Look he might have been the 'leader' of a team, but let's be honest, he's always kind of had a thing about big strong women in charge who take no shit. "Well, I'm not like you, aaaand I'm still not entirely convinced magic is actually real." Yes, despite everything he's seen here so far. "But I am totally clever. Like a fox."
So by the time they get to the bench, he gladly hops up. "Shit yeah, that's the stuff! Then you can stuff a bit of metal in a tube, okay, and fill the back end with powder, and then you have a hammer and flint that gets pulled down when you pull a trigger, and that causes a spark, which does a small version of a cannon!" It's not pew pew laser guns or anything (...thank god for that, really, or everything would probably be on fire), but it's a fucking start.
