Douche had a pair o’ scissors with ‘im,” he reasoned, walking them further down the sidewalk. “How’s your head? Still hurtin’?” he added and snickered, though joking was probably the last thing he should do at the moment. “I’m startin’ ‘o think ya won’t make it home tonight. Your place is too far from ‘ere.”
