Says to Shirley, in a different tone than he'd had before,]
Don't you get at all bored?

[picks up the forge, walks to the door, goes through it to a windowed hallway, where he turns the forge to the view through the window.
Through it is a view of large room full of beds, most of them occupied.
His voice comes from off-camera.] People continue to come here every day -- whether there are medics available or not. When none are, people come just in order not to be alone. They try to help each other.
When medics are here... there's never nothing to do. It's busiest in times of crisis, of course, with combat injuries, but on any normal day, people hurt themselves with tools, people encounter concentrations of Mist they hadn't anticipated, people simply get sick.
I can heal minor injuries, but for critical cases I'm barely a battlefield medic. I can't instantly cure. The goal is stabilisation.
[looks into the forge again at her] I've seen you heal severe injuries -- complete instant recovery -- the way I can heal a papercut ( ... )

He's wanted very much to know.
But he shouldn't have let it get away with him.]
I apologise, Shirley. As you rightly observed, I'm overtired.
I think you're astonishing; I remain uncertain of most things about you, but guessed you're on a different plane of perspective and concern from myself. I didn't mean to be reductive. Nor should I have projected instead of asking.
The clinic is short staffed. You have a greatly relevant talent. Would you be interested in helping?

[interested, that is. it is a fleeting thought to help, but if she will or won't is not what he asked. so she doesn't say. (how difficult of her.)]
Rest before you do more harm than help.

Annoyed in turn at the apparent impression that he's foisting himself on the Clinic and refusing to leave. When walking in the door, he'd suddenly been confronted with all the jobs no one was there to do, and clutched at by all the people looking for some semblance of an organising hand.
On the other hand, she's entirely right.]
When I can.
