"You were distracted. It happens" She told him gently, trying to make him not feel so guilty about the whole thing. They both missed the signs during this job so it wasn't fair for him to take all of the blame. She wasn't going to let him do that. They were partners, after all. "We survived it and we're together again. Focus on that" She pointed out, leaning in to give him a kiss. While tough as nails, Brennan could be soft when she needed to be and at this point in time, it just felt right to be.
Pulling away from the kiss, she hit him he talked about her brother like that when she frowned he winched. Oops, she forgot he had been injured too and probably in pain like she was. There was a look on her face that said sorry before they began talking about her health. "I thought I'd give it a try this time" She replied with a shrug of her shoulders. It was true, she was pretty stubborn and usually did what she wanted, not listening to anyone but family and Tommy. Screw higher authority. She was making an exception this time only because she hurt like hell and she was weak so it was probably a good idea.
"I have other useful skills" She told him in Arabic, reminding him of her omnilanguage ability. She could do something with that no doubt.
