A pretty good job. John barely resists the urge to roll his eyes, focusing instead on applying some of the cream to the other side of his face where it's sore before checking over his knuckles.
"See, where I come from conversations are a give and take thing. It's an exchange of information, that's how people get to know one another. For example, my name's John and I'm better at fights that aren't bare-knuckle."
So there, now this person knows several things about him! John sets aside the tube and picks up the spray to examine, hesitates before shaking it a little and misting it over his knuckles. The reaction is instant -- John barely manages to set down the spray and grab the counter as white-hot pain flares through his hands. A few seconds later it begins to fade, and as the ringing in his ears begins to subside John hesitantly glances down at his hand.
