[There's a break in that tough guy tone of his, maybe the remnants of his high is helping him be a little more honest. He looks a little awkward, and there may be a little guilt peeking through the way he's looking at Archie.
He holds that pause for a little too long, and what he initially wants to say dies in his throat. Maybe it's his nature to not apologize, maybe it's his conditioning, either way his mind tells him that he shouldn't apologize for something that he didn't do on purpose. That had it been his choice, he wouldn't have done that to Archie, that it's different than what Lucina did to him.
Even if it was just as traumatic to the other trainer, but it's different. It's not worth apologizing over. It's not his fault.]
That's fine, go if y'want, but...
[He looks away from Archie, a hand rubbing at the back of his head. He might not apologize, but he can show gratitude, at the very least.]
