Jonathan pauses just long enough to learn where the elderly woman lives and the work required when they get there - enough to ensure she has nothing to hold against them as proof that they don't intend to return to her - and then he catches up to Henry.

His brow lifts in a curious expression as he hears the other man speak; the words are very old and he has to wonder where the curious young man is from. Regardless, the couple aren't about to question their luck and with halting words they explain about the roof and the leak and Jonathan doesn't need to hear much more to know that he intends to help and that he hopes Henry will too. He waves off the protests that the couple can offer nothing in return for the services.

"I believe our time is free to do what we wish with it, so long as we eventually keep to our prior arrangement," he answers. "Besides, a leaking roof will cause you worse health problems eventually and as a doctor, I prescribe allowing me to help prevent that from happening."

That said, he glances at Henry. "Shall we?"
