[of course it would be too embarrassing to admit he didn't have much even if that were the case, but honestly Eric doesn't have much of a sense for how long he can last in a fight. His mental state was shot to hell the last time he was in a serious one and it's all a huge blur of flashes and blood. But he didn't keel over, and he's managed to swing a hammer around for a good amount of time in another case. More importantly, he's not sure what to make of this backhanded compliment he just got. Is he actually getting along better with this version of McBurn or is he just making fun of him more subtly? Either way, it's weird.]
It's really boring here, huh...
[slight subject change but he assumes this is why 'even he' is currently being gauged for fight value]
