The sheet was just for if either of them needed privacy. And admittedly also for him; he's over twice Izzy's age, and while he's completely and totally numb to Nat walking around in various states of dress, he's admittedly uncomfortable about seeing other women naked. Not that he's never not been attracted to other women even while married, but he's old enough to be Izzy's father and that's just... no. That's not a pit of snakes he wants to step in at all. It's much the same reaction he'd have to Wanda being around, or any of the girls he'd roomed with on the RED level. Sheet'd been up there, too.
"I'm honestly not sure why they asked me to do it in the first place," he answers, unlacing his boots and dropping them to the floor next to his bed. "I'm not in medical and I've never really talked like that before. Just 'cause I suggested it doesn't mean I'm the best fit to tell other people about what to do, especially since I don't know what all their stuff does." The only reason he could think of that the Computer wanted him to do it - okay, aside from being insane - is that it saw how he reacted during the bombing. Stark and Ramon would've died if he hadn't come along when he did, and he'd gotten Nat calmed down enough to help stabilize them until Steve and... and... another member of VSF had shown up to help carry them out. Panicking does no one any favors and he does know enough about trauma care to be effective in an emergency, but that still begs the question as to why not have one of the actual medical staff be the primary lecturer. He's not watching his expressions as closely as he normally does, so his confusion is present on his face if not fully in the open. "They might repeat this one. Any other topic, they're gonna have to get someone else if they want anything to make sense."
