Kristen slouched further down in her seat and crossed her arms. She had pursed her lips in an effort to remain silent and not scream out the profanity flashing in her mind. Besides, she knew swearing wouldn't do any good or go anywhere.
The girl did, however, throw a dagger-like glare in House's direction.

"You do know that you can’t really pierce me with your stares."

"As long as I'm trying, right?" Kristen retorted, turning away from him.
Her conscience, she felt, was about to give way to rage. Or was it shame?

*House snorted.* "You're pathetic."

The walls that had, until now, been holding back the flood of emotions broke. Kristen could not tell whether she was relieved for it or terrified. It was certainly a release, but what would House think?
"I know I'm pathetic!" she cried. "I don't need you to tell me that!"
The girl covered her face in her hands and wept, her sobs violently racking her body.

*House frowned in, what seemed to be, disgust.* "Oh geez," *he muttered, rolling his eyes.*
"You're one of the youngest nerologists in the country and your crying over doing what you had to do to get where you wanted to be? The rest of the female population was doing laundry and popping out babies while you got through med school. If you're ashamed of that, then you don't deserved to be where you are."

Kristen diligently wiped away her hot tears, careful not to smear her mascara. Her sobs slowly subsided, although her breathing remained rather heavy and irregular.
She peered out at House through puffy, red eyes.
"Really?" Kristen hiccupped.

"No, I'm screwing around. I think you should go whip yourself in the back a few hundred times just so you can feel absolved of your utterly unforgiveable sins," *House said sarcastically.*

Kristen grinned, her vision blurred with still unshed tears. It was his... own unusual way of going about it, but House had meant to comfort her, she was sure.
"You suck," she said in an almost enthusiastic manner.

"I bite too," *he said flatly, trying not to sound like he cared at least a tiny bit.*

Kristen merely grinned, dabbing away the last of her tears.
"Of course you do."
Yes, it was terrible for House to have brought up the painful subject of her... past profession, but she knew there was no changing any of that. It had been Kristen who had decided to enter that business, and it had been Kristen who decided not to let herself be victimized by it.
