"No, you have nothing to apologize for Aeneas," said Matt softly. "You and I, we're friends. Friends don't have to apologize for conflicting knowledge, only apologize for when we wrong each other. You didn't believe in magic but now you do. That's nothing to apologize for, but to learn and grow."

He smiled at his friend as he continued to heal and treat his wounds. "Merry Christmas Aeneas. This has been the most fun I've had in ages."
