[Anyone passing by Hook, Line, & Tinker is in for a rare treat, because he does, in fact, laugh at this message.]
All conversations remain confidential unless a good reason crops up. I cannot think of a single good reason to share with anyone that you and I talked about Freddie Lounds like those old biddies who were upset about the librarian with her dirty books and brazen overtures to old miser Madison.
[Cheep cheep cheep, talk a lot, pick a little more. They're being gossipy shits at the moment and he can't be bothered to pretend otherwise. Why not make it obvious?]
We were discussing ways to keep focus on me out of Tattlecrime in order to get it away from the homage that it had become. Gideon's the obvious target after me, isn't he? To quote an older article: "Aside from noted cases of import mischief, assault, and possession performed by people such as Lucifer and the mysterious Manipulator, sources say that the Porter has brought in multiple cannibals, potential psychopaths and confirmed killers--one of which has attacked an upstanding member of the import community at least twice." Are you telling me she did you a solid and you haven't already started playing ball with Freddie Lounds?
I don't know how he's behaving. I only go by most houses in Heropa, not in them. I shot him in the head. I assumed it would be best to keep my distance unless something necessary came up. Do you think I should check in with Gideon?
[He is sidestepping that last part as best he can. A lot of responses come to mind, ranging from Isn't it amazing what a good psychiatrist can do with other people's patients, just by their mere presence? to Stop saying "you know" knowing I don't know. But they all drive the conversation further along the line of Hannibal Lecter and who he really is, and that?
That's a little too direct. Better to volley it back, for Will Graham to ask—with what could be read as sincerity—for Chilton's opinion.]
