Tristan was one of the people who heeded the warnings of elders. After all, they were people who had been on earth a long time. They might not have looked at most of the time, but they had a lot of experience with things.
One of the lessons that Tristan had gotten from an older gentleman was...
Never ever go to war with your wife...
There's no winning there. It is nothing but pain, bloodshed, and countless hours of lost sleep. It is not worth it. At the time, Tristan had promised himself that he would adhere to that advice. It had sounded pretty solid after all. For the most part, he had done that. But in the current situation that he was in, Tristan felt that he had no choice but to fight Ariel. And it was not a fight that he intended to lose. He would be taking no prisoners.
After all, in their current situation, the two of them were not a married couple. They were sworn enemies.
A paintball war.
