"Good, we'll have to practice. I'll teach you how to call someone a big purple hippo without them even knowing it," she agreed, smoothing her free hand over Del's hair. "First we have to start with the big and then the purple, and then we'll go for the hippo. Not now, though. Now you should let me sign while Dr. Chase takes care of you and makes sure your stuffing's in the right place."

She'd never really interacted with Dr. Chase outside of a 'hi how are you' or two but she wasn't really surprised to see that he was fast and good at his job. Hadn't he been associated with Dr. House? House didn't suffer fools gladly...or really at all.
