[Taking a look at this after sending a message to Will and...really? He doesn't feel particularly attached to House, either, aside from his ordinary attachment.]
I meant our mutual friend, though I did once enjoy our debates.
you do realize fangs is just another pawn for me to use, right? no idea what he's been saying to you but we're not friends
[House doesn't even know what he is with Beckett anymore. His emotions have wound up in an obnoxious tangle somehow. One that the doctor doesn't know how to begin to undo.]
[Just in case House decides to take this to him for any reason... And that's the only reason he's not calling House a liar, as well. Beckett is proud, and would not take kindly to being used, he thinks. If that were truly all it were he would know, and he's certain there would be much more antagonism between them.
Beckett, could, of course, then have a reason to allow it, but Enoch's battered mind can't think that far.]
you've observed us texting back and forth congratulations you're like everyone else here who can read
[He knows there's no real reason to be this aggressive at Enoch, but the fact that he's still trying to be nice after every cruelty the doctor has thrown at him is frustrating and strange and sets House off.]
what are you even getting out of this? hoping to comfort other people to distract yourself from your own misery deal with your own problems stop using me as a crutch
[Says Gregory House, the king of avoiding his own problems.]
I'm hoping to comfort people because I care about others.
[Also that other thing because he has no idea how to deal with his own problems but having a shitload of empathy helps redirect it all so efficiently...]
