It seemed to House he'd been working a lot lately. Kinda disturbing, how much time he'd spent on cases or figuring out the damn portal. That was fast becoming its official name in House's head--"damnportal". Had to be unique. How many other hospitals could say they had a damnportal?

Okay, how many could say they had any portal?

Didn't matter. Right

"Morning, House," Foreman said as he put two cups of coffee down on the conference table and hung up his jacket before pulling on his labcoat.

"Brought you a coffee," he said, handing him the cup.

House took the cup, but looked at it askance, then at Foreman, clearly communicating, 'What'd you do and why are you sucking up for it?'

[the_neurologist]

"I'm just being nice, House. Don't worry, I haven't put hemlock in it."

Foreman sat down, legs crossed and elbow on House's desk.

"And if I wanted anything, I'd offer better than coffee."

[limping_twerpmd]

House just raised an eyebrow as he sipped the coffee. Better than what they had in the conference room. And look at that--Foreman was telling the truth about offering better than the coffee.

Foreman really had picked a bad week to take House out to dinner.

"Speaking of better, what are the plans for dinner? Beyond tomorrow."

Of course, it had to be that Cameron found House all holed up and playing his stupid video game.

"Hey," she greeted, coming into his office, "got a minute?" Well, several, but she'd start with the singular.

[limping_twerpmd]

"That depends on if you mean an actual minute or as long as you want to talk." He didn't bother looking up from his game.

[dr_optimism]

She rolled her eyes. "What about as long as it takes you to tell me what's going on around here?" she asked.

[limping_twerpmd]

"It's a hospital. What's going on around here is sick people." Teach her to be non-specific.

Chase wandered into the room with a settled smile on his face. "Hawkeye's papers are officially signed over to the psychiatrist, the minute you sign, he's no longer technically our patient," he announced, pleased.

[limping_twerpmd]

House glanced up, but didn't hold out his hand--that'd mean taking his hand off the controls.

"Leave em here. I'll sign once I'm done."

[doctor_chase]

Chase wandered inside and placed them down, peering at the video game. "Monday," he commented. "You tasting lies again?"

[limping_twerpmd]

House thought back to his earlier discussion with Foreman and the interesting taste change that had happened there. "You could say that."
