[Jesse stares for a moment. She doesn't look injured, or even sick. She looks like she should be running around doing whatever it is that kids do now, not stuck here with strange men crawling out of windows.
He notices her look rather quickly. It's a look he gets before from strangers when they stand a little too close to him and smell the tobacco on his clothes or breath. Normally he's more less inclined to really hide, or really do anything about it, but he is in a hospital...and she is a small child. It can't be good for her health to be near it. He takes the cigar from his mouth and quickly presses it against his metal bicep. It makes a strange hiss before the embers dim and fade. He places it behind his ear for later.]
Well, I'm fine now. Thank you, darlin'.
[He stands up, and carefully makes sure his backside is covered with his other hand around him to hold his gown shut.]

What are you doing here alone?
