[Fine, fine. He'll sit down again, even if he's certain that the rain wouldn't be much of a bother. Oh well.]
Oh, is that what I'm supposed to do? [That's... clearly a joke by his tone, at least.]
I certainly can't claim to be as good at this than, say, Jonathan would be. But I suppose one doesn't learn unless they try, hm? [He's ridiculous, it's absolutely fine.]
Since we won't speak about the sort of things that were said in my neck of the woods.
A good heart, but sometimes that man does not think about his own health. [Truly, he learned that much about him VERY early on.]
Mmm. I do believe they certainly would be. There's quite a difference in... vernacular, I believe the word is, between those in what was your station and then those of us in the gutters. [Really, he's being frank about it at least.]
It's almost sad that I cannot use such words anymore. A pity. [... Is that a joke? Jury's out.]
Luckily he has a good heart and an attractive physique. [He's joking, of course, there's more than just that to Jonathan. But sometimes it feels like there isn't when he does something absolutely ridiculous.
Golden retriever is absolutely the correct thing to compare him to.]
I suppose I will have to work myself up to being allowed to say as such. [He's absolutely messing with her now, merely humming to himself in amusement before taking another sip of the tea.]
But I shouldn't tarnish a dignified woman such as you, no?
It isn't tarnishing, it's education, isn't it? Besides, I'm certain I've heard worse in the hospital. Injured people are often bemoaning in one shade of blue or another. You will have to elucidate me.
[He freezes when he hears that emphasis on the word, running over how the hell she'd know about that until...
Of course he did.]
It's been a long time since then, who knows if I still have it in me. [He'll just play it off as if it hasn't been only a couple of months at most. Even if he's hiding a grin behind that tea cup.]
Do you know how dangerous it makes you when one considers how much you must know of anatomy and how the human body works? It's almost unfair if I didn't know that there's certain things you absolutely wouldn't be aware of in a clinical setting.

[Erina giggled and reached for one of the biscuits she'd made.]
I can hardly believe it's been a year since I've arrived.

I can imagine they were far bluer in nature than what I am accustomed to.

[Joke's on both of them for falling in love with the human version of a golden retriever.]
Well, depending on where all of this ends up, perhaps you will find them again.
Perhaps. [Is she... is she messing with him? Maybe.]

[That was mostly true, save the fact she could and would give an unsuspecting person a tongue lashing for being rude.]
Now, what wouldn't I be aware of?
