Video; open + locks, a few hours after the earthquakes

[The video pans across a table completely covered in muffins, arranged into neat, cheery baskets, artistically arranged by color in a shallow pyramid. There are all manner of strange and strangely healthy flavors: raspberry lime muffins, zucchini basil muffins, blue corn muffins, ginger pumpkin muffins, and more. A little mechanical droid carefully adds another batch to the pile, still hot and steaming faintly. When the smooth voice comes, it is quiet, uncertain, almost ashamed.]

...I think I made too many muffins.

Does. Um. Anyone want some?

[Privated separately to Wanda, Dr. Orpheus, Loki, and Lucifer. Its sounds nervous.]

Is there any magical method that would guarantee perfectly repairing architectural damage?

Thank you, miss.

[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.

[A little more warmly]

I will try, thank you. And I shall keep your offer in mind.
