[The question makes him purse his lips, fingers twitching slightly against her hand, and he feels guilty that he was able to have fun while she was stuck at home worrying. He loses focus on most anything else when he's fighting, and...]
...Yeah. Mostly.
[There'd been not-so-fun moments, but that's the case in any battle. The aftermath hadn't been that thrilling comparatively, but he can't deny it or lie to her; he wasn't miserable. It was a wild fight. He feels like he should apologize for that too, but what would that mean? That he's sorry it didn't go worse? Sorry he didn't have a terrible time of it, helping a friend? That he hadn't been proven wrong or given people the chance to say "told you so" after he got hurt and didn't have enough back-up? It wouldn't be all that sincere, and he'd rather figure out what he actually did wrong than offer empty platitudes.]
