"Hmm?" Father Grigori was too busy retrieving a full medkit- the green vial, some bandages, some painkillers- to notice. "Ah, yes. A reasonable man, perhaps. But these have not been reasonable times for many years, brother."
Gordon claps a hand over his face and tries very hard to pretend that none of this is happening.
"You will forgive me for not knowing you at first sight, of course. I had- aheh- other things on my mind." Grigori gestures to Dinah's arm. "Is that your only injury, sister, or is there other hurt that needs tending?"
