Frederick leaned his cane against the dresser and sat on the bed, tugging the poor thing close and petting him as he learned previously was a good soothing tactic. Gentle fingers combed through his hair, his brows knitting in worry at the slight tremble he felt running through him. He opened his mouth to speak, then closed it again, wondering why that was himself. "I.... don't know. It's just how they are, how they're taught I suppose," He said softly, wincing badly at the next boom of gunpowder and unneeded flame.

Chilton had been curled up, 'just dozing', very deeply buried into his bed despite it being late afternoon, intent on waking up to make dinner but instead woken up very harshly way before that. The cause? Neighbors deciding now was the time to set off fireworks for some god awful reason, putting Frederick on a razor edge as he sat up, frazzled and nerve-wracked before he got himself under control. It took longer than he would have liked to admit, but who needed to know that. After that though, and some wrangling of sheets, he realized two things. 1, there were fireworks because it was a holiday, and 2, Casey hadn't heard anything more than a firecracker before as far as he was aware. Oh. Oh! Fuck, where was he?? How did one even calm down a shark person? Guess he was gonna find out.... "Casey-? Casey, are you alright?" Chilton called, the click of his cane against the smooth marble floors the only other sound of his coming. [ @wannabepsychiatrist ]

“Freddie…?” Frederick hears a small whimper from Casey’s current room. If he catches it, there is another whimper from the room as another firework goes off. Frederick comes in to see Casey curled up on his bed, almost defensively, his eyes focused on the windows more than anything. Casey is shaking, thinking to himself wondering what all these big noises are. His hands ball up a bit, and his first question to you is simply

“Are you ok?” Hes so scared, yet you’re his first major concern.

"Hey- Hey.... It's alright, there's no danger, it's just loud-" Frederick said soothingly, padding in and going over to his bed immediately. He reached out, pausing and asking, "Can I touch you? Or would that be too much right now?" He.... didn't know how to feel about that, both very endeared and a little guilty at the question. "I'm okay, just a little startled, I promise. It's just fireworks, they can't hurt us, it's a.... celebratory thing for some people. We're safe, I swear Casey."

"Of course. It's the least I could do," Chilton said softly, readjusting both himself and his cane so they could lean on his desk and use two hands to pet and hold him. He should get him a drink before they left, so the taste wouldn't sour on the way back.... Oh- That wasn't what he was expecting, but it wasn't a terribly surprising noise either. It made sense, for Casey anyways. Cute- He resisted the distressing urge to 'aww' over him, instead repsoitioning his hands so he was more cupping his jaw. Chilton made sure there was plenty still pressed to what had been cool, and pet him in gentle skritching motions, like Casey was an overlarge cat he was rewarding for catching a mouse.

Out of curiosity, caspian lets a fire cracker go off right next to Frederick

Frederick startled badly, with a yelp like a dog's, having been absorbed in paperwork and not noticing the other come in and set off the firework, heart jumping to his throat and choking him. He looked, with wild eyes, over at Caspian, then to where the firecracker had been, thankfully put out for the moment. "Wha-?"

[wannabepsychiatrist]

"Mm.... Well, we can get you a better meal when we get home..." He really should have a different reaction to this, maybe worry for his safety, but..... Chances were, someone like Caspian was in no position to call the authorities, and he likely learned his lesson if Casey was any proof, so... Maybe he didn't care. Not about that anyways. Chilton was..... endeared, or so he'd call it. Fond even, if he were capable of such a thing. He'd never earned this before, someone's vulnerable moments caused by him, so this was new. Nice. "Oh? Do you like that?" His voice was filled with mirth, but not unkindness, genuine in its question. Soft perhaps.

welcome back, creature

".... Rude. I personally wouldn't call someone that, but you know."

[wannabepsychiatrist]

"Oh? Never before seen, feral child in fact missed the man who's walls he's been scrabbling in. I will say, your presence, or lack there of, has certainly been noticed. It's.... quiet."

OH MY GOD UR BACK

"Yes- I needed a spa day. Or... week. Month. Point was, I needed some time off. Why, did you miss me??"

[wannabepsychiatrist]

Hello, friend.

"Oh hello- I was wondering where you've been, it's quiet without you and your noisy sibling around. How are you?"

[wannabepsychiatrist]

He curled his hand, very very gently, fingertips petting the side of his neck cautiously. He felt like used sandpaper, not quite so harsh it hurt, but certainly very textured regardless. "Hm? I'm...... Better than I was before." Especially now that Casey was here, and safe than before. He shouldn't have sent him out...... It was nice though. He was very capable, very loyal. Chilton hadn't had that in a long time, maybe never.

Chilton was admittedly hesitant, but he didn't pull it away, wondering what the hell he was trying to do before figuring it out as a pale wrist pressed against the column of Casey's throat. Ah. "...... Is that any better?"

"Excuse me??? Firstly, it's entirely unprofessional to ruminate about someone's personal life, especially between two colleagues. And secondly, even if I have had intimate relations with Hannibal Lecter, which I haven't, chances would be I'd be rated much higher. A 9 in the very least, if not a 10 or surpassing."

hot take. hannibal and chilton fucked. and chilton thought he was the best piece of ass ever, and preens thinking about it when they’re in the same room (pre-chesapeake ripper) and hannibal marked it down in some ledger as a solid 4/10 and swiftly moved along.

[wannabepsychiatrist]

Himmmmm what's this?

"Nothing. I've never in my entire career done anything close to stalking."

[wannabepsychiatrist]

"Oh that's not bad, I can give you that. What's the occasion however...?"

HELLOOOOOOOOO

I’m here to bother you again, you’ve had peace for far too long.

"... I could argue I haven't had enough peace-"

"I- If you think so, but I'm genuinely not offended if that's what you're worried about."

Babe babe babe babe

What if I just… set this book on fire? I’m being forced to read the Epic of Gilgamesh and I hate it.

"..... maybe not- It's not a very good book honestly, so I feel your plight, but perhaps the risk of fire isn't worth it-"

[wannabepsychiatrist]

He shrugged, mouth pulling into a taut line. "It's fine."
