Scooting onto the seat, a bit reluctant to pull away from him, she crossed her legs in the nook, allowing him to take her hand. A small nod left her at his words, though it still took her a moment to tell him what had happened. "I just... didn't like seeing you get hurt, especially after what you told me over breakfast." Her eyes never settled on his as she spoke, instead they rested on their hands.

"And then you just forgave her..." She bit her bottom lip. "I just wish you weren't so forgiving sometimes." It was silly and foolish of her, especially since she DID like that about him for the most part. Just not when it caused him harm.

Some sort of wince stole through him at her words. He probably should have guessed that from the beginning. Should have remembered their conversation a little more clearly. And he kicked himself internally for it.

Chewing on the inside of his lip, he watched his fingers trace over the back of her hand for a moment before speaking quietly. "It...was an accident on her behalf, Arya. She didn't mean to hit me. Not like before." His brow furrowed a little bit. "There is a big difference between Lexi's hit as an accident and as intentional. If I held an accident against her, would I not be as good as her when she intentionally hits me?" Another shrug left his shoulders, his eyes flicking up to hers briefly before looking down. "People always deserve a second chance...in my opinion anyways. Right or wrong."

It still didn't feel good, the knowledge that he had in a way, completely sidelined his promise to her, and that he was in a way, making excuses for it. "I'm sorry..." Because really, what else was there to say?
