The very least Swift could do was accept the cracker Seel was offering. It wasn't an apology, but it was probably the closest he was going to get and he'd learned to live with that. Better than nothing. He took a tentative bite to buy himself some time to think of anything else to say that wouldn't set Seel off again. That was far more challenging than it should have been. Granted, both of the were in a bad mood now, but still, it shouldn't have been so difficult.

Eventually, he just had to go with the the simplest thing he could come up with, and it didn't even really add much.

"Thank you." At least he wasn't being antagonistic, that had to be good for something, right?

"Is that really worth it?"
