[ Truth be told, the truce they have is comfortable. Berserker has been finding an identity of his own for once; it's freeing to not be forced to live as a shadow of someone else. Their relationship has softened and he can't find himself being bothered. There is, of course, still bitterness about his existence as an Alter and Caster will always be a reminder of that, nothing can ever erase that. He no longer has the overwhelming (and frankly petty) desire to make his lighter side's life difficult. This comfortable peace is preferable to bitter, meaningless fights. He'd like to preserve it.
So of course, the suggestion is met with a nod. ]
And I'll do the same for you. [ Even if his way of getting someone else out of trouble is usually violent. ] ... Though if any of the mirrorbounds hear it, that explanation might stick around once we're back in the city.
[ Twins is certainly a more comfortable explanation than the reality. ]
