Gerard was unsure whether he should laugh, or let it be. He decided that it was meant as a joke and allowed himself a chuckle. He didn't know too much about his boss, or actually who was in charge of him. He just took it that most people could order him around, so he was careful not to step on any toes, literally and figuratively. "I hope so."

"There are worse places to have a fall." he agreed. Gerard wouldn't want to be anywhere too far away from a hospital, and as he rarely left Hogsmeade, it wasn't very likely. He had actually had some things happen in the Hospital, but he knew, or had picked up on enough healing magic to fix most things. Little things mostly. And he found that there was quite a lot of spills, "Especially in emergencies, but I do believe helping someone live is more important than cleaning up as you go. That is what my job is for." Gerard knew that he wasn't too clear or smart about certain types of magic, healing being one of them, but he wanted his job to at least matter.
