He was a fool for mentioning it... Now ask him about how he beat up a robot with Jake too.

"I can't say I ever thought of it that way." Hershel answered, pausing for a long moment as he thought something over. If he was honest he felt pretty useless most of the time here, he didn't have a lot of skills besides the puzzle solving that really helped that much so he wasn't all that sure he even had ruin exploring skills Heiji mentioned. Still, sitting around whining about it was even less helpful, so why not do something about it.

And he would, being useful ahoy. "Hey, Heiji, you know first aid to an extent, right? You were quick to act when we were stabbed."
