"Where are you going?" Cameron asked, her heels clicking rapidly on the floor as she tried to keep up with, despite his limp and walking stick.
"To see my patient." He replied as though it was obvious.
"You never go see patients."
"That is not true- remember that blonde gymnast?"
"Other than attractive females, you don't go see patients until you have to."
"You mean when I have to go find out the truth after they all lie to you."
"Everybody lies." Cameron sighed, shaking her head lightly.
"Everyone except this kid- deaf, mute and can't sign because of that funky thumb of his."
"He's not some freak show."
"I don't visit patients you complain. I visit patients you complain."
"Well seeing as you're going to see him, you can save me the visit." Cameron said handing over her clipboard.
"Obs smobs, I'm here for the thumb and the rash." House smiled, raising his eyebrows a few times before turning to slide open the door of the room. "Here we are, what's wrong with us today?"
"Who are you talking to?" Cameron asked as she checked off the patient's chart.
"Little Bobby here." House replied, peering over Cameron's shoulder to read the patient's name. "Good bedside manner and all that."
"He prefers to be called Rob. And he's deaf."
"He could still lip read."
"He's asleep." Cameron pointed out as she leant over the boy to continue her examination.
"I doubt he'll be asleep long- he's missing out on a show." House smiled as he glanced down Cameron's chest. His smile widened as Rob's eyes fluttered open.
Straightening herself up Cameron continued to write on the chart. "It says on his chart he can't lip read." She bit her lip as she tried to not laugh at her boss' over exaggerated speech.
"And what genius figured that out?" House said, throwing his cane up and catching it before hooking it over the edge of the bed. Cracking his fingers he beckoned the boy's attention and began to sign to him. The boy's smile grew before he suggestively nodded towards Cameron.
"What did you say to him?" Cameron asked, outraged at the looks the boy was giving her.
"That's for me to know and you to most definitely never find out." He said as he lifted his cane and winked at his patient before limping out of the room.
