"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."

[ No no no no no, one does not make threatening suggestions about his own family (he can only guess the 'unsavory individual' might be Pinkman), then openly threaten his career practically on his own doorstep and expect no retaliation. Not after he just returned from suspension, not after his brother-in-law's already been through his own version of Hell and back. He'd wanted it to be civil. Hank had been ready to try and explain a little, hoping to display Walt in a more sympathetic light, but red is all he can see at the moment. He can't even ask for more details on what the hell Chilton means, though he wants to.

The ground beneath them both actually tremors as he curls his free hand into a fist, and there's no attempt at a bluff here. Hank isn't trying to peacock, he's keeping himself from striking this fucker down here and now for threatening both his and Walt's reputation, and more. If he's trying to strike a nerve, he's succeeded, but it's not something Hank's going to forget. Any retaliation can't come now, which is clear enough by how he steps back, watching Chilton with a hooded glare, the same way he'd watch any criminal. ]

No. I like us all getting along. Have a nice day, Doc.

[He couldn't help but react to the tremors -- a quick glance down and around, and he was scoping to see what else could be affected by this unseasonal and unlikely minor quake. The impact seemed rather... Contained. That was all the more unnerving, as it whispered the girth of Schrader's possible power.

Chilton pulled up his shoulders, ignoring the coffee lick that had jumped from his cup and onto his fingers. This family proved to clench complications like a spider over prey.]

I have little doubt that we will meet again.

[ Hank would like nothing more than to never see this guy again, and his expression is crystal clear despite how polite he's trying to be. He's dealt with worse stress from much more important people and he's held his own, not that this guy's worth that much effort. Pinkman may have a special effect on him losing his cool, but that was incredibly personal. Chilton really doesn't want it to become personal, but then, most people tend to underestimate Hank's tenacity, and his memory. ]

Definitely won't forget the name.

[ Or the face. And even if it hadn't been intentional the first time, after he walks past Chilton and is back on the steps, the ground jerks again beneath the other man very intentionally. It's a shorter disturbance than the first, but much more jarring, definitely enough to spill most of Chilton's coffee or even make him lose the cup all-together.

Free coffee is for non-assholes. It's the least he can get way with without being charged of anything, and still retain a sense of pride after Chilton got away with acting like such a pissant. ]
