House hadn't been expecting the questions Megan asked, either. If she'd been trying to get him to snap to attention, she succeeded. They were the sorts of questions that made him want to squirm but he still couldn't help being very attentive as to what Cuddy had to say.
He glanced between Megan and Cuddy while Cuddy took a moment to form her answer, then snorted quietly when she said he was a pain in her ass. Well, he'd always known that. She could be a gigantic pain in his ass, too. Frustrating and stubborn and way too headstrong sometimes.
Megan nodded, listening but also agreeing with what Cuddy said about House being frustrating. It didn't affect her in the way it probably did Cuddy - it was her job to help get him on the road to recovery but ultimately, that road he took was up to him to walk on. If he didn't want to do the therapy, if he was determined to sabotage it and himself, there was little she could do except try and talk him through it.
She turned her gaze to House to watch his reaction once Cuddy had finished talking. He was looking at Cuddy, a more thoughtful expression on his face than he'd had a few moments ago. She returned her attention to Cuddy. "It's good to hear your thoughts on him. Hearing a partner's view on how they see their partner is always helpful for me as a therapist, as it paints a bit more of a rounded picture of who Greg is besides what he lets me see in therapy."
She would turn her focus back on Greg soon but for now she was interested in what Cuddy had to say, and also had hope that engaging Cuddy in open discussion might coax House into opening up, too. She uncrossed her legs and crossed them again the other way, and settled her hands on her lap. "So, you've told me a bit about who Greg is to you, what you see in him and you mentioned that Greg is his own worst enemy."
She paused to work out how to properly phrase the question. "What would you like to see Greg get out of therapy and being in Mayfield? What are some of the things that concern you about him as his partner?"
