The moment the show is over girl turns tail and walks back. The deflated male walks around venting his anguish but no words seem to come out.
Thats as far as our friend got so thats the end of our photo story :)
Note: This routine was performed by quite a few pairs probably repeatedly. But they always ended similarly though the female would not walk away in all cases. It seemed like they performed the whole display save the final act. Is this a dry run or just a bonding mechanism? The male walking around 'coughing' felt like he would cough out a fish for the female but it never was the case in any of the displays.
