UN: MONGOOSE | VOICE

[this_ismydesign]

[ 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.

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?

[ Father Vincent knew all the leading questions to make a suspect feel comfortable talking. Will gave him top marks on that score.

The 'forgiveness', the 'I'm here to support you', everything designed to help Will feel safe unburdening himself. Unfortunately the man was using classic interrogation techniques against a man who taught those very techniques to baby feebs. ]

It is not my place to speculate on such matters. That would be between Dr. Lecter and those who have a grievance against him.

[banworthy]

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?

[this_ismydesign]

Probably a wise idea. [ Nothing personal Father Vincent, but Will's reached and surpassed his tolerance for people like Vincent, Hannibal, Alana, Jack Crawford, etc, 'defending' him.

It always comes at a price. ]

Now. If there is nothing else, I will let you get back to your business.

[ Hey. This is progress believe it or not. Usually he just hangs up the phone. ]

[banworthy]

And you, as well.

[ Hm. ]

Take care of yourself, Will.

[this_ismydesign]

Likewise, Father.

[ How many monsters had Echo dragged into this little experiment??? Will was starting to feel like he needed to start a bingo card. ]
