These were questions that Bruce was prepared to answer: not 'who are you and why are you here,' but 'how is my hair?' He put down his telephone as proof that he was now paying attention to Bo and sat back in his chair. "Not awful," Bruce answered. "You look like you've been busy."
Which was intelligent man for 'it's fine but falling out of the bun, which you already know.'
"I've been counting. Four people have come in, aside from you and I. I'm not sure if that's because the staff are finding other places to eat, or if it's because you're simply too busy for breaks." Possibly the latter. Bruce had never actually been behind the scenes at a hospital, but he'd visited and the nurses always looked like they were running around from patient to patient.
