His smile softened at the sign of new life burgeoning in his employer's belly, and he drifted closer to continue their conversation as he joined her in looking around. The patients had abandoned the place for the sunshine, along with the nurses. It had been left in a state of disarray that Isla never would have tolerated back when she'd stood on two legs rather than four, but not being able to speak or easily manipulate things probably made it difficult for her to keep things under control.
Sighing, he gave a little shake of his head in agreement at how 'lost' the place felt without its resident medic. "Not just this place," he said softly, offering the pregnant huntress a wan smile. "And I am... well enough. Given what we went through last week." He bent to begin gathering bandages that had been dropped by a careless nurse - or perhaps a patient overeager to be on their way. "I was studying under Isla, before... before Long Night. I was supposed to have been helping her here, but I didn't make it back to the Settlement in time..." he trailed off, giving a little shake of his head as if to shake away the shadows of guilt that clung to him still. "So I feel a little... responsible, I suppose. For helping to clean this place up." He stood, adding the bandages to the pile of things to be washed and looking around with a slightly lost look dimming his blue eyes.
"I suppose... she would have left an inventory in her desk drawer. Though just cleaning up the linens and giving the place a good sweeping will help. Do you have any suggestions on where to start?"
