[House's lips quirk up in a smile, but there's nothing really amused about it, more bitter.]
He won't have time. Not back home, anyway. There's something ironic about an oncologist dying from terminal cancer, isn't there?

[ Will blinks, which is a reaction to that news. Because .. yeah, ouch.
This is the place where he should make appropriate noises of condolences, but Will can run that conversation in his head and come up with a fairly short and bitter conversation indeed. Instead, he sits quietly for it to go long enough that House might think he's dropped the subject out of a sense of social awkwardness.
But ... not quite. ]
How many times did he want to let it run it's course, only to pick up the fight when you railed at him?

[House has turned his attention back to his tablet when Will speaks up again. He just keeps his gaze down on that, shrugging one shoulder.]
No idea. He's fine when I'm from. But I'm guessing more than once.

[ For a brief moment, he considers pressing forward. But he's learned some of House's more intense tells, and so Will simply nods and turns his attention down to his fingers. ]
i knew it!
but srsly, dude
bro code
we never talk about this again
like ever

I have no idea what a brocode is, but since we are miraculously in agreement, let us see that as a sign, and never talk about this again.
Unless we have reason to torture someone, anyway

i think we can use that as the torture of last resort

multiple sessions, duh
it's always been a matter of how the hell do we get to it
with the answer always being:
"dig deep"
"follow the spiral"

guess we're lucky we got the version of you who managed it better
do you feel bad about it?
or is the apology just because it's one of those things people do?
[He's not actually judging, just curious if it's the motions or if the guy's feeling some legitimate remorse.]

Al's sort of hoping it will, I think. But I really doubt it's going to be like opening floodgates or whatever.
[ At least he hopes it won't be like that. ]
We're heading to the grocery store, by the way. Thought we'd do something unrelated to the cult for a few days, and we're going to try and make a pie. Want anything from there?

Seriously? How come I haven't heard of this guy before? That sounds amazing.
But yeah, just let me know and I'll pick it up. Or try to. I don't know how scarce the pickings are down there. Everyone's always made it out to be a mecca of decent eating.
[ And he's made himself hungry now. ]

new guy
real shy kind
[Hannibal is, quite possibly, one of the least shy people House has met. But 'careful and stalking, rather than making noise' is a lot more to type.
He'll include a list of ingredients that include vegetables, fruit, and meat, along with some basic cooking items like oil, salt, pepper, garlic, and various herb seasonings.]
whatever you can find and actually carry
we're heading for the school, then res zone 3
meet up with us at the high school
might need stiffi if she's still with you

A guy so shy that he never got on the network, but he's traveling with you and Will?
[ Sounds fake, but okay. House clearly wants to keep this cook to himself. But Norfinbury will reveal him eventually- and they'll meet him at the high school, most likely. ]
Got it. We'll get what we can and pack-mule our way back over to the high school.
Is Ecks anywhere near you, by the way? If we actually manage this pie, she's got first dibs on a piece.

is your cock as long as the river Nile, as well?

[House isn't bothering to answer the first question. It's not worth coming up with more lies when he cant just ignore it.]
no idea where ecks is
need to snag her for something else, though
i'll be bringing her along with me if she's around where we are

[ Yeah, that's what he figured. But why would House not out this guy immediately, and take the opportunity to make fun of the newbie? That indicated he was really interesting, dangerous, or both. ]
Maybe we'll see her at the high school too, then. I'll keep you updated on our progress back over there.

They're not a fun time. When we were there last, we actually stayed in the garage north of the high school. That should work to break us up, other than quick meet ups. We'll just have to schedule when we're meeting at the school.
This is all, of course, assuming we don't get a blizzard or other debilitating break of the nanomachines on our way back.

in the time that i was a small seed
the land of Egypt was my calling

we'll recalibrate if and when something horrible happens
we'll plan like it's not gonna for now
