The fact about the bandage is disheartening, but he doesn't argue; his knowledge of burns was very rudimentary: flush with cold water, let someone else handle it.

Albert's lack of response to Jet's question did not go unnoticed. So Albert didn't know either, that was fair. Jet doubted he'd know if their positions were switched; true, he'd rant and fight the inevitable, but it would be inevitable. Still, for now, Albert wants to play hopeful and for all the lack of hope Jet feels, he's willing to cling to it himself.

"I scared him off with the paintball pistol, it might work on others the same way; you won't have to worry about me while you make runs." Because he wouldn't be able to go without being a burden, so he'd need to try and not be a burden even while he was just sitting there.

"Maybe I can make short runs or something, just somewhere nearby." He was reaching, it was very unlikely he'd be able to or even that Albert would give him the chance to, but the small thought that maybe he could made him have to suggest it. At least, then, he wouldn't be useless.
