As much as he regretted sending the letter in the first place, he wasn't sorry for her response. Without it, he wouldn't have even been aware of the damage he had potentially caused.

If what he'd sent her had included him rambling about tattoos, he was sure drafting her response hadn't been easy. His tattoos weren't just images to him; they were important, meaningful. Even if he was incoherently drunk he was sure that would have come across as he was talking about them, which would have put her in a difficult position.
