Were they talking about the same clinic? The one where most medical care seemed to be provided by a crab?
Gray said a very bad curse word in a dead language, because if Arden had been at the clinic, she could have had five Nephilim to help heal her! One night only offer! Alone, Gray or Raiden couldn't do much, but in combination with their brothers they probably could have really gotten somewhere. But Gray had told his brothers enough of his concerns about how the town had gotten its boarding house that Alastair wouldn't let him go in there even if Gray himself hadn't been extremely concerned the house would find a deadly sin that slept most of the time too tasty to pass up even now that it was reformed or whatever.
He never got much off Alastair, but something Gray had thought caused some shift in his mind, something like an idea. Something like...hope? But Alastair didn't say anything, so he didn't think it was related to Arden.
Wait. "Do you need rescuing from somewhere?" he asked hopefully. Did he think Arden would call to apologize for not being around to say bye when she needed rescuing? Honestly, kinda.
