A quick glance at the clock on the wall tells him he has a bit more time to spare, and he should probably make sure she makes it to the cafeteria and back again. Maybe it's because of the face she shares, but he's more inclined to tell himself it's his duty of care as a doctor.
"I can't promise the cafeteria is much better," he admits, but he does change direction. "I was heading there myself," he says, and maybe it's half a lie but it doesn't hurt anybody. "I'd ask if you mind the company, but well, doctor's orders."
He gives her a wry smile. If she definitely wants him to leave he will, but not before asking a nurse to keep an eye on her.
