It makes sense for her to be dazed to a certain degree, but her eyes keep turning towards the stars and he can't work out why. He hasn't paid attention to the sky in forever unless he's ducking mortar fire, and maybe that's something he's been lacking in but he's never really stopped to think about it. Looking at the stars makes him feel insignificant, and that's just about the last thing he needed in Korea.
He felt pointless enough, as part of the ever-churning war machine as it was; adding some kind of existential crisis to the whole thing would have been the end of him.
"I know," he says, glancing at her and giving her a wink. "Doctor, remember?"
He keeps her walking, and after a moment he decides that she deserves to know where she is, at least. If she's going to keep trying to get back to wherever she was - the Avalon - she ought to know that it's not going to happen, even after she gets stitched up. "This place is called Darrow," he starts, and his tone is automatically like he's in post-op, carefully talking a patient through. "I can't explain how you ended up here, I only turned up a few days ago myself."
