ISLA
This close, Isla doesn't quite know what she sees, but it's certainly enough to worry her, regardless of Nate's reassurances. "Alright," she murmurs, even though it isn't, not by a long shot, and she lets him manoeuvre her towards the door and into the garden. "Sure, that sounds good," she murmurs, though she pauses when he does on the threshold.
Glancing up at her fellow doctor, Isla waits for a moment before she does indeed make the first move, stepping out and into the moonlight, the glitter of the stars against the water far, far below. "Do you want to come and visit the infirmary in the Grounds, for a bit?" she asks suddenly, her voice soft as she glances over her shoulder to him. "Only a day or so - I wouldn't want to take you away from this. But I thought you might like to look things over. I could use your opinion, anyway, about what else to do with the place."
