At least he can do that much. And this - carrying her, getting her home safely, talking her down from the literal ledge. The clinic is as familiar to him already as his old rundown safehouse from his previous world.

Immediately winking as he grins at her, content to pile together with Pim on whatever comfortable surface is closest.
