Did Xever even resent Bradford for his mutation?

I thought about this last time I watched The Gauntlet.

Bradford was obviously a bit of an insane zealot if he was willing to die just to take the turtles out, but Xever was never that devoted to Shredder’s cause and probably would not have chosen to die. (Remember, Bradford didn’t understand it was a mutagen bomb, hen thought it was explosive.)

So not only did Bradford try to kill him, but his incompetence caused him to be turned into a fish monster. But I don’t remember a single instance in the show where Xever holds even a tiny bit of animosity towards him for this. Which is kind annoying, since I really enjoyed their little rivalry in the early part of season 1.

Instead, they both just kind of accept it and more or less work together fine once Xever gets his robot legs.
