[ There's an approximately 0.000001 second delay before that response happens since he's all too cheerfully holding onto the shoes. Like Sylvain said: all too convenient for keeping Hilda from slipping away whether her threat to do so earlier was real or not. In theory, anyway. She could probably outrun them both if she felt like it.
That concern feels far away here with their fellow revelers making - or stumbling - their own ways home while they head back to the inn themselves. Hilda's mild protest about the kazoo being better gets him to look up from his focus half on not dropping the shoes to meet an untimely end and half on making sure he's walking in a mostly straight line. That's when he notices the careful eye being kept on his shoe guardianship and he shoots a wink Hilda's direction. ]
The kazoos are great, but Sylvain's right that the sketches outranked them. Besides, everyone got a kazoo but not everyone got a sketch, so that means they win by default.
[ This is also sound logic he's not going to hear otherwise on even if he's misremembering the earlier part of the night. ]
And I think I ate my weight in the food they had on offer. What do you think the chances are that we can smuggle some of it back with us through the portal when it's time to go? Or maybe just a couple of casks of wine might be alright, too.
