Swamped

The window is still slightly open, so once the doctor leaves you head over to it.

"What's gotten you so worked up?" you ask.

He looks annoyed.

"Muckbeast," is all he says. Must not think it's a good time to talk.

"Where?" you ask. And he shrugs. So he's lost track of it?

"Okay, where was it last?"

He makes a slight swimming motion. So... it was in the water, then it disappeared?

Well, you did find something out. You describe the woman in riding boots you saw. He points to his eyes, then shakes his head. Hasn't seen her.

That's worrying. The beast and its probable rider could be anywhere. And you don't know what they want, but you suspect it's Mortimer. Perhaps you should go check on him.

Before that, though, you think it might be good to ask Sunflower to do a small favor for you.
