[She takes his arm out of habit as they walk, a small frown on her face as he speaks. Dolores knows a little about Marshall's life before he was turned, but she's never really pressed him to give her any details. She wouldn't like it if someone did that to her, after all.]

Mm? No, I'm not cold. Don't worry about that.

[She gives his arm a light pat.]

Are you feeling alright?

[Under ordinary circumstances Marshall would be more than happy to share his life story with Dolores. Now however he frowns a little.]

Are you sure? You seem quite cold and I wouldn't wish for you to catch ill.

[He nods. He really doesn't feel sick or anything. Just very out of place.]

Physically I feel quite fine. I just find that being here all of a sudden quite disconcerting.

[wavesofjade]

That is understandable, and I have no reason to think there is anything wrong with you.. but I would like to be sure.

[Maybe she'll be asking him about that life story when everything goes back to normal this time around.]

[marshall_lee]

I understand completely. [They walk in an odd kind of silence for a bit before Marshall asks.]

Ah..so, how long have you been a nurse here? You mentioned having known me for a while.

[She should..it would probably do him some good.]
