[Even though Raphael talks about it in a way that might suggest that he doesn't care, Santo gets it. He's seen the way that Raphael gets over his brothers, they've talked about Mikey and Donnie at different points. Santo understands, because he has to do the same thing.
He's just happy relieved that Raphael hasn't lost anyone yet.] I had a teammate die in my arms, bro.
[He says that just as gruffly as Raph spoke before, and leave it at that. He wasn't even the leader of that team, but it was still enough to scare him off of ever really wanting that kind of responsibility. Putting himself in danger was nothing, he did that without even thinking, but if it was someone else...]
No kidding. Every team needs a strong badass, and that just has to be us. [He smiles a little as they fall back into the sparring, not trying to hurt Raphael really, so when it starts to be more about the form of each move, Santo actually ends up trying to fight a bit more cleanly. Not that his form is anything compared to Raph's, be he can at least try not to embarrass himself so much.]
You've gotta teach me some of these moves sometime.
