She was thinking about Dubai and that catastrophe. It was certainly coincidental and he had promised her he would never go getting himself could (who would? He failed to know). These things did happen, however irritating, and in the future he would consider listening when she reminded him to consider sleep along with changing the clothes he had been wearing for three days.
Just consider. No promises.
"Correct," he replied having already fallen comfortably into the habit. Like hell she was going to get him to see any kind of doctor now, let alone back then. He didn't comment further, listening to her story and raising his brows to ensure her he was responsive and attentive. Not all the words sunk in, just enough to imagine a child version of his secretary laughing and playing and he wondered what excellent breeding had given him the assistant he had today. Singing was unorthodox...but it might work. Nobody had ever sang for him...danced, maybe, but the suggestion leaked into the realm of sweet
"Mhm," he had not sounded entirely interested as he had been hoping for more, but it would do. The laziness of his voice could easily be mistaken for a hint of deliriousness which was quite present as well.
