[ Garrot's used to being at least two parents at any given moment to his children, so it's a huge hit to his pride whenever he doesn't know how to do something. His knowledge of makeup is limited to covering black eyes, so... he at least knows when he's out of his element.
It's when Olivia goes silent, when her eyes widen and her hand tenses into a fist that Garrot realizes he might be really out of his element. He's scared he stepped on a nerve, and he's about to apologize when she says to... donate the money to charity? And then- ]

Garrot sighs, trying to keep himself from getting nervous or overeacting because he's pretty sure he just reminded her of their potential deaths. ] As long as you're careful, you'll be fine. And if you get hurt, I'll do everything I can.
[ And then he cautiously reaches out a hand towards her shoulder, slowly enough that she can stop him with as little as a gesture. The doctor would much rather be giving an aggressive hug, but... you make do with what you got. ]
