Charlie is Not Mad. Whatever caused this seems to have been out of Arthur's control, and so he is not mad at him. Gaze upon him and see how mad he isn't.
He'd punch Arthur a second time for a cigarette, but there aren't any left and so he is going to have to rawdog being completely cool and not upset about this.
He waves off John's question with a "Yeah, yeah," looking at his own grazed hands and at John's mask but not at Arthur. The back of his head is tender to touch. He purses his lips, bracing himself to start feeling the beating way more keenly now that the exciting part is over. "Just make sure he puts a fuckin' mat down first, next time."
