[He knows this is not something that he should ask. Still, it comes out before he can stop it.]

What about yours?

[rubikscomplex]

[It takes a while for House to respond. He doesn't want to want it, but Christ, if he doesn't want it... Wilson's liable to get divorced soon. Maybe he'd look forward to having a kid to take care of.]

there are fewer nuclear winters
and crazy suicide diseases
it's one option

[He wants to leave it at that, but his fingers keep going.]

i'm crap at taking care of other people
but i've got a friend who could help 'til you're old enough
wilson
he'd help
cuddy, too
but you don't even know her

[averytinyparticle]

I remember both of them.

[Wilson because he was here, if only briefly, and Cuddy because she was in House's dream.]

Dr. Cameron is there too, right?

[rubikscomplex]

[It's still a little uncomfortable that Quark was in his dreams like that.]

yeah
cameron'd probably look out for you
i've got my other fellows, too
they don't usually let kids just hang around the hospital, though
ever been to school?

[averytinyparticle]

What other fellows?

[He shakes his head.]

No. No school. There aren't really enough kids around where I live to fill a whole school.

[rubikscomplex]

chase and foreman
they work in my department with cameron
wilson's in oncology
and cuddy's the hospital admin
not like eve
cuddy isn't all-seeing
whatever she wants to think she is

we'll have to catch you up on classes, then
most of the early crap is easy, anyway
you can figure it out

[averytinyparticle]

I'm guessing Cuddy doesn't have a legion of robotic spider-minions either.

[He's not sure whether or not he's actually up for sassy jokes right now, but it comes out easy.]

I bet I'd be good at statistics. But that's not one of the early crappy classes, is it?

[rubikscomplex]

nope!
just interns

[House will cling to the sassy jokes. This isn't a serious consideration. They're not actually planning out for this possibility. It's just joking around.]

stats comes in somewhere in the middle school
how are you at algebra?
