Diarmuid nods at her answer. He doesn't seem upset at all by it, "I don't want you to get sick because of my mistake. Thank you for helping! When you go out, will you tell my brother it is okay to come back in? He can watch the puppies while I clean everything up."

It will take a while alone, but it will probably take longer if Diarmuid has to to watch out for a pair of energetic puppies as well.
