Leo pressed the diaphragm of the stethoscope flat against the heavy wood of the repurposed room Vincent used for an office, holding his breath as he strained to catch any movement from inside Vincent's apartment. He was only there for a few seconds when the door opened, and Leo froze, stethoscope still in hand. With an awkward smile, Leo lowered his eyes, examining the carpet at the foot of the door, looking down both ends of the hallway before he tapped his knuckles against the door.
"Yep, solid wood. That's some mighty good craftsmanship there..." Leo trailed off, nodding to himself before finally glancing back up. He waved his hand at Vincent. "Howdy! Got an appointment with you. For an examination? To make sure you're healthy? We do this once a month to make sure your body's still ticking and your ticker's still working, and I thought you might want to take this opportunity to show us how you're doing with yours. Yes? Maybe? You haven't been to the infirmary, the other nurses are scared you'll shoot them for bothering, we kind of drew straws and well..." Leo forced another awkward smile before shoving his stethoscope back into his coat. "I'm here to make sure you feel good. Wait, that didn't come out right."
He waved his hand in front of his face, hoping to wave away his awkwardness, but he tried to remain as optimistic as he could. He just needed to get inside. "Anyway, can I come in, sir?"
