Sometimes, Chase gets tired of staying at the Nexus. It's nice, sure, but the opulence and the finery make him think of being at home in Melbourne with his father on the convention circuit, staying in fancy places while his Dad talked and talked and ignored his wife and son. The only downside to that is that Chase doesn't get to see Ben, but it's not his first long-distance relationship (if they were calling it a relationship, at this point).

It is his first trans-dimensional relationship, though.

Being home comes with good things and bad. It comes with his familiar life. It also comes with House. Today's been one of those days that House is driving him crazy and so Chase has picked up a few more clinic hours than usual, glancing at the next chart as he knocks on the patient's door. "Hi there," he says distractedly, staring down at the symptoms instead of the name. "My name's Dr. Chase, I'll be your consulting physician today."
