Spike doesn't reply until he's seated again on his worn yellow couch. Once he's comfortable he points to the discarded (and eternally unhelpful) journal. Amazingly enough, he doesn't miss much when he's actively searching for information.

"You didn't have to make the trip. I could have said I was fine over the journal." If that's a hint that he's onto whatever else this suspiciously timed visit is about, it's open for interpretation. Ein nearly ruins it by perking up and running up to the Doctor's feet, to which Spike frowns and looks more directly at him. "Unless you left something behind the last time."
