"Uh, hi," he says slowly, unaware he's repeating himself. "Have... have we met before, somewhere?"
He'd been far too wrapped up in finding Remi at the Apopo at the time to really pay much attention, but he is certain that the woman standing before him once rode with him on the back of his nimbus to the volcano. Then again, perhaps he's just too tired and too rattled to tell the difference between stranger and acquaintance.
Entering the examination room, he eyes the bed, the chair and the gown, and gives a gentle shrug of his shoulder to prompt Sugar to take leave of him. She lands somewhere in the sink, lapping at the water dripping from the tap with a forked tongue.
