Sasuke found the cord easily enough, slinging it over his right shoulder. He wasn't sure what else he could use -- or even of precisely what else had been taken -- but at least he had maintained equal footing tonight, instead of incurring yet another debt.

Although he hadn't managed to quite hold his own, given that he was the best-armed of the group. Sai and Usopp had both gotten injured, and even if Usopp had technically been the leader of the expedition, Sasuke had more combat experience than Usopp seemed to, and that made him partially responsible.

He finally wiped the lingering sense of having failed a team (however temporary) and nodded briefly to the room at large, encompassing both occupants, before heading back to the door.

"I hope to work with you both in the future," he said, a bit awkward with the formality, and stepped back out into the hall.
