IC Contact (Snowblind)

[Why the delay, House?]

I'm not sure exactly, I've never really weighed the armour before...

[Because he was weighing whether or not he should act like a real grown-up doctor, okay?]

how much did you weigh when you were a human?

I don't know exactly, but I guess the last time I saw my body it probably weighed about sixty pounds.

[Weird that his weight as a human has now come up twice in such short succession.]

[On the low end of average for a 10-year-old, but still acceptable.]

i can put you on fluoxetine
10 mg/day
it's one of the most commonly prescribed antidepressants
and has a regular dosage for kids
bupropion doesn't have a standard for someone in your weight class

[Oh, wait. He may have made a mistake here.]

I'm not really a kid, I've got to be nearly sixteen by now.

[He needs an adult one if he's going to pass it on to Clint.]

Besides, my body here weighs more and is much bigger than my real body.

[There's a long pause on House's end as he realizes how dumb it is he was actually starting to believe this kid.]

you know, lelly, i don't see many drug addicts jonesing for antidepressants
and i'm gonna guess they don't even exist in your world in any meaningful way
so who're these really for so I can prescribe the right dosage and get it to them directly?

They're for me.

[He's not that bad of an actor when it matters, and he sounds mildly indignant now.]

I just wasn't sure a child's dose would work. You're basing it on the weight of a body I don't even have here.
