[It's almost midnight when House's message goes out. He sounds honestly terrified. His hands are shaking too much to type, and he's too frantic to think of voice-to-text. There's also the music. He can hear it. He can't tell where it's coming from, but it's there and it's fading in and out with the static and a whisper that he can just make out.

It would probably be better to see to his wounds first, but that's secondary at the moment.]

The music. Who's hearing the music and the static? Have anyone's eyes changed? Who can hear it?

[He sings the first few lines.]

Lavender's blue, dilly dilly, lavender's green...

It's Andromeda's song for Winter. It's the song in the apartment with the knives. The Jedi heard it, too. His eyes or his hand set it off.

Who can hear it?

Protecting a little kid isn't 'doing nothing.' Or is that not big and cool and heroic enough for you?

Kes is priority one. But I can handle it.

[ The funny thing is, she believes that too. ]

So, what? You're planning to drag her around while you rescue people and put her in more danger? Or just leave her unguarded?

I know the layout of this town like the back of my hand. We go together from defendable position to defendable position, clearing it out as we go.

She wants to help, anyway. You know how she is. Easier to work with her than against her.

She weighs fifty pounds at most. I think you can keep her in one place. But what do I know? You wanna put her in more danger? Fine. When she dies just know it's on you, Brown. Bye.

[He's hanging up before she can get a word in edgewise.]
