[There is something about House's tone that bothers Wanda. Even though perfectly polite, it (she?) sounds nervous, almost scared. In fact, Wanda finds herself struck by the sudden and powerful urge to hug House. Which, of course, is just ridiculous! How do you hug a House? And it's a machine, isn't it? Self-aware, sure, but still a machine. It can't need reassurance... can it? Wanda is so conflicted. Perhaps if she'd been from an alternate life, where she'd loved and even married an artificial being, then she would know the right thing to say or do. But she wasn't, so she didn't.]

House, I... um... Well, just take care of yourself, okay? And call me if you need anything, anything at all. I'll help if I can.
