[Nah. It takes an unbelievable amount of punishment to put Raphael down for the count. In fact, that he even bothered to stop and catch his breath speaks volumes of how much he trusts Santo not to make fun of him or think less of him for it; it's the kind of weakness he barely shows in front of his brothers, but then again he's much more competitive with his brothers than he is with Santo.
Better be more careful next time. Santo's better than he lets on.]
You're cool with that? Just being the punching guy? [That's Raphael's role in the team and he's usually proud of it, but sometimes just being the punching guy isn't enough. Doesn't feel like enough. ...then again, thinking that always ends up getting him into trouble, especially lately.]
