harry. Although, she is already his weakness even though they are not in a relationship...
