Archebold grinned at Isla 's startled reaction as he leaned against his walking stick. "The apology is mine to give...force of habit I suppose." Archebold glanced around before turning his attention to the young woman chuckling at her courtesy.
"Such formality...but you're correct, an infirmary is the last of my concerns...so I'm afraid there really is nothing you can do for me...I am here actually...to ask if there is anything I can offer you."
Archebold stepped fully into the infirmary, walking stick tapping around as he gave himself a makeshift tour. "I'm afraid my reputation was not favorable back in Northhaven..." his long, thin finger slid along gathering some leftover dust, to which he pinched and wiggled his finger clean.
"As you can imagine, I'm eager to prove new beginnings can work for anyone. While I lack a healer's touch, I am well versed in surgical methods...I'm an avid study." He quipped with a smirk when he turned to Isla. "Are you aware in some cases leeches are often used in medical practice? Should the need arise, perhaps I too can serve a similar purpose...if needed of course."
Leaning back, both hands resting on the knob of his stick as he cleared his throat. "A new world of disease and dangers is a lot for one person to undertake...in short...I would like to assist in the infirmary." He had spent his years taking life...hell it was a habit he still hasn't broken even as we speak...but this young lass seemed innocent enough, ignorant to his ways...and ignorance was bliss.
