[ineedavicodin]

He's in the bar nursing a chocolate milkshake and onion rings, a sudoku puzzle on the table in front of him, a dog on the floor at his feet. The dog occassionally rolls over, and snorfles in sleep. He rubs her belly with his foot when she does. And occassionally grumbles at his puzzle, or bites his pencil. The milkshake is half melted, the onion

He wouldn't be House if he wasn't irritable. Of course, Eddie has no clue who this guy might be. But people watching is a cure for boredom, so he's currently watching him, and occasionally the dog, from a nearby table.

Big guy, blond crew cut, lot of muscle. Probably a little creepy. But Eddie's used to being creepy. Sometimes, being intimidating comes in handy.

Such is not always the case with meeting new people, however, which may be why he doesn't approach the man, just watches him lazily.

[ooc: ...mun wants to know what a snorfle is. For it made him laugh.]

[ineedavicodin]

House has a way of just knowing when people are watching him. He looks up a couple times, and sees the man, suspects it's him just because. And after a while, finally says saomething.

"If you want to gawk, it's far more polite tto do it to my face."

[OOC: Heh. It's the huffling thing a dog does, when they're sleeping. Unless my dog does it because she's over weight *g* But it's kind of like a sigh]

[symbiote_venom]

He smiles, just a bit. Rude. Good. There's way too many cheery people around for Eddie's liking.

"Then do me a favor, and turn my way. I don't see no reason to move just so I can gawk politely."

[Oh! That noise. Yes, my dog makes it as well. But...my dog's a bit odd, so maybe shouldn't be used to judge if that sort of thing is normal.]

"What are you going to do to make it worth my effort?"

[ineedavicodin]

"Hey." House nods at the rings. "Eat them if you want. An order is too much for one person."

[ineedavicodin]

House shrugs and pushjed the Suduku book aside. "I'm okay." He tilts his head to get a look at Behrooz's eyes to see if they're still yellow. "Can't really complain, I guess. My friend showed up. Immediately followed by my ex. That's a little awkward, but I guess that's the nature of this place. Once you start getting comfortable, they throw a curve ball at you."

He smiled a little. "How are you?"

I need more cigarettes. I see him of coarse, the stench from the onion rings. Chocolate milkshake and onion rings, interesting combination. My eyebrow maybe a little bit raised, but who am I to raise an eyebrow.

[ineedavicodin]

He looked up and offered a slight, friendly smile. But nothing more.

[beyond_therest]

"Interesting."

[ineedavicodin]

"What? My choice in nourishment?" House gestures at the onion rings and milkshake. "Staple of my diet."

There's something about him that feels like she's seen him before.

And she has, in a photograph, but at this point, Kate has no idea.

"Beautiful dog. Looks just like a friend of mine," she says sociably.

[ineedavicodin]

"Thanks. Name's Triumph." And on cue, Triumph rolls over and opens one eye, her nose twitching to sniff at the newcomer.

[shesaidthanks]

Kate smiles, and makes a fist with her left hand, holding it out toward Triumph's snout.

"You look a lot like Judge, you know," she says. (Even dogs have a family resemblence!)

[ineedavicodin]

Jusge. He knew that kname. It took a moment to spark recognition in him. He nodded. "You know Campbell? Judge is her father."
