[not a child, a confused old man, clearly. when he starts stripping Hershel turns away because he also isn't a savage, looking through his things for a moment, hoping to find something Jake can dry off with. he still had half a jumpsuit from that puzzle room, that would have to do. better than nothing, right?
he doesn't try to make conversation when Jake's having a huge party, just hangs out, glancing over occasionally to make sure he's okay. when/if Jake moves away from the waterfall Hershel will put the half jumpsuit into his arms, otherwise enjoy that wonderful shower, truly.]
