"Hello.

You've reached the direct line of Doctor Frederick Chilton. As I am not available at the moment, you might assume I'm quite busy with something pressing. State your name and business, and I will return your call."

[ Walt was a little disappointed when Chilton refused his offer to come to him, and the weight of his pause was indicative of that. ]

This doesn't end as a tragedy, though. The story is going to be different this time. This time, we both accomplish the things we want -- and nothing stands in our way.

Definitely not some weird cannibal from your home world at least.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm glad that you called. There was a time -- [Well. No one had called after Gideon disemboweled him, had they? No one had visited. No one would, when he was shot in the face by a brainwashed Miriam Lass.]

... Anyway. I am comforted by the fact.

[kingpawn]

It was the least I could do.

[ And it felt like the least he was allowed to do. Sitting and waiting wasn't a strategy Walt enjoyed employing. ]

I'll send you a fruit basket or something.

[slightlyoffchilt]

A fruit basket. Because I'm vegan, or are you insinuating something else?

[slightlyoffchilt]

In all honestly? I usually am.

[kingpawn]

What is there to insinuate?

[ When Walt pretty much knew the truth -- would have been the next part of that statement. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

[There's a beat on Chilton's end -- the moment spent sulking, of course.]

You better include papaya.

I think you like it that way

okay, let me rephrase

what do you need me for?

text

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm worried for you. And Reggie. Concerned. I need you both to play this carefully.

text

[abduxel]

worried for ME?

well, that's cute, you're going to make me blush.

[kingpawn]

Are you normally this demanding with your gifts? Or is this just the special treatment I get for buying you a lot of things?

text

[slightlyoffchilt]

At least we know where the bloodflow is going.

text

[abduxel]

going to waste, if you ask me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You will always get special treatment, Walt. It's what you deserve.

[kingpawn]

I like how quickly you turned that around. Good one, Chilton.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Part of my charm. [A beat.] You won't instigate anything with Lecter, will you?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Better that it continues to flow within your circulatory system, at least.

Hence my concern.

[abduxel]

what can he do?

call;

[textualhealing]

Captain Planet offends you?

call;

[slightlyoffchilt]

This is not a circumstance that beckons cartoon allusions.

[kingpawn]

I'm not going to promise that I won't at least talk to him.

[ Which was perhaps a little indicative that Walt had at least answered Hannibal's cattle call for Will. ]

[textualhealing]

And raccoons. I mean defense lawyers and raccoons do share some similarities tho. Probably why we all get on.

call;

[textualhealing]

[Chilton is speaking to the guy who mentally animated an accidental overdose.]

Might lighten the mood if we did.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Just don't bait him. And do not get baited by him.

I think you can manage that.

[slightlyoffchilt]

He is a master manipulator.




Do not take that as a challenge. I mean it.
