There was disappointment on Peleus' face despite the swollen nose. He couldn't even break through the barrier Achilles had set up. There was a wall so thick that even his own mother was forced out of it. The brute was making a big mistake and there was nothing as parents that they could do but watch him fall.
It was a hit that Peleus took heavily but he didn't have time to show or think about it. He was rushed with Thetis through the sea of flashing lights and cameras. When they got out of the restaurant and able to breathe, he could feel his own heartbeat through the bridge of his nose. It was going to bruise and yet that was the last part of him that hurt as hard.
