It goes a small way to salvaging his stung pride, but in the end, he'd still failed to uphold his end of the deal. He lets his head loll against the window with a tired sigh. What a night this has been.

"Don' worry," he says faintly. "Met a witch doctor once...who nearly cursed me when I...tried to flip her skirt..."

He passes out before he can finish the thought.
