Hannibal was woken up by a seires of knock on his door. Not that hannibal slept late but it was also too early for him too.
Grmnling and annoyed he fastened his his bathrobe and head to the door wordless. When he opended the door hiding his rising annoyance he was greeted by Will Graham on his doorstep.
Looking anxious and unsure if he was wlecome .
Hannibal cursed inward for wearing his normal robes instead of his beautiful solk one .
"Although I may be, is it safe to assume you're not sleepwalking now? " hannibal asked teasingly as he tried to comb down his bed hair un noticed
"I'm sorry it's so early. " Will said in a small voice clearly guilty
"Never apologize for coming to me. Office hours are for patients. My kitchen is always open to friends. " hannibal said handing Will a cup of coffee.
"Sleepwalking in adulthood is less common than in children. " hannibal analysed as Will sipped his drink
"Could it be a seizure? " Will asked some what hopeful.
"I'd argue good old-fashioned post traumatic stress. Jack Crawford has gotten your hands very dirty. " hannibal said
"Wasn't forced back into the field. " Will argued back
"I wouldn't say forced. Manipulated would be the word I'd choose." Hannibal sneered
" I can handle it. "
Hannibal thought as he spoken softer
"Somewhere between denying horrible events and calling them out lies the truth of psychological trauma. "
"So I can't handle it? "
"Sleepwalkers demonstrate a difficulty handling aggression. Are you experiencing difficulty with aggressive feelings? "
"You said Jack sees me as fine china used for special guests. Beginning to feel more like an old mug. "
"You entered into a Devil's Bargain with Jack Crawford. Takes a toll. " hannibal said slowly trying to manipulate the situation
" Jack's not the devil. "
"When it comes to how far he's willing to push you to get what he wants, Jack's certainly no saint." Hannibal said sowing the seed of doubt and mistrust
He only wanted Will to trust him.
He only wanted Will to consider him as his safety.
His saving grace.

The next appointment Will came back even more tired and weary. The new case of The Angel Maker was fascinating.
"Maybe I'm wrong. How do you profile someone who has an anomaly in their head changing the way they think?" Will said As Hannibal approached him.
"A tumor can definitely affect brain function, even causing vivid hallucinations. However, what appears to be driving your Angel Maker to create heaven on Earth is a simple issue of mortality." Hannibal said
Will chuckled"Can't beat God, become one ?.........He feels abandoned."
"Ever feel abandoned, Will?" Hannibal asked
"Abandonment requires expectation." Will spitted out
"What were your expectations of Jack Crawford and the F.B.I.?" Hannibal asked cautiously
Will frowned
"Jack hasn't abandoned me."
"Not in any discernible way. Perhaps in the way Gods abandon their creations."
