Fugaku was not good at consoling people. He didn't have a good bedside manner. He didn't like hospitals. He was also swamped in the fall out of having a child captured and interrogated. Sasuke hadn't come back maimed, all body parts intact, but physical was only one side of things. Physical was easy to fix, most of the time.
"Visiting hours are over. The patients need their rest," A young medic said uncertainly as she found Fugaku wandering around the floor. The irony was he'd almost found Sasuke's room by that point. She probably expected Fugaku to be belligerent or insistent that he be allowed to visit his child.
Fugaku shifted the bundle he'd been carrying instead. "I am aware of that. Would you mind giving this to Uchiha Sasuke? He's in room 573." She knew who he'd been here to see. The medic looked at the neatly wrapped blanket and pillow and then to Fugaku.
"Would you like to come back tomorrow and give them to tomorrow?" She asked hesitantly. Fugaku decided she must be younger or newer to this than he'd thought.
"That won't be necessary. Just see that he gets them when it won't interrupt his rest," Fugaku instructed. The medic took the soft bundle with a still confused look on her face. Fugaku couldn't think of anything else to say to impress the importance of the request on the girl.
"Good." Fugaku tried to convey in tone that he would certainly know if she hadn't done what he'd asked and that she would certainly be in a great deal of trouble if this thing didn't come to pass. This tone usually worked excellently with young Uchiha and rookie officers, so Fugaku left it at that.
"Have," Fugaku said, feeling there was some irony in the phrase. "A pleasant evening." The girl squeaked something in return. Fugaku gave the closed door one last look before nodding to the girl and turning to go.
