"Between you and I, there is nothing to smooth over, is there? But after such exertions, a bit of refreshment would not go amiss, I think." Because both Hel and Yotsuyu had had a bit of an inadvertent workout, there, whether they had intended to or not. She did not think Hel had done anything precisely wrong; nor had Hel been in her proper mindset. Had that been the case, it was likely that nothing at all would have happened.
