I'll keep it safe for you. [She lets him see her wrap first her large towel, then her pillowcase around the microscope. As safe as the greatest of treasures can be, inside a towel and a pillowcase at least.] We're going to be in the school shed for a few days. So come quickly!
[She does not expect what comes next. Her eyes widen slightly. With anyone else, she'd think... but House is one of her own tribe.]
Thank you, doctor, you're very kind! But I think I might be too far gone for the sulfur to help now. I've been seeing my eyes change colour and everything... do you think the same dosage of saltpeter might help?
[House wonders, briefly, who she conned to get the sulfur. Watson hadn't been buying it. Epps? Probably Epps. He puts on a grave expression and tone, looking and sounding entirely serious for a moment.]
Your eyes are... crap. You know the risks with saltpeter, but if you're already that far gone. [He rubs a thumb across his brow, looking genuinely worried.] Yeah. [A heavy sigh.] I'll put in a prescription for you, kid. Hang in there.
[The day continues to bear gifts. Kesara would beam further, except that she must look very anxious herself. She bunches her small fists together and holds them to her lips, biting her knuckles slightly as she awaits his doctorly verdict.]
I'll be brave, doctor, I promise. Whatever the risks... I'll be brave for you. I promise to get better in time for my lessons!
[They had a deal, after all. As far as she is concerned, the saltpeter is a nice bonus he's throwing in.]
