"Alfendi..." Hershel paused, trying to think of a way to sort of explain how the hell that nonsense happened to Sasuke without giving the room away to Heiji. What a puzzle. "Let's just say he took a somewhat aggressive approach to the room." He punched Bluebell. That's what happened. He's an idiot.

"I'm glad the three of you didn't take a similar approach." He was pretty sure Snake and Sasuke would be good, Ema... well, she had her moments with life choices.

And clearly he's worried about Heiji because that's who Hershel's worried about. "Sasuke's right, you should rest here, Heiji, I'll go try to find Alfendi, okay?"
