Bruce follows Guppy into the infirmary. He's not surprised to see Javert in exactly the same the same place he left him. He lies on his back, face turned away from the door. His eyes are open, but he doesn't show any interest in his surroundings. An empty water jug says he's been drinking water, but a plate of food lies untouched on the table within reach. The remains of his uniform sit on the chair next to the bed.

Bruce shoots a look at Guppy - see? - then he takes a seat across the room. He'll listen, but everything screams at him to leave this well alone.

Guppy moves over and very gently takes Work Experience off Javert.

"Don't worry, he's squeaky clean. Do you know how to operate the shower?"

Work Experience scurries up Guppy's shoulder, sits there, and makes vaguely rude paw gestures at Javert.

The rat is uncouth. And unnaturally gifted. He glares at it, then at Guppy some more.

'No.'

The sound of running water suggests that experimentation has yielded results in the bath. There had even been a moment of appreciation for the efficiency of this method of tub-filling, though there is no sign of it now.

'Go away.'

He shuts the door.

"Okay. Sorry!"

Guppy takes the three waitrats, and starts writing a note for Charles.

"Bruce? Don't take that as a successful example for teaching."
