Heiji looked surprised but happy, despite the knife still sticking out of his leg. He limped over at once to give Hershel one of those overly exuberant shounen side-hugs. "Hey, will ya look at that? Your deduction was right on the mark! I thought we were gonna be in it for sure!"

And of course he had to go over and visit Jake, as well. He stuck out a hand. "Sorry, fella. I had you figured wrong. Still not sure I understand your reasoning from last round, but you ain't all bad. Take care of that cut, yeah? I was thinking it might be good for both sides to go with Betray this time just to pick up some medical supplies, but with any luck, it'll heal up on its own."

He lowered his voice a little. "Oh, and don't let it get ya too down -- helpin' a lady's what being a gentleman's all about."
