WHO: Daisya Barry (sh_hereisgone) and Greg House (causticguy) WHAT: Daisya has questions, House has answers. Hopefully. WHERE: House's place WHEN: After this conversation with Kanda - towards nighttime.
There were a hell of a lot of questions that House currently wanted answered. He had, as it happened, gotten answers to some of them. He had not, however, gotten answers to others. Like the question, for example, of why people kept showing up and knocking on his damn door like he was running some sort of an all-hours clinic. There was a clinic for that sort of thing, and anyway, after two months in this nuthouse his standards for what was interesting enough to bother looking at had shifted considerably.
So had his standards for who it was actually worth the time it took to have a conversation with.
But the truth of the matter was-and really, he hadn't even realized it until he peeked through the window to see Daisya standing outside of his door-that after everything that had happened, he'd somehow resigned himself to the idea that this was a conversation he wasn't ever going to have. It wasn't a conversation he even knew how he felt about having now.
He sighed, settled all his defenses firmly in place, and opened the door.
"Sorry," he said, "Already filled our quota of catboys having convulsions in the front hallway. Why don't you try two doors down, I hear there's an infestation of mice needs clearing up."
