Cryptic

Words are for keeping the distance, as is silence. When he speaks, he speaks in distractions, evasions, feints. He's a master at this game, skillful even when at his most honest and sincere. In fact, especially then.

Actions, now, actions can bring you closer, but they don't close the distance, they just make it possible to see across it, for a short time. They know this now; they have learnt to watch as much as they listen.

Wilson knows, though, that if actions speak, then speaking is also an action. That's why for him, sometimes, there's no distance at all.

Oh, that gave me a shiver of pleasure right down my spine. The payoff line really rocks.

Oh, brilliant!
This just perfectly sums up his friendship with House.
Amazingly done especially with only 100 words.

Oh, that's wonderful!

And here I was, thinking I was the only Swedish House/Wilson fan.
