Refer back to my original statement.
And you get twitchy about my machinations?
[ By this point, Will has found some surface to settle upon or against, his knees drawn up and arms resting across them. Shadowed blue eyes settling on House and studying him in that way that doesn't even try to hide the fact that Will is doing his thing. ]

[He notices that look, and House purposefully turns his expression and his posture neutral. Try to read something off a blank wall, Mr. Empathy. The thought is accompanied by a mildly annoyed look before that's wiped away.]
Your machinations affect me in ways I can't always predict and account for. Ergo, they are more annoying.

[ Will arched an eyebrow, leaving it unsaid but really? Did House think that was how his empathy worked? Regardless, for the moment he kept whatever he was divining to himself. ]
That was what always intrigued Hannibal, that he couldn't predict me.

[Maybe not, but he still preferred the appearance of being inscrutable, thank you.]
Of course it is.
[He thinks of the dreams, of the feathered stag and the whistle Will had used to turn its rack of antlers deadly. And that hand on his throat, thumb stroking his jaw. House blinks the fragments of memories away.]
Some of the most interesting books are the ones that don't match the cover.
[There's a flicker of a smirk.]
Wilson's the same way. [A beat.] With a lot less murder-y impulses.

because it prolongs the torments of man"

[It would probably be easier and quicker to just explain but if House wants a 'no words' rule, they can have a no words rule. Flynn circles the trade exchange and scribbles a different hieroglyph under the money bag, as well as under the basket and above the corn.]
my surprise is as wide as the river Nile
your pottery collection must be impressive

Right. Yes. And that is why I keep getting sick. I just want you to heal me with your body.
[ Lips twitching in amusement, Will let the conversation be deflected away from either of them, for the moment, and onto poor Wilson. ]
A lot less, I'd agree.
Though he has his own demons to wrestle down; internal screaming that almost makes it to the surface, except he's learned how to self-flagellate before it gets past his control.
Heaven forbid he actually pursue a healthy coping mechanism.
[ Will's lips curved into a full blown smile then. ]
No wonder you two get along so well.

[House snorts.]
Don't compare our unhealthy coping methods. He's the philanderer who starts barroom brawls, not me.

Is that what you believe his unhealthy coping mechanisms to be?

One among many. The whole taking care of literally everyone before himself and bottling it up when he's pissed off and resenting someone are a couple of others.
were you there when he was writing it?
you don't know
unless you're gonna tell me there's a spirit nietzche running around

you weren't the only one who murdered me
and it didn't really happen
so whatever
[He's less fine than he's pretending to be, but that's par for the course where House is concerned.]
how many other schmucks did you shank?

[ He sighs. ]
...ten? -ish? Maybe more like a dozen. Most of them aren't here anymore. One of them was murdering Mycroft for putting that hit out on you.
[ He knows that should probably still count, but he doesn't even feel a tinge of regret for it. ]
Seems like I don't usually do so hot when it comes to quitting murder cold-turkey.

Keep going.

I'm not doing all your work for you, Graham Cracker. I've known him more than a decade. Let's just say I'm well-versed.
Then you recognize that you are both his anchor and the whip he uses to self-flagellate?
[ House had an ego, but Will suspected that this might be one area in which he might not wish to be the 'best'. ]
You recognize that his desire for self-sabotage runs even deeper than your own and that when he finally gives in to it, the destruction he brings down upon himself, will eclipse any effort you've ever attempted for yourself.
