KNOW CLARA?

You may then know, more or less, the incident of her granddaughter getting kidnapped by the vampires. It distressed her but she's fine. Honest to goodness she's fine.

It's normal for her to worry for people she cares for. It's pretty normal for her to think of all the worst case scenarios some of them could find themselves in due to their personalities/their histories/their everything.

It's very normal for her to suddenly check on them one day out of the blue, just appearing next to them without a warning or a heads up.

"Are you okay?"

She's totally calmed down about the incident last month. Really.

DON'T KNOW CLARA?

What do you mean by that?

Now you do as she suddenly phases through the wall and looks directly at you during her search for everyone she knows.

It doesn't matter where you are or what you're doing. It doesn't matter if there are people there or you're supposed to be by yourself. Suddenly you have a woman staring at you in confusion for a second before it registers in her head that no. You're not someone she knows through passing.

"Um. Oops."

"The student is fine. It was his mother who went to the clinic." As for whether or not everything's okay... That all depends on things he can't be sure of yet. How long vampire blood stays in the human system. What happens if it does work its way out. What happens if it doesn't. None of those will let a doctor even slightly worth his stuff make promises.

"Oh. The poor dear." She can't help but feel sympathy for the student and his mother then, knowing how stressful it can be to worry about someone's health when so young. Having experienced that herself thanks to her poor health getting the best of her during her lifetime.

"Would it be alright if I checked in on him and his parent now and then, Dr. Morgan?" Much as she wants to visit, she doesn't want to be presumptuous and just go there without clearing it first."I hope I can. I guess since I'm sending the message it's all over and visiting them won't affect anything anymore."

Right?

"Please do."

A pause. Because, ah, yes. There is something else to be said. Something he's only recently decided.

"You're also more than welcome to come to that clinic and check up on things. I won't always have hours myself, but I'd love to know it was running smoothly in my absence."

He's not smug about having everything set up to take over the practice once the good doctor is out of the way.

"The clinic?" It takes her a second to realise what he means by that.

Oh! Right. Where that doctor, for the lack of a better word to describe the conman, worked his scams until now. The clinic would still be running even after what's happened. Would it be only for a little while or indefinitely? It's hard to say and she doesn't want to make a fuss.

She would like to check in on the clinic and see how the others who work there or go there are. At the end of the day, they were all innocents in this. "I would be happy to, Dr. Morgan. Everyone needs a little bit help these days so I'll do my best."

"Thank you. Everything should run smoothly once he's no longer in control of the clinic."

Should. But there was no promise that everything would work perfectly. Still, she wanted to help, and it might be useful to have someone checking in while he wasn't there.

It wouldn't hurt, definitely, and shouldn't interfere with anything else she was doing.

"Okay. I'll check on the patients, the staff… Is there anyone in particular I should keep an eye on in regards to his employees?" She can't help but look a little suspicious when she speaks of them.

It's hard for her to believe they're innocents in this but her snooping there, quick and fleeting as it may have been, seems to point to it. "I'm so sorry if I seem so full of questions today, Dr. Morgan! It's just been a doozy of a few months is all. never hurts to be careful?"

Knowledge is power as the saying goes. Or that's what Tonyo told her in the past.

"No. I think, in general, the staff's fine. I just wouldn't mind someone keeping an eye on them for a bit when I'm not there," Henry offers with a smile. At her concern, he waves his hand dismissively.

"You're right to be careful. Things haven't been... the safest... lately. And, well. Who knows what's coming."

"It has been quite a few months! Vampires and troubles and all sort of things happening lately." Too fast for her liking as well but she keeps those thoughts to herself, not wanting to cause trouble or sound like she finds it all too hard. She's sure there are others out there are having just as, if not more, difficult of a time.

"I'll keep an eye on them in the clinic. Now, in fact! I feel like I'm keeping you from your packing with all my chattering." At the rate she's going, she might have him stuck here by the evening! That won't do for him at all. "I'll let you know what I find soon as possible if there's anything to find. I promise."
