[When House sees the note, sees the plush, sees the empty spaces where Hannibal and Will had been, he's angry. Angry enough to rip up the damn note in a fit of pique. He feels betrayed, frustrated. Will isn't supposed to leave. He said he'd stay. He said he'd stay! And the selfish part of House that's ever lurking seriously considers just chucking Winston in a corner and letting Eve's spiders pick it up.
But a few minutes pass, and then a few minutes more while he's sulking and the world doesn't end. Things are marginally worse today than they were the day before. A cannabis pill eases him, has him scowling and stroking the Winston plush as opposed to plotting its demise. He lets Wilson and Ecks get ready for the day and considers.
The group was at a size that had left House feeling antsy, anyway, and he could read the discomfort rolling off of Wilson in waves, as well. He's not sure what to make of that other than his friend sensing some of the crazy that follows Will's every move and lightly wafts from Hannibal's direction. Wilson's always been more perceptive than most people give him credit for, even House sometimes. Ecks is Ecks. She's strange, but unobtrusive and definitely not crazy, just naive. And a kid. So.
They can use this. Will and Hannibal are both intelligent and willing to do things that other people would find... unpalatable. Spreading that out means they get more done. House has someone reliable he can call on and coordinate with if he has a need for remote experiments. Well... reliable for now. He'll need to keep checking in with Will, providing him a sanity check. It's really about keeping him efficient, nothing to do with attachment or emotions. Not in the least.
House sends a message to Will's tablet later that afternoon when they pause for a break and he has time to mull over his words. They need to be strategic about this.]
could you have been more melodramatic? jesus
