He pulled the sides of his coat up over his chest, covering the bloodstain on the scrubs underneath, and stuffed his hands down into his pockets.
"Oh don't worry, my eyes are peeled, Doctor, I'm looking all right." With a nod, he fell into step behind the Doctor and followed him along the corridor.
