Nope nope nope this was going exactly where he didn't want it to go. He's dug himself a little too far in already, and there's no way to just slide out of it. What is he supposed to say?
"I tried to attack you."
"I tried to kill you."
"I wanted to kill you."
"It might come as a surprise, but I have memories that would scare you. Hey, you might even hate me."
"You probably should hate me, you know."
...
There wasn't a way out of this. Not without playing with his words.]
It was a little violent, yeah. I pulled my sword on you.
But you weren't hurt.
[The words leave a bitter taste. It wasn't a lie, but it also wasn't entirely the truth. He doesn't know. He doesn't know and that's part of what bothers him so badly right now. But catching the look in Luke's eye, seeing how his hand is clenched into the fabric of his shirt... he knows he's already scaring his best friend enough as it is.
He doesn't like it. But dancing around the truth is much, much easier right now.
