"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]

And what am I to do if I think they're manipulating you somehow?

[inmyothertights]

Well, I mean-

This is all hypothetical, because Kate would never do it and wouldn't let Loki do it, either, but if that were the case, probably call the Avengers.

[slightlyoffchilt]

The Avengers. To include Tony Stark?

[inmyothertights]

I assume if he says "we should kill Billy Kaplan" you'll let me know in advance.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I wouldn't let him hurt you. He's hurt enough people.

[inmyothertights]

Yeah he's a pretty stellar human being.

[slightlyoffchilt]

But as you said, it's only a hypothetical. The likelihood of involving the likes of Tony Stark is remarkably small. I would rather focus more on your personal development.

[inmyothertights]

I hope you weren't too bored without me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I had -- [a huge mess of personal drama and departure] things to occupy me. I'm down one of my favorite patients, however.

[inmyothertights]

I'm just glad that when I go near you an interdimensional parasite doesn't attach itself to you and try to kill me.

[slightlyoffchilt]

That's both unappetizing and horrifying.

[inmyothertights]

Welcome to the last year of my life.

[slightlyoffchilt]

The traumatic details deserves a session of its own, I do not doubt.

[inmyothertights]

The past year probably deserves a whole month of sessions on its own.

[slightlyoffchilt]

I'm glad that you've managed to survive it, then. That's a starting point.

[inmyothertights]

Thanks.

[slightlyoffchilt]

You're an important individual, Billy.

[inmyothertights]

Because I'm the demiurge?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Because you're my patient.

[inmyothertights]

Well, that's definitely better as an answer than "because you're the demiurge"

[slightlyoffchilt]

But not an answer you're satisfied with?

[inmyothertights]

Hey, no, it's a great answer!

[slightlyoffchilt]

I would say friend, Billy, but that's tricky territory.

[inmyothertights]

Is it because I pay you in money or because you and Kate still don't get along?

[slightlyoffchilt]

Legally, psychiatrists aren't friends with their patients. They can be friendly. They can't do hobbies together.

But one might argue that the typified legal definitions are limited in their dimensional encompassing.
