He was still buttoning up his freshly donned shirt, though all he had done was to put it on on top of his cotton shirt.<br/>Sinead in turn looked surprised to even be involved, and, startled, just barely formed an, "It's no problem at all, she can stay for as long as you need."<br/>It only took a fraction of a second for her to fully process her own words.
