he believes he is an alternative option we've gone through this before was he always this suicidal?
i think i can come up with an idea or two, though can i count on you siding with me if it's a choice between him or me? as much fun as we have together i'm guessing you like tea more than feathers
I do not believe he wants to die. But he will sacrifice himself to what he believes to be a greater purpose. Such as saving the life of a friend. If you can convince him such a thing is unnecessary, you might lull him into complacency.
You may certainly count on me to choose his life over yours.
and friendship is incredibly inconvenient as i'm sure you're aware i'll figure something out just be on your guard when we get to the hospital my money's on something happening there if anywhere
and he probably told you beckett's meeting up with us he's part of the "answers before feelings" group around here so he's about as much of a dick as me just so you're forewarned
i'm not playing beckett's babysitter but i'll tell him to take a hike to his own corner when we're stuck in close quarters your teacup's going to have to deal with being around people he doesn't know or like i have he can
He can. But Will's discomfort makes it more likely that he will act rashly, and therefore that he will decide to become the alternate option. It is in the best interest of your intentions for him to be comfortable.
[House glares at the message for a long moment. He knows he's being herded toward a particular conclusion, and he doesn't particularly like that it's the logical one because it feels too much like going along with what Hannibal wants him to do.]
we'll see how things go beckett might be a good boy all on his own and leave people alone he'll probably be more interested in you
[Hannibal is totally manipulating House. And smiles at House's unwillingness to easily capitulate to Hannibal's requests. That reluctance makes House interesting, which is his best protection against Hannibal's murderous urges, Will aside.]
I would be happy to meet him and take his attention, particularly if it might mean Will remains less stressed and less desperate.
aren't you a regular knight in shining armor? be careful what you tell him unless you don't care about him knowing what you are that will probably be the most interesting you two can talk meal tips
[Why is he surrounding himself with cannibals and blood-suckers? Really.]

No offense.
