He knows he has to ask this, it became clear after the night prior. He's got so focused on House and his possible ties to Agent Carter's death that it's clouding his vision for anything else, and he's not yet so far gone down the rabbit hole that he can't see how worrying that is. He's slipping, he's possibly a danger, and he can't allow that.
It's a full five minutes before a response finally comes.]

It's a far cry from what she expected after her last few conversations with him, so oddly, it's more of a relief than anything else when she gets his next message. At least she knows now that he's willing to reach out, and that there's a bit of trust there.]

Okay.
[And with that, he's gone. He has to leave for the school.]
