From here.

"Steady on, lad," Jack mutters, supporting Wellard as the two of them cross first the shore and then the floating pier to the Black Pearl.

They stop there, as Jack looks up the sea-ladder with a frown.

"Can you climb?"

"Worrying helps you prepare for things," Mary mutters; but it's the kind of dark, nearly incomprehensible mutter that you do when you know that you're talking in a lost cause, and simply would like to make it perfectly clear that you're not convinced, no matter how everyone else feels.

"Are you going to visit the infirmary at least?"

Merriman looks over at Wellard. 'Once you feel well enough to leave the Pearl, Mister Wellard, would you be amenable to doing so? If you speak to Dr Simon Tam, perhaps, he might be able to give you a more expert opinion than mine. There is also Nita Callahan -- as Miss Lennox said, she healed Mister Norrington, and her magic is similar enough to mine to make matters less complicated for you.'

He is well aware of Wellard's uneasiness around doctors...and Jack's current levels of protectiveness. Simon and Nita are relatively unthreatening, if nothing else.

There is an attempt at a nod there, but it is soon given up as Wellard finds he can feel it even through the affects of the willowbark.

"I know Dr Tam, from before." He glances over to Mary. "Yes, I will go and see him when I can make it over to shore without the worry of falling into the lake."

Because drowning and being eaten by Ed would rather make the concussion worse, really.

"I know him as well," Jack volunteers, grinning wickedly. "Good man, even if he doesn't like rum. Criminal mastermind, savvy?"

It may be true, but Merriman does not smile at that...primarily because he remembers a note, in his own handwriting, that had once been tacked to the bar's noticeboard.

Instead, he looks over at Mary, his expression quite serious.

'Is that suitable for the time being, Miss Lennox? I realise that it is a makeshift situation for now, but things will be seen to very soon. I will be making a few enquiries of my own, when we return to the shore.'

Oh yes, he most certainly will.

It's somewhat soothing to have her opinion asked.

Her chin tilts up, proudly, and she nods.

"Dr. Tam is a good doctor," she says - thus giving the official Mary Seal of Approval.
