[It doesn't come immediately. Davesprite's never really liked bleeding, seen enough of it in his life as it is, and likes even less the idea of causing it on purpose. And it's small, sure; all he needs to do is nick himself. He doesn't have a knife or needle, but the nails on his hands are talon-ish enough for the job. It just... takes a moment, to steel himself and do it.]
[When the video turns on, the view is of his forearm, near the elbow. He's given himself a small scratch and the blood wells from it clearly.]
[It's bright yellow, part from the color itself, part from its faint glow.]
so the rest of it? they talked when she first arrived i assume they met up at some point by chance she wanted a project he's a hell of a project she's decided to tame him or something teach him how to be friends and have emotions
it's touching, really like a pomeranian with a tiger
[Can you read the sarcasm.]
she's got some kinda thing for defending physically and mentally ill people probably because she's got some disorder, too, at a guess you'd know better than i would if you're besties or were dating or something
[Not likely, House. In the meanwhile, Davesprite tends his scratch, glad for the paper towels he found earlier to make it easier, then puts his coat back on. It's cold at night even indoors, and he's not about to form a cuddle pile with his fellow travelers.]
[But the things House says...]
jades fine she just had a weird upbringing but i dont think youre wrong about the rest i was talking to her about the recording thing he does acted like i was the unfair one for calling it weird because hes mentally ill and needs accommodations or whatever apply air quotes as needed
[It sure puts some perspective on things between them, though. If he wasn't a project to take on, then who is?]
no its not the dog thing shes been part dog for three years and ive known her for longer but shes from a different timeline where some not so great stuff happened maybe thats it
ive been up against worse if i need someone to stitch a wing back on again ill let you know
[It's easier to be flippant than to say how actually concerned he is. He's going to need to think on how to do this, and until then he'll have to not raise Brian's suspicions. After his fuss the night before about the camera, it might be better if he keeps it calm for now. Act natural. Keep his space, still, but...]

welp
that's the 4-1-1, kid
you try to break them up
good luck not getting murdered
and losing your pet dog
[This is House's version of advice to leave it alone, Davesprite. He was would rather you not get hurt or whatever. Not that he'd say as much.]
