[ Raina lets out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. Useful, Will says. But what happens when the usefulness runs out? As the floral analogy once again came rearing its head, though, Raina smiles a little -- although its unseen. ]

Thank you.

[ It's soft and appreciative. Will can't ease Raina's fears and doubts completely, but this is at least better than being left to wonder and worry. ]

I was...

[ She trails off, tentative. Should she tell Will? Will who terminated his therapy sessions with Chilton, whose mind, Chilton claimed was poisoned by Crane. Was Will simply looking for a replacement Hannibal? From the way he talked, it seemed as though a hole was missing out of his life -- the cannibal had eaten away at Will far deeper than simply eating his flesh, perhaps leaving Will to find something to fill it.

But then again, it was fairly obvious that something had attacked Raina's mind. And that something wasn't simply some mental ailment or premonition gone wrong. ]

This was an attack. A deliberate attack on me, Will. I believe Frederick to be the central piece and those surrounding him will become targets as well. So please, exercise caution. For both yourself and those close to you.

[He's silent, completely, though Raina's bound to pick up a dog barking in the distance. Not a warning or fear, just general dog barking. Life goes on.

Chilton had given him the go ahead to discuss with April, if Will was deemed important enough to discuss elsewhere, he imagined Raina already knew. So any mention of how Will worked with law enforcement, she could give him a name, she could snap her fingers and point him in the right direction and he could make a few calls, Will would put his nose to the dirt, she just had to say the words...wouldn't be difficult. And considering it feels like this won't be going anywhere else in the first place, all the more inviting. Because either she'll say no for lies or unspoken reasons, or it'll seem important enough to report back. Perhaps Raina feels little guilt over having a conversation behind her significant other's back (and really, Will wouldn't have any guilt about this sort of thing himself), but if he even starts hinting that he might be moving against Chilton, sincerely, playing his own game within a bigger game...spurring on fears and doubts instead of easing them, how would she handle that?

But there are just certain things that aren't to be done to people who clearly have had their mind recently scrambled. Will never appreciated it being done to him, and Raina isn't standing in his way here. There's no reason to do it or even think about it other than curiosity and having had a cannibal eat away at him. Which he's thinking of more than just the conversation. If Crane made Chilton see Hannibal, is it possible that Crane somehow made Raina see this vision of Hannibal, too? Did Crane get them both? Could he make it so Will also saw Hannibal? It's been so long since he's seen Hannibal in anything but dream or hallucination...]

You're welcome, and thank you for the warning. [Honestly a nice change of pace from people surrounding Will being targets, this is sort of refreshing.] If you have any other questions about Doctor Lecter or Baltimore that Frederick isn't forthcoming with, you're free to ask. Hell, anything I can personally help with, let me know, too. And hopefully you do more than recover from this attack.

[Not strike back, nah. Grow. The aim of all things that live and move through good and bad.]
