*Hannibal smiled slightly.*
“If she’s no longer concerned about it, I am sure it is no matter. I won’t waste your time in the details.”

*Crane lifted one eyebrow, intruiged*
"Oh really? She'll be happy to hear that. I am a bit curious myself, but I'm not one to pry."

*Hannibal smiled.*
“Curiosity is one of the risks of our profession, is it not?”
*He sighed lightly.*
“If you are busy, I can leave you be.”

*Hannibal nodded in gratitude and sat.*
“Thank you. I was merely following up. She seemed…most distressed. At least that is the impression I got when we last spoke.”

*Crane nodded slightly*
"Yes. She said that she was in the...service of this man, and that he would make her life extremely unpleasent if she attempted to leave this service."

*He shook his head, and leaned back casually*
"I wouldn't have put it quite that way."

*Crane was about to respond, when he noticed the gleam in Hannibal's eye. He couldn't help smiling, himself.*
"You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

*Hannibal looked slightly surprised by the comment, but cool over all.*
“Sir, I always enjoy conversations with colleagues in the field. Are you not enjoying it? I can leave.”
*He hadn’t missed the part where Crane didn’t answer the question.*

"I suppose I am."
Why bother stalling?
"She is a courtesan attempting to leave her profession behind her. However, her life was threatened by Mr. Caine should she attempt to do so. Is that clear enough."
*His response had no malice in it, as calm as he always was.*

*Hannibal’s lashes lowered for a moment in acknowledgment.*
“It’s quite helpful. Thank you. It certainly would explain some things…like her desperation.”

"You say she should no longer worry. That's always good news."
*He looked him in the eye, unblinking*
"Mysterious, but good nonetheless."
