His smile softens as well, and he nods gently in response to her remarks. "Everything does have a price - that's what I'm learning," he says, letting her take his hand to place it over the cotton ball.

(He doesn't, of course, but the thinking is plain on his face).
"Out of a job? Hardly." He grins to her, brightening again suddenly. "Whatever I can do is for emergencies here, as far as I'm concerned. I have a big respect for what you do. That, and between you and me, I'm pretty accident prone for a dEmIgOd."
