Shrieky might be prepared to make a token almost apology, but he's not going to encourage any more piling of the blame onto him than is entirely necessary. "I don't think that someone's cheeks tearing open is a foreseeable consequence of rudeness. It's not entirely my fault."

Still, the holes in his cheeks are disturbing, and Shrieky doesn't want to be distracted by reminders that he started this brief, upsetting argument. "So what can I do to help? Do you require bandages? Or... a needle and thread?" Because really, looking at the damage, he can't think of anything else that could hold the pieces of this man's face closed correctly.
