[Depressed or not, she's still a life, and life has to be nurtured. That means there's an additional duty. A duty who also serves a distraction because Frederick Chilton is one of his people. He'll need more to do with this revelation, invasion or no. That Raina is someone Chilton cares for is a bonus, not a requirement. He's not going above and beyond in his mind because it's as selfish as it is selfless.]

You don't have to just look at it while you're here. [The lopsided attempt at a smile seems half-apology for the toy on the stairs. She didn't give them any head's up to clean, she gets to see the lived-in mess in its full glory. How lucky Raina is.] You're as welcome out there as you are in here. Can't think of anyone else I'd prefer in the garden, actually.

[Maybe she'll weed for him just to keep her mind occupied??? What a great bonus.]
