UN: MONGOOSE | VOICE

[ This is Will Graham we're talking about. This is going to be short and to the point. ]

It would appear that Dr. Lecter is no longer a resident of this reality. [ Will's voice is perfectly neutral, giving no indication as to how he feels about these events. There is so much Will would like to say, but he hasn't entirely lost hope that Hannibal might yet find his way back. As such, he is not inclined to speak to the good doctor's ... activities. At least, not over an open network. ]

If you were utilizing his professional services, I shall do you the favor and not offer to continue his practice.

Though I shall be remaining in what has been his home.

[ Well ... okay, one vague comment. ]

For anyone wondering; In addition to not offering psychiatric services, I also do not host dinner parties.

Friends? No, I don't think that we were friends or knew each other as well as I hoped.

[ A real pity that, but what can he do? ]

Do you feel like you knew Dr. Lecter well?

[ A pause and the feeling of a warm smile. ] Sorry. My name. It's Vincent. Father Vincent. Regardless of where I am, I am still a priest. And... you are?

Before things got out, I did hear glowing reports about him from others. So I can hopefully assume he was a good doctor to you.

[ If not... how fascinating. ]

Pleasure, Mister Graham. Unless you'd be fine with me calling you 'Will.'

[ Tries not to click his tongue too loudly at not hearing how his patients were treated. ]

A pleasure, Will.

I understand, at least, that you feel close enough to want to preserve his home. I hope you don't feel as though we're trampling too much on those feelings. [ A warm smile wraps itself around his words as comfortably as hands around the neck. ] It may be my own philosophy as a priest, but it isn't up to me to judge him.

So, you also don't need to feel judged in anything with me, all right?

Being judged by others can feel quite heavy. I'd hate for you to be under that weight.

[ ANYWAY! ]

Do you think it's balancing the scales? What would that even look like?

True enough.

Well, if any of them both you, at least know you have someone who will defend you a little bit. [ A beat. ] I won't say I don't have my own reasons for doing so for a stranger, but ... we'll leave at that for now, hm?

And you, as well.

[ Hm. ]

Take care of yourself, Will.
