A smile was Rin's only answer to the bug question but he did go on to reassure her, "Oh there were losses, there always are, but likely no one you were more than peripherally aware of." As if that made their deaths during the rescue more acceptable. Possibly it did.

"My dear, I always have a moment to spare for you. Come to me once you feel able, hm?" The door opened and a tech popped in and gave the doctor a desperate, wide-eyed look that had him stepping toward the exit with a sigh.

"Simply yell if you need anything." Here was something cruel in the word yell, the way it curled and twisted out of his mouth, but then the doctor was gone. The tech who replaced him made noises about transport and recovery rooms, but made no effort to talk to them.
