Wyn

[drfeelbad]

"Wyn?" House stopped him in the hallway. "You have a minute?"

Part of him wanted to wait until he had more answers to talk to Wyn about the tests he'd been doing, but hee probably deserved to stay informed.

Comments

"I examine everyone like that," House said. "Boring humans included."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I'm just saying that your kindness doesn't go unnoticed, and it means a lot," Wyn replied.

[drfeelbad]

"I mean, you're the one who offered to take away my pain, which we both know would cost you something," House pointed out.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"No one should have to suffer, Greg. No one," Wyn said simply.

[drfeelbad]

"Well, alas." He shrugged. "Hey at least I've got a leg. Look at Hart, he looks like a pirate."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"...Was that recent then? The eye, I mean," Wyn asked, keeping his voice low.

[drfeelbad]

"Yeah," said House. "Around the same time the headmistress disappeared."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"No one told me about that stuff before I came here," Wyn admitted.

[drfeelbad]

"I don't know anything useful," House said, "about all that. I'm not exactly in the inner circle."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I wonder who is," Wyn said, looking thoughtful.

[drfeelbad]

"Bond," said House.

He noticed things.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Wyn tensed at the mention of Bond, just a brief moment of visible discomfort at the mention of the man.

"I'd thought the Headmaster might keep better company than that."

[drfeelbad]

House couldn't help it; he snorted a laugh.

[prince_of_nymphs]

Wyn chewed his bottom lip.

"I'm worried he's interested in my brother," he admitted.

[drfeelbad]

"Hart?" House said. "Or Bond? Or both."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"Bond," Wyn replied quietly.

[drfeelbad]

"Worth cautioning him against," House said. Not least of which because House was pretty sure he and Hart were fucking again.

And then... he couldn't seem to stop himself from asking... "Your brother... he flirt with everyone?"

[prince_of_nymphs]

Wyn seemed to think for a moment, then shook his head. "Not here," he admitted. "I think he's a bit more open back home, but he's got pretty mixed feelings about humans."

[drfeelbad]

"... ah," said House. Not quite sure how he felt about that.

He kind of wanted to tell Wyn that he thought Alwyn had come onto him. See how he reacted. But he couldn't bring himself to say it.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I hope in time he'll find his place here. ...It's actually been nice having him near. I don't think I realized I missed him," Wyn admitted.

[drfeelbad]

“Good,” said House. “I’m glad.” He hadn’t gotten a good sense of whether they even got along.

[prince_of_nymphs]

"What do you think of him?" Wyn asked curiously, wondering what sort of impression Alwyn had been making.

[drfeelbad]

"He has terrible taste," snorted House before he could stop himself, but then clarified flippantly, "I think he was hitting on me. But look, he seems like a good guy. Obviously cares about you."

[prince_of_nymphs]

"I'm sure he wasn't hitting on you," Wyn replied, looking doubtful, then realizing how rude that could seem. "Not because you aren't desirable, just... He's not into humans, you know?"

[drfeelbad]

Ouch, thought House.

"Right," he said neutrally. "That makes sense." Noted.
