House was, in a sense, in the business of making people mad. In fact there were probably more than a few of his former patients who suspected that he only practiced medicine because it offered a really primo route for saying things to people that were sure to piss them off and managing to get away without being punched in the face for doing it. (They would have been wrong: medicine was only a convenient backdrop for the entertaining pastime of pissing people off, and in most cases it was the cane that kept him from getting punched in the face since there weren't a lot of people in the world who wanted to think of themselves as the type to beat up on cripples.)

The fact of the matter was, though, that House had been trying to find a way to piss Daisya off practically since the day they met. Not that House wanted Daisya to be angry at him per se, but just that he wanted to see him angry because it wasn't natural for anyone to be that unwaveringly serene and unshakably halcyon.

He couldn't have explained it, but now finally, seeing Daisya get vexed enough to actually swear, seeing the change in his posture, the look on his face and his clenched fists-there was a sort of relief to it all. Like a proof that the young man was actually there.

"He told me that you were overly sensitive and emotional and not thinking clearly and that that was why you were hurt, and then he 'gave me his apologies for your reaction'," House paraphrased, a little surprised by just how clearly Kanda's words had stuck in his mind. But he wasn't saying this for the sake of instigating anymore; now it was more like…banishing a ghost he'd taken to carrying around inside of him.
