His skills?
Now this was just a matter of ruling out what was and wasn't appealing to him. Rannoch and Liffey hadn't exactly given him a specific purpose or tasks; he did what was needed. He roves over the various things he knew he was capable of in his mind, and even as he does, none jumped out to him saying, pursue me as a career! All he knew was that he certainly was no Eshe; no gardener. So what was he, away from his family?
He swallows.
Which was just code for I've lived in the metaphorical basement of my parents' home for too long, and now I don't really know what I'm doing.

I never really, um, had the space or time to hone in on one particular... thing.

I've been doing a lot of exploring,he adds, then,
if that's considered a skill?
