He didn't really think that. He was just amused by how defensive the both of them were getting over it. Her with her body language - and if this guy wasn't the guardian, then what was he doing watching over someone else's kid? Annoying do-gooders - and Spike with his words.
"Nope!" he said when Spike asked if there was anything that could convince him this wasn't a dream - and that was probably for the best, anyway. If he knew it wasn't a dream... wasn't like he'd take it terribly well.
Lizzy scowled at House, and was close to arguing with him that he was being a stupid head and that he wasn't ever going to wake up because he was really here and not dreaming when Spike apologized for his language. She shook her head to indicate that the apology was largely unnecessary. It wasn't like ( ... )

"To get your daily nicotine fix," he said, before he withdrew slightly, and waved his cane vaguely in Lizzy's direction. "Figured you didn't want to do it in here, 'cause of the kid. Though if it's a case of not having any," he shrugged. "Just thought I'd point it out."
Though really, it was no skin off his teeth either way.
Lizzy was starting to grow bored with her playing, and glanced over, wondering what the adults were up to, and why Daisie wasn't here to play with her. Surely... the other girl hadn't been sent to the other side, right? She pouted slightly at that thought. There was no one else her age around here! Who was she supposed to play with?

If they were lucky, they'd shed the doctor somewhere between now and soon.
He wondered how lucky they were.

"No one here," she informed them, though she did suspect that they already knew that. "I checked," she frowned. "I'm not sure where else to look. If Dora and Daisie aren't here... they might be on the other side," she reasoned.
Though that made her eyes widen with the sudden realization that Dora and Saul would be on the same side - and she wouldn't be there to police it. She scowled faintly. Well, maybe he'd be smart enough to know that she wouldn't be pleased with him if he tried anything.
Besides, everything would be set to rights again eventually. She was sure of it. She'd go back to DauphinMare with Saul, and Dora would come back here by herself. So Lizzy wasn't too concerned.
"I'm not... sure where everyone else is," she murmured. "The TV room maybe?"
She hadn't spent a lot of time there herself, but others may have.
House rolled his eyes slightly, but he didn't say ( ... )

He nodded to House. "I assume you'll be following along with us?" he inquired before he started toward the door with Lizzy. "Where's the TV room?" he inquired. He had an idea; he'd glimpsed it - or one, anyway - on their way in, and assumed that was the one she was referring to.
Still, it wouldn't hurt to let her lead.

He chuckled a bit at that before he moved to follow them, using his cane for support. He knew that it was vital that he find some more Vicodin soon. He was managing with his own supply, of course, but... he'd run out of that pretty fast at this rate. Maybe later he would go in search of a wandering healer.
Lizzy grinned, feeling useful, and reaching for Spike's hand before heading for the doors and then outside into the... well, lack of sun, really. She took a moment to orient herself in an obvious manner, trailing her hand along the horizon and looking at the familiar - as well as the not familiar - building before she got herself sorted, and started in the direction she thought the TV was. She took slight comfort - and also felt slight anxiety - in the fact that there were usually people there. She just hoped that there would be more friendly people, and no... scary people ( ... )

He hoped the doctor didn't hang out for long, but really ... he was rather well versed in ignoring people who annoyed him. If he was lucky, they'd just chill in front of the TV for a bit 'til this mess was sorted out or whatever was going to happen, happened.

"Or the remote should go to the person who deserves it," Lizzy snapped, turning her head around to glare at House. "When was the last time that you did something helpful?"
"Save lives, every day kid," House quipped back, making a brief spinning motion with his cane before pressing it into the ground again as he leaned on it. "World famous doctor, right here."
Lizzy scoffed - she didn't believe it. Doctors had to care about people. From what she could see, House didn't seem like he cared about anyone.
Reply
He grinned down to Lizzy. "Besides, if he tries to steal the remote, I'll bite 'im, and then we'll see who's worse off than who."
Once they reached the lounge, he stepped inside and glanced around.
Peyton glanced up, brows elevating slightly as a trio tromped in. She didn't recognize any of them, which meant they were either all new - or all from DauphinMare.
Either way, if they weren't going to mess with her, she wasn't going to bother them, so she lifted a hand in a wave before turning her attention back to the TV.

When they entered the lounge, Lizzy grew tense, and hid behind Spike a bit again when she noticed there was someone else in the room. Someone she knew? It didn't really look like it. But she thought it was someone from this side.
She swallowed heavily, not really wanting to acknowledge her presence, but at the same time too scared not to, so she just tried to hide and blend into the wall, pretending that she wasn't there.
House rolled his eyes at the kid - you couldn't pay him to play guardian for the day, regardless of how many people were going to yell at her. Quite frankly, she probably deserved half of it. She looked like a spoiled little brat. He shrugged his shoulders ( ... )
Reply
Well, no. The kid wasn't new. She'd seen her around before. And she was ... very certain she recognized the blonde guy from the other side.
Well, well, well, wasn't that interesting? "Guess not," she said with a wicked grin before she turned her attention back to the TV.
Spike quirked a brow but shrugged it off. "We stickin' around?" he asked Lizzy, glancing down to her. She seemed awfully uncomfortable, after all.
Reply
Lizzy shifted a bit, uncomfortable, and glanced over to Peyton and then over to House before she glanced back up at Spike, and said, "If... you want to watch..." and gestured toward the TV. She thought that was part of the reason why he came here, after all - hadn't he been talking about fighting over the remote? She didn't want to make him leave because of that. She'd suck it up if he wanted to stay.
Reply
That kinda would've sucked.
"Nah. We can take off," he said as he lightly ruffled Lizzy's hair. There had to be a TV somewhere else, or ... something else to do. And he wasn't really inclined to fight for the remote, either.
If they wanted to snark at each other, he was fine letting them do just that.
Reply
He glanced at the TV, and nearly made a comment about how he thought what they were watching was dumb, before he decided he's save that until after he won this current argument.
Lizzy nodded, relieved more than anything. She was still nervous that someone was going to call her on leaving and get her into trouble or something - it wasn't like she had cleared it with anyone over here before going. She really hadn't been expecting to come back. So she was more than content to leave the lounge, and the mean doctor in it, if he seemed content to stay.
"Let's not tell him we're going," Lizzy whispered to Spike as she moved to leave.

His bet was sex on the couch, then he wondered if he'd been in DauphinMare too long.
Peyton watched the pair leave before she glanced back to House. "You must be pleasant company. Your friends seemed so inclined to hang around," she quipped.
She did give serious thought to ignoring his quip about them being the winners before she figured she wasn't going to go down that easy. "And how is that suiting you so far?" she inquired, brows elevating. "I heard everyone likes to slum it once in a while."
Reply
Damn, he wished he had popcorn.
He smirked silently when she didn't continue to argue him on the winner / loser front. Now he just had to remember that they'd established those were opposites, because surely they'd come back to it at some point during the conversation. "Better than I expected," he said with a shrug. "The cafeteria - or mess hall - is a bit dismal, and really, you don't have any of the good medication that I can steal," he flipped his cane around a bit to remind her that he had a bum leg. "But I suppose I've lived through worse."
He smirked again. "Though I can see you're enjoying it. This a step up from your usual?"
He was going to get bitchslapped at some point, and he knew it, but he couldn't help himself.
