Maybe, what would you want for them?

[rubikscomplex]

[Well, damn.]

how much protein powder do you have?

[exequies]

I'll be there when I'm there. No sooner or later.

[armoured]

A 500g jar, sealed and unopened.

[rubikscomplex]

why do you want them, anyway?
feeling blue?

[armoured]

No, but I have some friends who are.

[rubikscomplex]

who?

[armoured]

I'm not going to tell you that, it's personal to them.

[rubikscomplex]

i'm not giving you drugs unless i know who they're for
someone could od on these

[armoured]

I could give you approximate age, weight, and gender. But no names.

[rubikscomplex]

not good enough
i need to know who to keep an eye on
i worry

[armoured]

[He snorts, not at all buying that.]

If you wanted them for yourself, you could have just said that.

[rubikscomplex]

i want blackmail material, kid
mental health issues are great for that

[armoured]

Uh huh.

[See Al, see Al not believe this.]

How long have you been taking them?

[rubikscomplex]

you caught me
i've been taking them since i found them
my never-ending supply!

[armoured]

I'm sorry you're feeling depressed, Dr. House.

[He might tell others, who knows?]

Have you asked another doctor for help?

[rubikscomplex]

[House claps a hand over his face.]

are you suddenly immune to sarcasm, lelly?

[armoured]

Uh huh, I am when it comes from you.

[rubikscomplex]

i'm not depressed, you moron
there
lemme just spell that out for you directly

[armoured]

Then you shouldn't mind trading the pills to me; you know, if you're not using them.

[rubikscomplex]

i don't
what i mind is trading them to you for some random person i don't know
i am actually a doctor
i like to know where my prescriptions are going

[armoured]

Fine... they're for me, happy now?

[He's not actually that bad of a liar when he wants to be, and when it doesn't involve his armour.]

I just didn't want to tell you because-- well, you know what you're like.

[rubikscomplex]

mr. optimist is depressed?
that's certainly unbelievable

[No, it's not. The kid's been through hell here.]

what symptoms are you experiencing?

[armoured]

[He has never had depression, doesn't really know the symptoms, but he has an idea. And he does have his down moments, not nearly enough to classify it as having depression, but perhaps an inspiration to draw on for his lie.]

I guess-- just feeling kind of hopeless, like I can't be of help to anyone. Sad all the time, tired.

[He was feeling like that not so long back, he's not any more.]

[rubikscomplex]

[That gets a raise of House's brows.]

how long have you been feeling like that?
