[They were going to say yes, or they wouldn't have responded! Probably. Though maybe the inclination to let Hilbert hunt them down was a stalling tactic borne of the assumption that Hilbert would need the medical equipment to perform his scan - it's hard to tell. Certainly it wasn't an explicit invitation to get things over with as soon as possible.
But since it's apparently fucking happening anyway -
Their expression goes flat and unimpressed as they stop where they are, work halted despite Hilbert's invitation to continue going. It's not a protest as such, but it's not exactly approval of Hilbert's efficiency, either.]
Fine.
[Before they can move on, though... the scan catches something. Some strange inflammation in their brain, something that Hilbert's experience can tell him is odd, compared to the usual migraine patterns - particularly centered as it seems to be around an odd little mod, all tangled up among the nerves at the base of their skull.]
cw for some medical/neurological descs (for my future ref)
