[He'll find this Scrooge has placed a handkerchief beside his glass, if he should want use of it.
He doesn't say anything either, he doesn't have much to say. What is there? Come be part of our family? That's his instinct, having brought in the lost before, but he knows his double would reject that so hard it'd leave an imprint. He'd about do the same thing, in this situation. And he doesn't know enough about the other Scrooge's life yet to make counterarguments. The alcohol, too, is making it difficult to marshall up any helpful words.
So instead he lapses into silence, deciding to top off one more shot. The bottle was nearly empty anyway, but he left what remained in there for the other duck.]
