That wasn't all he'd noticed, but what he was really following House for was another chance at the kid's file. "What kind of history did your new minions get?" he asked, feeling a hint of amusement that he wasn't on the hook for lab tests and talking with the family. "If he's had recent trouble in school, that could mean lack of attention. Not just from the hearing loss."
By the time they'd gotten back to the office, he was confident he'd worked out a diagnosis. It was a viable idea, anyway. "Lupus is a boring theory," he said, smirking at House's scowl. "Were you being nice to them? Letting them test for the first thing they thought of?"
One look at the whiteboard only confirmed what he'd thought so far. "It's Schilder's disease," he said, and held out his hand for House to give him the dry-erase marker.
