In a moment House had taken in every detail of Daisya's appearance that the dim light of the cave would allow, but it was the haunted-empty look in his eyes that struck him most. Sort of distant and vague: going through the motions. It was the sort of thing that House, especially given his own recent inertia, had less than no patience for.

"I'm in the market for a beach house," House said, trademark sarcasm making it clear that he was having none of the Just pretend it's all fine song and dance. "You know, some good ocean front property. Figured I'd search for it on foot. Why don't we talk about the weather next?"

But as abrasive as that sounded, it did occur to him that badgering Daisya might not be the most productive tactic at the moment, and he hadn't limped all the way out here for the sake of alienating someone. If that's what he'd wanted he could have done it from the comfort of his home. So with a nod towards the spot from which Daisya had just stood and a surprisingly gentle "Sit down," House carefully lowered himself down to sit on the cave floor, stretching his right leg out and rubbing his thigh. "You've been out here a long time," he prompted simply because yeah, the extended "vacation" (of some sort)--that was obvious.
