Contexto: Xena, la princesa guerrera, acaba de salvar a Joxer.
Quál sería la traducción de only en el siguiente diálogo?

swords, the duel? Only, you had a second chance to save Joxer."

Joxer: "Please-- I had the situation totally under control."

Xena: "Joxer may be still alive, but someone else is dead. And
there are a whole lot of angry people in this village who
consider us the enemy. So, watch your step."
