Oh, my. I really love the "new puppy/dog meat" line at the restaurant, and ... that study on pain meds is real, I would imagine.

The only things that "bump" for me are a couple mild instances in which I don't think Wilson sounds quite like Wilson; a little more bouncy in the first scene than we know him to be. "You did" would be perfect without the "Now I'm back!"

I truly wish we could actually see Canon!Wilson behave like this, though, giving what House actually needs rather than what Wilson imagines he needs.

changed 'you did' to 'and'-- but i was actually going for a bit bouncy, to, you know, get on house's nerves instead of being all solicitous and everything; hence the 'wilson observes brightly.' but that's what i get for writing and posting in the same motion--was worth a try.

You know, I had no problem with the "observes brightly" and I should have been more specific about that. It was very clear what Wilson was doing, and I think it works; it just felt like a tiny bit too much for him. The bright tone would have done the job without the exclamation point, is what I was trying to say.

And for what it's worth? I can't write-and-post in one go, myself. Ever. I don't really know anyone who can, and be happy with the results for more than five minutes.

So go easy on yourself, okay?
