[There's a long pause here as he weighs the options. On one hand, it doesn't seem like the guards are easy to take down, especially already wounded as he is, and on the other, he's already seen them batter down others who've tried. More importantly, some of them are led out, where? He's not sure, but they don't come back and that leaves Russia assuming the worst. So he settles in for answering, perhaps not as best as he could, but it's the truth.]
I don't know I think I took too many shocks earlier I'm not sure I can take more down like this
[Not that he wouldn't try, there's still a pistol hidden away and his pipe had somehow made it with him on the trip, perhaps because he was still entirely too paranoid to let go. That said, he's got to focus on the now. The second question is left blank, there's reasons he could fill in, but they're all guesswork and conjunction, none of them likely to help at this point.]
