Doc had intended to go looking for those houses yesterday but he had gone to the museum first to make sure it was still sealed and bumped into Yennefer who was bleeding from an arrow wound, a most strange injury to have sustained from another time and place perhaps, and there had been no time for anything else after that.

Deciding that it would be better to bring the first aid kit with him, both in case something happens to himself or Malcolm or if he has another encounter with someone wounded like Yennefer, he borrows from the other kits to pad this one out before attaching it to his gun belt, along with his torch, knife and flathead screwdriver.

He'd only just come in from outside so he's more or less prepared to go, heading down and sidestepping the pendant light on his way to where he waits by the front door. Arranging the bottles of moonshine on the shelf can wait until after they're back.
