[AUDIO;]

Whoa...

[There's a long pause, and then some fumbling as she realizes she has an unfamiliar electronic thingy with her. Well, when in Rome.]

Um... Hello? Can anyone hear this?

[ooc; age reversed for the hell of it~ she's 19ish, idk. in college, but not married yet ♥ fffff will be slow while i finish making some more icons~]

[Well that's tempting. And would probably get him killed. Sigh.]

I have no idea how to tell her I can't get her home.

[ The things you do for the women you love, Chase. ]

The only other idea I'm coming up with is barricading the both of you in her apartment, because otherwise... I don't know, she might try to bail and find someone more quote-unquote sensible.

Think she's get mad? After returning to normal?

I'm sensible.

[And offended! Or just pouting, it's hard to tell.]

She told me the truth, when it happened to me. Guess I owe her the same. And I think she'd get mad, and you'd feel I was taking advantage.

Yes, I'd agree that you're sensible, but to her, you probably don't seem it right now. If someone I didn't know randomly came up to me and knew my name, I'd probably think stalker.

[ A slight laugh, because the pout in his voice is noticeable. ]

...well, I can't really speak for her. Personally, I'd rather people do whatever necessary to keep me out of trouble for day, but. Different circumstances and upbringings.

Talk of taking advantage brings up questionable thoughts, though.

After twelve people have done the same thing I should think that will be the least of her worries.

[And ahsfsjgdsEDEN.]

Advantage of your ability. I don't treat a sprinter and then expect him to run off to do my errands.

I hope so, but... then again, I don't know her well to begin with, let alone however she was like when she was in college.

[ Alksdjflsdf she's laughing again, Chase, why are you so easy? ]

I didn't-- I didn't mean taking advantage of me, I meant... her. I'm the one offering to help you with my ability. She's the one you'd be using it on without permission.

Maybe we can just assume I won't be trying to take advantage of anyone. [And yes the conversation is marked private, but he still lowers his voice.] She looks about eighteen.

[Please, please never let House hear of this.]

You're not the type who would, no. I realize that.

[ She similarly lowers her voice, but probably more out of amusement than anything else. ]

Meaning it's less of a problem when she's older?

[Sigh. One of these days he's going to look in the mirror to check whether he's actually see-thru.]

It's still a problem.

[ And he should check his sleeves, too. ]

That's a little surprising to hear.

[Actually he's usually better at hiding that, usually under a very dorky sweater. And this is a strange conversation to have while he's trotting between buildings.]

Is it?

[ Makes him all the more nervous for when he gets there? A nervous Chase is somehow a very endearing Chase... usually. If it doesn't mean fudging up a case. ]

I mean, I guess that everyone has their problems and not all of them are readily apparent, but you seem like... a confident guy who shouldn't have a great number of problems in this area.

Although of course, when I think about it more, there must be a reason why people from all walks of life are turning to eHarmony these days.

[He can't reply right away. This may be because his mouth is open in a perfect, scandalised 'o'. And for the record, he doesn't screw up.

>>]

I don't have a problem in that area. Cameron's just... she's weird. The last guy she went on a date with? Was House.

[Point proven.]

But I'm doing just fine in that area, thanks. No need to start working out 'single white doctor' acronyms just yet.

[ There's a pause, and Eden's... rolling her eyes a little. But just a little. Fortunately, that doesn't carry in sounds. ]

So the problem is entirely on her end? Not denying that going on a date with House would be... weird, at best. Your tone of voice and the way you quickly decided to look after her just made it sound like there was something more going on. Maybe I'm wrong.

Also, there's nothing wrong with being single. You'd have your pick from quite a selection if that wasn't what you wanted for yourself.

We've worked together for three years. Not helping her get oriented would be the more questionable option. It might make for a poor working relationship if I let her get eaten by a bear.

[Or a vampire, or any of the other, less toothy things in this city that might stalk teenage girls. And Eden, Mohinder told him you thought he was cute.]

Like I said, I do alright.

Well, I guess if you'd give Doctor House the same treatment.

[ Well, he is cute. But Eden wouldn't tap that--too much chemistry with the unstable ones. Mohinder, Issac Mendez, Noah Bennet. She's happy in her relationship right now, Chase. ]

And alright, alright. Backing off the topic.
