There's a small pause before he continues. "It's been two years since all of that happened. My mind got healed, I'm more strong willed in both aspects that I was meant to. So I'm not... exactly failed anymore."

He smirks a bit at him. "As long as you don't bring it up. I may have to start saying you missed the chance to put the earrings on me."
