[Action] He really doesdr_tightassSeptember 2 2009, 00:33:24 UTC
[Wilson's return takes Cuddy by surprise; she had been staring blankly at the paperwork in her hands, unable to concentrate enough to even sign her name. She takes the food with a weak smile.]
Thanks.
[She unwraps the sandwich and takes a bite, not caring -- probably not even noticing -- that the clerk had put extra mayonnaise instead of no mayo. Eating was a simple, brainless action, which is pretty much all Cuddy feels up to.]
[What's this? Chase is clutching a flier as he leans around the door, looking first at the pale figure in the bed, then at the woman beside it.
House got shot a few months ago. This might feel like weird deja-vu, but if the bastard can survive that, he'll make it through anything. This won't be what beats him.
As for what might beat Chase, however - the young doctor looks exhausted. He hasn't been sleeping right since his own attack, and going out to pick House up in the small hours of the morning hasn't exactly left him perky. He's fresh off a break right now, though, four hours sleep to top up his dwindling supply.]
[Cuddy looks up at Chase and smiles wanly. She hasn't yet lived through House being shot, and so this scares her. She's seen what people can do to one another -- she's stitched together the wounds -- but to have it happen to House... Wasn't what happened to Chase bad enough?]
A[He smiles back at her. If there's one thing doctors at his level are used to, it's a lack of sleep.]
More than I'd get in a full week on call.
[And he makes he way to the bedside, gamely disguising most of his limp to look down at House's charts and monitors. The flier slips from his grip onto Cuddy's lap.]
Cameron lives on her own.
[Just an observation. Admittedly not one he'd have made while he was still a regular visitor to his colleague's apartment.]
After losing as much blood as you did? That's not good enough. You should be resting.
[She idly glances at the flier as Chase mentions Cameron. The other doctor admittedly would not be her first choice of roommates, were they back home...but if they were back home, she wouldn't need a roommate.]

How's he doing?

He's stable. Sleeping.
[She looks at Chase with overt concern.]
You look like hell. Have you slept at all?
