"Uh, good morning,” Wilson replied, only mildly surprised to find Cameron sitting at House’s desk. Though in the back of his mind Wilson had hoped House would be in, he knew it was unlikely considering the early hour. He was really just there to leave House a reminder note about the interviews later in the day.

“I...I just came in to leave this,” Wilson said, walking across the desk and sticking his pre-written post-it note to the lamp, where hopefully House would see it.

It read ‘1:30pm, the mice await - JW’.

Wilson considered explaining to Cameron what that meant, but then decided it against. “Been pretty quiet around here lately, I take it,” he said instead, realising it’d probably be rude to just walk out again.

She glanced up from the computer screen and took noticed of the post-it note first. She considered asking what it was about, but she quickly decided against it; she wasn't really sure she wanted to know what it meant. Her eyes moved from the note to Wilson himself, and she offered her usual smile.

"It's been fairly quiet, but something is bound to come up. Something always does," she said, pausing to sip her tea. "I'm trying to get a head start on the usual emails before that something comes along, whatever it is."

Wilson nodded, putting his hands into his lab coat pockets, “Probably the wise thing to do. Though if I was you I’d just be enjoying the peace while it lasted, not doing House’s work for him.” Wilson looked pointedly at the computer screen, though he didn’t really have anything against Cameron checking House’s e-mail for him.

It seemed that she did do it on her own free-will, after all. If it seemed Cameron was doing it because House had coerced her in some way, Wilson probably would have had more to say on the topic.

The thought of all the work that was awaiting him in his own office filled Wilson with dread. He knew he’d have more work than usual to deal with, to make up for the time it’d take to get through the interviews. Considering that it was still early, Wilson grabbed the large tennis ball that sat on House’s desk and slumped into the spare chair. Procrastination was a finely tuned art.

“How was your weekend?” Wilson finally asked, tossing the ball between his hands, after struggling to find something to say.

The awkward conversation amused Cameron, and she really couldn't help but smirk. "There must be work in your office you're trying to avoid," she stated, proving that she was, indeed, master of the obvious. She shrugged and resumed her typing as she spoke. "I caught up on my reading. I had a couple of books I'd been neglecting for awhile. How was your weekend? Decidedly more interesting than mine, I'm sure."
