House had rolled his eyes in frustration. 'They were on a rescue mission' was basically a non-answer, and he would have said so if he'd had a chance, but he didn't, and Daisya might just not have known anyway

[makerofeden]

The man was lacking some bedside manner, but Froi didn't let his irritation show. Instead, he just smiled and looked at the man, "I have no idea what that is, but we were one a mission to go rescue the people who had been kidnapped, while I told Kanda not to go due to his knee injury, he went anyways." he started off, "Well, the party he was in was attacked, and then in the temple, he started to change back into him than be in the form of Miss Lenalee. Which, as you can gather, he is much larger than and he was in her clothes."

Daisya went closer when House motioned, his eyes riveted on Kanda. He didn't like seeing his best friend that way... it wasn't like Kanda to be injured and helpless. When he heard Tiedoll mention the body switching he blinked. "Oh, hell," he muttered. House's glare made him cringe a bit. "I... 'm sorry, I didn't... think about it. When I brought her to you... it was him, actually."

[causticguy]

House glared at Tiedoll with the sort of expression one might give a man who had, in all seriousness, suggested a bushel of rabid wombats as the new breakthrough in neonatal ICU staffing. (A single wombat, without the rabies, was bad enough.... And what the hell was he thinking, now?--Oh, yeah, about his team and the blissful comfort of a world where the laws of physics actually applied and people spoke English and Hindi and other sensible languages and didn't talk about someone "changing back into" some other person and expect to be taken seriously by anyone who wasn't clinically insane....)

The sound of Daisya's voice was what brought House back to the moment, which also meant that it was Daisya who bore the immediate brunt of his aggravation. House's glare swung around to fix on him. "Yes," he said deliberately, the look on his face saying unmistakably, You're an idiot, "I can see how that minor detail might just have slipped your mind

[makerofeden]

"I think we have more important things to worry about than who was what when." Tiedoll said, voice suddenly dropping. He was worried about Yuu at the moment, and didn't care if the other was a woman a little while ago, or if Kanda had a hobby of running off to the Moulin Rogue and smoking opium and drinking Absinthe with that once nice artist he met there once.

[sh_hereisgone]

Daisya nodded, agreeing with Tiedoll. He felt bad for keeping the story from House, but he was too worried about Kanda to even think straight.

"Please, what's wrong with him?" he asked, with hardly any voice at all. "He's so pale..."

[causticguy]

Oh look, more confirmation for his People Are Idiots theory. It would never cease to amaze House how incredibly dense people could be sometimes. "Because obviously his having recently undergone"-oh, hell, he couldn't believe he was really going to say this-"an extreme physical metamorphosis couldn't possibly have any bearing whatsoever on the reason that he's spewing up blood," House shot back at both of them scathingly, "Yes, I'm sure that those two things are just a coincidence."

But he did continue his examination, checking Kanda's vitals, lifting his eyelids to look into his unconscious eyes, and then feeling his belly, pressing against the muscles to feel for masses or lumps. He even (rather considerately) pulled the hem of the oversized shirt back across Kanda's body when he was done so that he wasn't completely exposed. "Prop his feet up on one of those pillows," he instructed, not really concerned which member of his de facto audience did so. "How long has he been unconscious

[makerofeden]

"AB." Tiedoll said quickly, "What were you expecting? Blood like he went on a bing of it or we come from one of those God awful comics children seem to like?" snapping a bit back, not liking the tone House was taking with his student, as he propped Kanda's feet up.

"It was just a change, a slow one where I had enough time to remove the clothes before any more damage could be done. I do not know what triggered it, unfortunately."

[causticguy]

AB. Well thank goodness for small favors. House motioned Tiedoll around the couch. "Sit down and roll up your sleeve," he said simply, pulling another instrument from his bag--a long tube with needles on each end and a pump like a plunger in the middle. He would much have preferred to have both men lying down for this, but Tiedoll sitting on the floor by Kanda's side would have to do.

He tied off Kanda's arm first, feeling for a vein, still talking while he worked. "Slow gradual change," he challenged Tiedoll, "but not slow enough for him to take his own clothes off. He shot him a scathing glance, "Or is undressing young men just a kink of yours." That last dig had probably been unnecessary, but House was growing more and more irritated by the moment with the lack of answers. He felt like Bullwinkle Moose: 'Watch me pull a diagnosis out of my hat.' "When did he lose consciousness."

And more to the point, why were they making him repeat himself? Did they really think that this was just small talk? House didn't have an endoscope, he

[makerofeden]

"I do not know when he lost consciousness, I wasn't there when it happened." Tiedoll said, cooly responding. "He was a she, and I would have rather not jerked around an unconscious body with unknown injuries, who was changing quick enough for the clothes to be ripping, unless that is the preferred medical technique of your world."

Daisya went off to get the requested items.

[sh_hereisgone]

Daisya ran off to get the items, worried. He didn't like the way House and Tiedoll were sniping at each other at all... and it surprised him a great deal that Tiedoll was acting that way. Kanda must have been in far worse shape than Daisya had originally thought. He returned quickly with the basin and bucket of water, setting them down next to House, and then he took a step back, once again staring at Kanda.

"... he'll... he'll be fine, yeah...?"

[causticguy]

Somewhere in this world-in this jumble of absurdity and nonsense that passed for a universe-there was someone who could speak enough of the English language to actually tell House what the hell had happened in the lead up to Not-So-Much-A-Lady Godiva's bloody vomit episode to actually be of some diagnostic use

[makerofeden]

"If I knew that, I could answer,it. I have told you everything I know since finding him." he said. Giving the Doctor a nod, "Because when I found him, I was more concerned about other things than what caused the damage." he sighed, he hated not knowing what do to.

[sh_hereisgone]

Daiysa looked vaguely green at what House described, but he nodded and steeled his nerves. He'd seen much worse in battle and even before, though never did he think he would see Kanda in this state.

"I'm ready," he said quietly. "Just tell me when I should get more water."

It was remarkably easy to get hold of himself then... it was like pulling his hood over his face. A calm settled over him that stilled the trembling in his hands and slowed his heart, and he nodded firmly, meeting House's gaze.

"I'm ready."

[causticguy]

House watched the calm settle over Daisya's features with an unspoken understanding: this was the sort of thing that he must have had to become good at--shutting off his worry, his feelings. It was the sort of thing that, to get good at, you had to have a lot of practice with
