Swamped

"I'm cleaning up some stuff that belongs to patients. And that means I've got to get it back to them." He sighs. "Thing is, a bunch of this stuff was brought here before we arrived, so we've only got the notes from the clerk on personal effects to go by. And it's a new clerk, so I'm not used to his handwriting."

"And let me guess," you mutter, dragging the armor to the shower. "He's gone home for the night."

"Exactly. But maybe you'll have better luck deciphering it than I will. If not, then I guess you can go around asking patients if they're missing anything."

That might not be the best use of your time, but at this point you aren't sure what is. You start running the water.

"I guess I can give it a shot," you say noncommitally. If nothing else, you can ask the wizard - maybe some of it is his. "Did you lock the emergency door, by the way?"

"Yeah," the nurse grumbles. "Don't like closing off that exit, but after the close call I had there, I guess there isn't much choice."

"What do you mean, close call?" you ask.

"Someone pulled the door open just as I was approaching to lock it. If not for the man standing watch, something bad might have happened." He looks down dejectedly. "He just jumped past me right through the door, and told me to get it locked, with him on the outside. I complied, but... well, I'm wondering if that was the right call."

"Probably. He seemed to me like the sort who could take care of himself."

Although, you're starting to think it would be good to make sure of that.

"Well, we can worry about that later. I've still got a bit of cleaning to do, and I imagine that armor's going to take you a while."

It is, but you think it'll be worth the trouble. What you're not sure about right now is your next move. Do you go along with the nurse's idea and help with identifying the lost property's owners? Do you have a little talk with the wizard? Or do you try to figure out what's going on outside? Hells, maybe you should be doing something else entirely.

Well, you've got at least a few minutes to think about it while you're scrubbing your armor.
