[He'll remember later, he'll know what happened later, but for just right now, House is going to feed him the same lie as everyone else. He lets the moments tick away before replying, giving it added emotional weight.]
it was an accident
[Sort of true. Also not answering Beckett's question, but implicating himself.]
[You know what, he's too angry to give you more than he has to. Text it is.]
I'm glad I was able to serve as Graham's relief valve. Did you pet him on the head and tell him what a good boy he was? Of course I plan on crowing. Give me one reason not to.
[More like Will hugged and pet House, but details. That's an awkward conversation.]
the tiger's still on the leash you take that away he doesn't have any incentive to keep playing like he's just a big ole pussycat as for graham you out his bf he'll probably fall off the deep end again and he's got a lot of targets around who might threaten him and what he has keeping quiet's the logical thing to do there's less mess and a hell of a lot less collateral
i am sorry you got killed i told you it wasn't part of the plan
Bugger your plan. What happens the next time someone stumbles on the lovebirds' little secret? And what the hell is supposed to keep me safe now, except this time when I meet them I'll know to watch my back?
they won't you were traveling with lecter for two months you knew he was dangerous did you have any idea it was that way? did he ever threaten you? did graham? lecter's a psychopath graham's dating one they're not morons
okay they're not morons about that
what keeps you safe is the same thing that keeps me safe silence except for with the people you know won't flip the hell out you wanna chat with a neutral third party? gray knows what lecter is and if you're really worried about getting murdered again then me you end up bunking with us again you can put yourself between me and the big, scary graham cracker
Silence for safety? Really? Do you think that would work on me?
[Come on, asshole bro, you know him better than that.]
And do you think they're the first of this type I've seen? Lecter will bugger on until he gets bored and snaps. Graham's snapped already and just needs the circumstances. Let's not even bring up where you're going. It'll happen. And you expect me not to warn Angel and Rhys, who between them have the self defense capabilities of a day-old puppy?
[He's trying every tool in the toolbox at the moment because logically, House knows Beckett should tell people. He'll, he should've told people back when Lecter turned up. But there are strategic benefits to the current situation... mainly for Will's mental health. Let's just redirect slightly.]
where i'm going? dude, srsly?
the compulsion's gone no more biting or licking tragic for you, i know unless this is your way of saying you want in my pants to keep quiet
And now whose mind is always jumping to sex. No. Where you are going is into the menage a trois version of a folie a deux, only with extra violence, and the pathetic thing is that you know it. Now I am assuming you have experienced at least some minuscule pang of regret at the thought that I might not return, if only because you are a bloody doctor, so do at least try to process that, because it is embarrassing when en elder vampire is lecturing you about holding on to sane humanity!
there's way too much french going on in that comment i only speak amurrican and pls you realize the joker's been trying the "you're just like me embrace your inner darkness/madness" thing virtually since we met i know what i'm doing
[Mostly.]
whatever bloodsucker bond fantasy you've got going on about us i'm not like you my addictions don't involve blood or killing ppl and if you're that worried i've got lecter on three separate leashes if he gets cute and graham's kink is being corrupted not corrupting
you died that sucks i don't actually hate you a lot of freaking people have died here amazingly i don't actually want a lot more to die you need to get your head out of your ass and think strategically not just about your little cadre
lecter and graham are smart they're useful they're murderers sometimes but on balance not having them ostracized by the self-righteous idiots here saves more lives than it threatens
If there is one thing I can say for a fact about you is that you don't have the first idea what you're doing. You are miles out of your depth, House. You're used to a world that makes sense where the monsters are metaphorical and madness is a medical condition. The least you can do is consider that maybe, after surviving three hundred years of horrors and mind games you cannot begin to imagine, I may have some relevant advice.
[Why is he bothering? Why won't he just not care?]
The first being that that isn't how strategic thinking works here. Take a look around. The east tunnel was found by a child. Zack bloody Fair has as much if not progress to his name as you and me. And my little cadre includes the only people here who can hack the network. So at least stop pretending this is about some logical idea of who is useful.
christ no one else is a vampire lecter's not we all play by human mind-game rules
and you're not thinking logical i'm saying that everyone is important including lecter and graham they're more useful not worrying about getting run down for things they did in the past or whatever or things they've done here if you wanna get technical on graham people already hate me just stick with the story about the accident or say i offed you for getting in my way whatever the hell you want
i know you're already getting something out of graham for this probably lecter, too is there something you want from me? greedy
