Granted, Harvey wasn't quite used to someone asking after him in that way, and so it was mild surprise that caused him to look to his side at the questioner against his better judgment. The man he saw was unexpected for a few reasons: one, the fact that he was far above the normal age range here (Harvey already was, and this stranger probably had about twenty years on him), and two, that he had a seriously impressive tan going on.
Normally he would have been annoyed at someone calling him "sonny" (it screamed condescension), but for the moment he was just too flabbergasted to think much of it. He realized that he looked even worse for the wear considering the burn wound on his side (he was sure it complimented the one on his face so well), but nonetheless, that didn't mean people needed to fret over him.
"Yeah, you could say that," he said with a sigh as he angled his body under the spray of the shower so that he could rinse without soaking the bandages around his side. "But you wouldn't believe me if I told you. One of the brainwashed patients kind of went overboard." She hadn't even given them a fighting chance, which just seemed even more insulting than some run-of-the-mill monster. At least they were straight-forward and didn't randomly change around body parts like that.
