"I get that a lot..." Not that he was trying to belittle the comment or anything but he really did get that so very often, "But it's definitely good that you like it." Flirting was very unprofessional of him but honestly? Most likely someone else would be treating this guy and so it wasn't a conflict of interests or anything.
He arched an eyebrow at the hand motion and part of him wondered what that was about but Hell, it didn't matter as long as he wasn't a cursed were or a new vampire and that didn't seem like the case so far. "You say that like the coffins think for themselves or some such."
For a second Ian didn't remember what Dale was talking about and then said, "Oh! The cat. Hid under shrub where I couldn't reach it and as I was in quite a lot of pain, I didn't bother it much more. Never saw it again." Not to mention he might've been a dog at the time...
