"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."

[slightlyoffchilt]

Try to watch your mouth, when you make your way here. I hope that isn't asking too much.

[mantlepieces]

Whatever that means -- yeah, I think I'll be fine.

[ It'll be about fifteen more minutes, but Reggie will show up rather than ditching the "appointment" -- that probably would seem more telling than not, Reggie doesn't think it'd be worth it. So, after standing outside Chilton's office door for several long moments still trying not to talk himself out of it, he knocks. ]

[kingpawn]

[ Oh. Now. That's too far. ]

I tried to save him. I did my damnedest. And when I couldn't, I killed all the guys responsible for it as my final act. It might be more than I'd do for you.

[ A lie. Walt would do everything in his power to save Chilton, too. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, I hadn't known that you created a hierarchy for family benefits.

[An attempt to call bluff that lie.]

[kingpawn]

You know what? Forget I said anything, asshole.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I didn't mean to hurt your feelings. [Another lie.] Whatever will it take for you to forgive me?

[kingpawn]

When Hannibal eats you, I hope he starts with your tongue.

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, that is -- [Flustered, Chilton stumbles.] That is really quite mean. That's a truly acidic thing to say.

[kingpawn]

You started it. Bringing up Hank and all. What were you thinking?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Consider it a reaction born from the underlining, overwhelming fear that Hannibal Lecter inspires.

[kingpawn]

Or just you being an asshole. Really.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You enjoy the excuse to verbally backhand me, regardless. Why are you complaining?

[kingpawn]

Contrary to what you believe, I do prefer it when we're getting along.

[ For the most part. Sometimes. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

"Getting along" doesn't imply compliance, you know. At least -- not on my end of things.

[kingpawn]

It implies you being less of a dick when I'm being honest with you. I mean, do you even appreciate anything?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I do, yes, but you make it difficult when you so baldly crave admiration and recognition for your act of being a decent human being.

And by act, I do mean charade.

[kingpawn]

Are you trying to claim my feelings aren't legitimate?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Oh, no. I'm claiming that the circumstance you construct around them is not legitimate.

Your feelings are incredibly honest.

[kingpawn]

I'm starting to question the legitimacy of your psychiatry if that is the asinine conclusion you've drawn.

[abduxel]

as long as it looks like the real thing. it's got to be as authentic as possible. preferably, it should even have some kind of footage on it.

[Reading between the lines: so that the deal is technically fulfilled, because of how vaguely Reggie worded the request.

He doesn't address the dangerous deal. Tellingly.]

[slightlyoffchilt]

My practice, or my mental state?

[kingpawn]

Your methods, thoughts, and conclusions. When it comes to me.

I'm sure you're fine when it comes to other people.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I do not have any gay pornography on hand. If you would be so kind to provide, then fine.

Otherwise it'll be whatever I no longer need.

[abduxel]

why don't you and i just make some of our own, then, hm?

[slightlyoffchilt]

But you are special?
