I'm not asking you to validate anything, and nothing you say is going to make me go away. I already know that you're a jerk, and I already know that you're good at hurting feelings, so I'm ready for it.
[Nothing will deter him.]
So it might be easier if you just told me how you were.
cw: discussion of suicidal intentions and character death
[There's just the briefest pause as Al gathers himself.]
You're right, I did, but that was something in the town making me do things that I would never do. I'm not going to let that stop me from helping you now.
[There's a tightness to his voice that says House is getting to him, but he's not letting it overwhelm him.]
I know you're just trying to drive me away because you're an idiot who doesn't want help, well... tough. I'm sorry, I know it's not ideal for either of us, but I still care about you enough to not just leave you alone and let you kill yourself.
or maybe now stay with me, lelly maybe i'm terrified of you and less contact is better for my mental health overall especially when i'll probably have nightmares of you tonight
if you're so worried, i'm on meds happy? i haven't wanted or tried to kill myself on them
[That really does get to him, it chips away at a part of him to think that anyone could be scared of him. He can hardly blame House, though, can he?]
I'm sorry if you're scared, but I'm nowhere near you and I can't hurt you over the tablets. If this makes you hate me more, then so be it, but nothing you say is going to drive me away from this.

[It's probably the most significant weapon he has to pull on Al. If this doesn't work...]

I told you that wasn't going to work.

Guess you're just going to have to accept having me around after all, huh?

I won't keep you long each day, I'm sure you have time for that.
