He's ready to do as she says when he's unceremoniously shoved back into the dirt by Charlie's hand; it'd normally earn him a few colourful words, but with Chloe in the state she's in, he knows well enough to keep any hostile commentary to himself.
At least he's free to stand, then, and he does it easily enough. There's very little staggering, though that's only on account of some effort. He runs a hand over his mouth to clear blood away, but it's a pointless maneuver; same for checking for teeth with the numbness still hanging on. He's fairly certain they're all there.
He avoids spitting to keep it classy (it's the little details), resumes his placating approach. Calling it uncharacteristic would be correct - he wants nothing more than to borrow that gun from Chloe and put a bullet in Charlie's head, but keeping up appearances and all that, right?
"Look, no harm done. Let's all just lower our weapons, shall we?"

... that means you, Chloe.
