Leaning against the wall to the right of the door, Raelle merely listened to the hubbub. The clicking of the cane alerted her to House's approach before he ever breeched the door. She arched a brow at his words. Huhn. Another arrogant, petty, bad-with-people Earther doctor. What a surprise...
If there weren't so many strangers around her, she'd probably grin. As it is, the most hint she offers of her amusement is the slightest tightening to her eyes that adds a faint glint to their dark brown depths.

"Would it be helpful if Doctor McKay and I switched our priorities to fixing the transporter beam from the Dart? If these people are likely to provide a security risk—" and it seemed most everyone else thought they did— "they could be quite safely kept in the buffer for a time." She'd not want to keep them there indefinitely, mind, but it could be an interim solution.
