He'd initially held back to keep an eye on the back of the group, to make sure they weren't being ambushed, and by the time he'd been ready to fight.. literally everyone was already occupied with a fight. Though disappointed he hadn't gotten to prove himself - he'd been eager to show his father what he was willing to do to defend his family - he was not exactly hoping for more fighting.

It didn't do much good to keep dwelling on it. She seemed just as happy to move their conversation in a different direction. He offered a faint, half-hearted laugh of his own to her comment. "Still, probably a word to avoid," he commented dryly. Surely he'd get a talking to from his father if he caught him saying that, especially using Italian to be deceptive about it. Whoops. "Along with puttana," he'd add with another chuckle, knowing she'd be curious what it meant. |
