every fighter knows that in some battles, there comes a point when fighting for the sake of surviving becomes fighting for the sake of fighting, because winning is no longer an option. the options become death or surrender, and the fight is for pride alone.
on the battlefield he knows when he is beaten, knows when to withdraw and when to continue, and though he has never surrendered, he will not hold his generals to account for it.
peter stops fighting. with the weight of his brother's kiss on his brow, he puts his head back against the wall and closes his eyes, parts his lips, lets all the tension go out of him.
he's always trusted his brother.
(uh, peter having control issues and magic issues?)
