A smile crossed Jude's lips as he followed at his more casual pace behind Aiden towards the sign out desk. Jude was all for quick-pace when it came to work, but if he was not in the trauma ward, he kept to an almost saunter. Idly, he wondered how long Aiden had worked in the laboratory since he'd never seen him before. However, the probability of doing just that was not a strong one due to Jude's irregular hours and the number of elevators, not to mention whatever schedule the technician had kept. However, Monasia was a familiar face to be sure - especially that almost irate purse to her lips, only thrown off by the amusement she hid in her eyes. A regular expression just for him, he had joked with her once. As he signed himself out, setting the files aside to get a once over by the clerk, he glanced up briefly to smile at her scrutinizing face. "There you are, madam." As he placed the pen back in his pocket, he looked back to Aiden as he spoke, fully ignoring Monasia's muttering. The way of goodbye was definitely a way of making sure Jude did not invite himself along even though they were both headed in the same direction for the next few minutes. He'd taken that opportunity to slip the sweater on, since it may have been a reminder that it was given to him to wear not to carry around. "Naturally, you would." Jude said lightly, almost in a teasing fashion, as he picked up the files. He began to follow behind at his slower stride, subtly keeping his eye on the seemingly kind man to make sure he'd make it to his vehicle.
