Erskine hesitated. The Professor's words made him eternally grateful he'd convinced Anton to seek medical attention, but Anton wasn't going to be happy with that last order. Which was why, of course, Professor Grouse had directed the words at Erskine, and not at him.
Without another thought, Erskine nodded firmly. "He will. You might have to chain him down to the table, though. Bit stubborn."
That only left the question of what was going to happen to the Midnight Hotel for however long Anton would be away. Erskine bit his lip, pondering for a second, and then lightly touched Anton on the shoulder. "I'll tell your guests you're a bit busy at the moment. I'm assuming they can all make other arrangements. You just focus on not hating the rest of us too much."
Because Erskine wasn't going to babysit them, and he couldn't think of many others who would. Or who would even be capable of it. What Erskine wanted to do, as soon as Anton was settled and the Hotel taken care of, was go find Corrival. Go find Corrival and give the old bat a piece of his mind.
