[His voice sounds small. House feels small as the full weight of things hits him. This isn't like Al, who'd managed to survive. This isn't like when Royce attacked and he'd only stabbed and brained her. This is a girl he'd gotten killed because of his mouth. His mouth, not her. She was just trying to protect him.]
[He's deaf, so it's not like her voice means much. He doesn't get the notification of a message from Ecks and switches her incoming messages to voice-to-text. There's a tight knot of fear in his chest that eases only marginally when he sees Ecks' message.]
you're pretty talkative for a dead girl who isn't awake did you lose the ability to take anything seriously?
on the bright side if people just stick to yes or no questions they'll know you always mean the opposite of what you say you woke up in the hospital, right?
[She expected an argument...rather, she expected him not to understand what she was talking about. They do have things to do, and she should be with him.]
I know exactly what I want to do. I don't care whether I find you again.
it's decent to trade if you have a thermos that'll keep some of the heat you'll get more for it cold coffee's something but not as good you could probably rip america off i'm betting he's addicted to coffee

[That...is not what she intended to say. There's silence for a few seconds before she tries again.]
I never woke up at all.
