Cassius watches him go until he is out of view (but not gone, not with that connection Doctor Hugh tucks away into his breast pocket). Lets his gaze linger on the exit for a little while longer before turning and taking a seat upon the bed.
Later, much later, when his observers have thinned and their eyes have grown tired, he will begin to thread his worms deep into the mattress. Will begin to carve out a place for him to grow and multiply away from fearful, rabbity gazes as he looks over covers and traces delicate fingers along letters and words he cannot read.
(Perhaps, he thinks, Doctor Hugh would be willing to read them to him. He has a nice voice, his Doctor Hugh.)
Until then, however, he will sit and he will wait.

And wait.
And wait.
(he is so very good at waiting.)
