Cuddy swooped on the Diagnostics conference room and found the team filtering out, leaving House and Chase in there by the whiteboard. Wait...

House watched as Chase stepped out of the room. Well, there goes his distraction.

Eyes jumping to Cuddy's demanding glare, House raised his eyebrows in acknowledgement, taking time to think up some... witty remark that both answers and doesn't. He kind of wish she didn't talk so loud, though, as it wasn't doing much good for the headache he was attempting to ignore.

"Way to suck out all the fun of talking to you in the first place, party pooper," he responded, turning to rest the marker on the bottom lip of the whiteboard, grabbing his cane and limping toward his office. "Nothing is going on. I'm fine," he added flatly.

Go ahead. Lie. It's not like she ever doubts you anyway, he scolded himself. It was fine. As long as he wasn't harming the patient, right?

It was on the tip of her tongue to petulantly accuse him of making Wilson resign. The only thing that would have made sense to accompany that was a childish foot stamp and tantrum. Even if Wilson resigning was House's fault, it was on Cuddy's shoulders as Dean and she was anxious about dealing with it. Blaming House would just be easy.

She followed him, of course. She wasn't giving up this one without some sort of result. "Why was Chase here?" she demanded, looming in front of him and locking her eyes on his face. "Amber, among others, think you're acting strangely. Give me reason to believe you aren't. Having Chase exit a differential isn't a good start."

"How do you know Chase wasn't in here to admire my undeniably good looks and my irresistible charm?" House asked, sitting down in his office chair and resting an arm on his desk.

Noting Cuddy's expression still hadn't veered from excessive disapproval, House rolled his eyes. Don't give in too far, now. "I banged my head," he stated, nonchalant. "I'm fine. You gave me time off, I graciously took it kicking and screaming, and now I'm back. I'm fine," he reiterated.

Cuddy wasn't buying it, and she stepped in front of House to conceal his view from the whiteboard in the adjoining room. "What are your patient's presenting symptoms?" she asked. She suspected from the mere fact Wilson had come to her and told her something was wrong meant it was quite serious. He hadn't exactly elaborated, but she had from Amber that House was acting oddly when she presented the case to him. If she took House's flippant comment about the hit to the head along with everything else she already knew, House had just dumped himself right in the deep end and pointed her in the direction of head issues, and she wondered if he realised that.
