[With a little frown, but not all that concerned, he'll move toward the fountain fixture - but when he leans down and reaches to put his hand on the edge, he nearly FALLS since his hand just goes right through.]
Thank you... [STEADIED. He glances back at the fountain edge, frowning just a bit.] That would make sense, I suppose. They really do think of everything here, don't they?
...or at least they try to. [she tilts her head to one side, curious, watching the look on his face for a moment before her gaze drifts to the fountain.] Would you tell me about this place?
[A light little hum. They sure do try to... But he'll turn his attention back to her, nodding.]
Of course. It's the hospital I and my younger sister stayed at... so I suppose it is a bit of a comfort to me, since it reminds me of her. The courtyard itself is very lovely too, isn't it?
It is. It seems like a very relaxing place to spend one's time. [especially if the courtyard was solid and not made of clouds.] What brought you and your sister to the hospital?
She was here to receive care. [He doesn't say it sadly, though, because he's just happy to talk about his best baby sister in the world.] She enjoys coming out here when she can to watch the birds... And the cats! We do have quite a few silly little strays that are all but adopted by the staff and patients.
[oh... a sick sister. she nods, her expression sympathetic despite him not sounding sad, and thinks about how lively the courtyard would feel with birds and cats in it.
...and then blinks because, wow, some clouds are forming into birds and cats.]

she reaches over to steady him when his hand passes through the edge of it.]
...it is made of clouds. Is this perhaps somewhere meant to soothe us when we are feeling homesick?
