( shanks learned the hard way that not every battle can be won. or should be won. that knowing when to retreat is more valuable than headfirst, reckless abandon. this is one of those times shanks realizes it's better to withdraw than further incite set's ire. he doesn't want to fight, anyway. he's done enough fighting for one day. )
Alright. ( in a tone that seems to say i'll take that under advisement next time. only they both know, realistically, he will not. still, it's with an open-hearted honesty that he admits, ) I'm sorry.
( would he do it again? yes. but he might have told set beforehand, if he could go back. he'd underestimated saber, and now set is paying for it — playing nurse to his stupid, injured husband. who could have died, again, if a piece of rib had pierced his lung. he was foolish. but he always has been, when it comes to the defense of his loved ones.
lightly, his fingers brush through set's hair, drawing several locks to his lips to bestow a lingering kiss. )
