"Can you take a guess?"
*He leaned back in his seat*
"Such an astute observer of human nature should have interesting speculation..."

*Hannibal's eyes narrowed a moment, but what harm could there be in such amusement? Perhaps he might even get the man to relax enough to get something off his chest. He shrugged casually.*
"Well, one could start with those that are common in our profession. Loss of control...your emotions getting in the way of your rationality..."

"Common in our profession...are these ones you have?"

*Hannibal clucked his tongue disapprovingly.*
"Now, Doctor...I thought we were talking about you. Or was I starting to tread unwelcomingly?"

"Just curious. Proceed as you will."

*With a small smile, Hannibal settled more firmly in his chair, leaning closer and taking the man in.*
"I would think that there is something rooted deeper, something in fear itself. Something perhaps from your childhood or early adolescence. Something that you're compensating for...but something you didn't expect."

"Would you care to elaborate?"
*He had raised his eyebrow*

*Hannibal stared at the man coolly for a moment, unsure if he wanted to continue, to see where this might go. But he was a curious fellow at his very core.*
"Well, I can only assume, but...you spent so much time alone. Books your only companions. You were ignored. On the good days. And the bad, well...tormented by peers, chided and mocked."

*Crane nodded*
"It's not an unusual case. Intelligence is not something highly valued among the schoolyard."

*Hannibal nodded slightly.*
"That's true, and yet you made it your business to be intelligent, to be...superior. You need that. To be in control. It's what has you so unhappy at the moment, not being the one in control of certain aspects in your life. And so you feel the need to take things into your own hands."

"My own hands?"
*He looked at them quizzically*
"What would you sugest I do with them?"

*Hannibal lifted his hands slightly.*
"Me? Nothing. I assume you already have some most intriguing pet project on your mind."
*He arched his brow.*
"Or don't you?"

*He thought of Pestilence*
"Perhaps."
*He leaned back in his seat*
"What of you and your interests?"

"Of my interests?"
*Hannibal met his eyes calmly, the faintest smile in his lips.*
"Oh, they are here and there, but at the moment...I find you most intriguing."
I had never really stopped to think about it. Not until now.

"Me?"
*He laughed*
"Well, I'm flattered by that. Especially at a time like this. A man like you must have come across many interesting specimens in your time."
