You would, but, it's harder to identify people just by their footsteps.

( it's an awkward rub, to point out the fact he's... well, blind, when he wants to convince the guy that he'd be useful to drag along on patrols. most people would probably pick Matt as their last viable option as far as backup, because it's hard to rely on someone that can't see threats incoming. which is entirely fair, but it's also not particularly accurate. hopefully the fact he could narrow him down by footsteps alone might indicate he's not quite useless, even if he's blind. )

I was hoping to help out, with the patrols. I've been here too long, and I haven't done enough. I want to change that, and I know I'd be more productive with a partner.
