Darn it, he kind of deserved this for sort of teasing Heiji about it before. Have a familiar, flustered look. "There's nothing wrong with being a little romantic! Besides, it's hardly romantic it's just... practical. Yes."

Totally. "Come no, Heiji, I'm sure you'd be willing to do the same if you found someone you truly loved and you couldn't be together for a while. You're... you." That's actually a compliment, Heiji was a loyal, good sort of dude in Hershel's eyes. Could have put it better though.
