Blame game

"I mean, look at it from my perspective. During the epic Dragon Chase scene, I heroically saved your life at the cost of my own arms, and you showed worry for me. But then I made a little joke-"

"A little?"

"Then I pulled off a non-little prank on you which you take way too seriously and beat me up like I was an unloved 7th step child, even though I was crippled and thus unable to defend myself without hurting you."

"…" She averted her gaze.

"After that, you left me, a guy who was too injured to defend himself against any danger, to fend for himself in a forest full of monsters."

"I… needed some time to think for myself. And I cast a barrier around that place to keep the monsters away. I had also healed you to the point that you wouldn't have died."

Oh, making excuses, are we?

Except that she's telling the truth.
