Nicolas rubbed his own face and ended up crawling over, until he was on his knees next to Spike. "I've missed the heart before. It happens." It could cost a life, but still. Accidents happened. There were no guarantees. Nicolas was careful when he inspected Spike's head, relieved to see that the blood seemed to just come from a surface wound. Nothing too bad, even if he was dazed right now.
He could kick his ass, scream at him, all of that, but he recognized too much of himself in Spike to think that it would be all that successful. So instead he just looked down at him and nodded. "I understand. I do. But I promised you I'd keep them safe. I'd rather die than ever break a promise I make to you. You got that?"
