"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."

Comments

[kanadian]

Oh. I'm sorry.

I guess that settles it, then. Vegan it is. [ Have you ever met someone who ate five pounds of salad in one sitting? It's going to happen. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Do you still not know who this is?

[kanadian]

No? I don't think I know any Vegans...

[slightlyoffchilt]

Your psychiatrist, for one.

[kanadian]

DOCTOR CHILTON?

[ If text sounded more like a screech... ]

I'm so, so sorry...I didn't realize I'd gotten your number.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I hope this doesn't mean you've retracted the offer?

[kanadian]

I already...I already offered it. I'm not going to take that back on you, Doctor.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You always were a gentleman.

[kanadian]

Well, uh, I don't know about that. I'll be happy to foot the bill for your dinner though. We haven't talked in a while anyway.

[askedtobe]

I think Sylar's gone.

[ He speaks. ]

[slightlyoffchilt]

Is this dinner date to serve as a session? Or do you mean talk in a social sense?

[kanadian]

Uh social? I'm pretty sure sessions need confidentiality, right?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Usually, yes.

Social it is, how lovely.

[kanadian]

Promise, I won't be bad company. I'll even fight off being cranky with so little protein.

[slightlyoffchilt]

[He wouldn't shed any tears, that is for certain.]

It would probably be better if you were in attendance, yes. My clients are rarely so young.

[In fact, children were not his forte whatsoever. It might serve him better to have another responsible adult handy, for translation reasons.]

Is Carl himself comfortable with that?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Qualifications that become highly desirable, given the circumstance you've described.

[It sounded nothing short of apocalyptic, as far as Chilton was concerned. What appeared to be in the wait for Kitty Jones's world was a mass slaughtering -- a (probably continued) mass upheaval of the status quo. Little wonder why her anxiety over the matter manifested; while overtly she seemed concerned about her competence and capability, Chilton wondered if internally she was beginning to question that survivalistic skill set that earned her the crown to start with.

Or perhaps that was another concern entirely.]

Your handle on magic -- do others fear it? [Would that alone be able to stave off would-be political assassins? Kitty can't be the only one unhappy about her ascension.] You must feel confident about your abilities?

[slightlyoffchilt]

I return to my prior comment about your gentlemanly nature.

What time?

[slightlyoffchilt]

[Well. That either removes a nail, or adds it to the coffin.]

Are you relieved?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Not sure if I believe you. [Apparently Chilton's textual impression of Will involves dropping a lot of the identity indicators -- like "I'm".]

Did you hear that?

[textualhealing]

[Flawless.]

What?

[askedtobe]

I probably should be.

[kanadian]

Sometime next week, maybe? Around eight?

[rathercommon]

[ She shakes her head at once. ]

No. Magic's not something I'm ever going to use. It works differently in my world from how it does here - it involves enslaving spirits, and that's not something I'm willing to do. Not ever. I only learned it in the first place so I could gain the ability to talk to a spirit.

[ But...Her brows furrow slightly. She looks at Chilton. ]

Why do you ask?

[slightlyoffchilt]

No, Reggie. No, that isn't the face value of what you crave. You want a bandage of solution.

[His voice took a sharper edge, as if cut with granite.]

You want an easy solution, because a thorough examination causes you anxiety. But why would that be, I wonder? What are you afraid of?

[slightlyoffchilt]

But you're not. And that must concern you.

Is it because of what he represented to you, or because you're not controlling him right now? Or a bit of both?
