"Are you alright? You look unwell," Zero commented while they started to walk towards the ruins."
Jermine shook her head and smiled. "It's alright, sir. Just maybe indigestion from eating too quickly."

If he was a kind and unknowledgeable adventurer, he could have sent her back to trade places with Bob. Things weren't going her way and Jermine moved to plan B. If she couldn't get out of this, she would stick very close to Truen and Zero just in case something happened. They were both very strong and also her best bet of surviving this ordeal.
