[Ah, but Freddie is biased. Freddie is very, very biased. It's not too much of a risky thing if he looks at it that way, is it? Will certainly doesn't find it a bad thing, won't make a move to protest. There are worse things to suggest and encourage other than attempted discussion with Abel Gideon, other than not listening to everything Freddie Lounds might or might not say about the Baltimore crowd.
Sometimes it pays not to listen; you go, Clark.
Has it really been a pleasure? Has it really??? Arguing otherwise would only work against him rather than for him. Clark might be doing nothing other than being polite with that one, and who is he to discourage politeness? Rudeness...that's simply not to be tolerated. Now what would Hannibal say?
Wait no.]
You're welcome, Clark, and nothing to apologize for. [Less Hannibal, still polite, usage of first name, permission to use Will, please call him Will. A+, he deserves whiskey.] Good luck with finding what you need, too.
[Ugh he can't hang up with that one why can't he just hang up on that why is it so difficult to just say goodbye, he hasn't—oh God, it's the most wonderful time of the year for ending uncomfortable conversations without being completely awkward, isn't it? IT IS.]
Happy holidays.
[NAILED IT? MAYBE. Maybe he nailed it, but either way: that's all there is to it, click, goodbye, not telling Freddie Lounds shit.]
