"Me? I'm doing just fine!" ...That wasn't actually true, and his act was transparent: he tried to go on about how 'it was nothing' and such, but talking so loud wasn't something he was able to do without tiring himself out or hurting himself. Yeah... his chest hurt. Impulsively, his arm braced himself from further pain. He knew she'd probably be able to see through that.

"Well, kind of," he added quietly, trying to relax his body. "I think I owe you an apology. For doing something stupid."

He forgot what he told himself he'd apologize for after Cress left earlier. It was probably for overstating himself even though he'd admitted to the whole network that he was in need of much training... but he had a hard time acknowledging that, too. Chili was just too embarrassed to let himself remember that bit of the apology.
