The over-the-top reaction from Inigo should have incited a different reaction from Roland. Instead, it encourages him, secretly giddy as he is that he's gotten a chance at rebuilding a famous model from his youth now, when he's wiser, when his hands are more nimble and used to the work. As soon as Inigo falls to the ground, the cartoon villain in Roland revs to life, his expression missing only the long, thin mustache that he could twirl around his fingers.

"Looks like I got 'yer partner well and good, cowboy." He drawls at Tidus slowly this time, not laying it on so thick, but just enough to keep the facade for a time. In fact, he'll walk over like a true cowboy, pretending his regular Voidtrecker shoes were instead crafted in heavy leather as Roland crosses the counter and approaches Inigo's body on the floor. Not quite crouching, but a lean from the hip, looking over him.

"You tell 'em ranchers north of this here Kitchen car that you've got a rootin' tootin' gunslinger like me runnin' the joint. I'll do you one just like this here youngin' if you ever come back with a crazy snake in a boot again." Said snake in the boot - the instruction guide folded up the way it's given to him - disappears in his arms band, rather dramatic golden flourish of light and sparkle, before Roland leans further down and whispers in Inigo's ear.

"This is the part where you wake up and you shoot me back."
