"Friends? I don't think either of us have many of those, but perhaps the term will suffice."
*He smiled*
"Though, from what I hear, your popularity has increased. Rumor has it that you have been lending your aid to a man who, not being with the police, cannot even offer you any deals in return. I hadn't known you to be such a philanthropist."
*He looked as if he was considering something*
"Or perhaps there was a deal involved. But not one that he would have cared to let the law know about."

*Hannibal's brow furrowed a bit, trying to take his meaning, but then realization struck.*
"Ah, yes...well, she is quite lovely. And unlike sweet Sylvia, seems to be, at the moment at least, unattached."
*He looked hard at Crane.*
"Or are you just disappointed that he didn't come to you? After all, you would have more recent information about the situation than I."

Perhaps I am involved in the situation. In a plan there's no way in hell I'm ever telling you about.
"My intereset in being questioned by the general population is just about as low as yours. Which leads back to my question of why you allowed it."

*Hannibal shrugged slightly.*
"Perhaps I was merely bored. After all...I haven't had many visitors. Maybe I was just looking for a way to reach reach out and connect with my fellow man."
*He offered the faintest grin.*
"I don't see why you are so interested in who I keep company with. Unless you were looking to make a deal of your own. Come along, Doctor...what is it that you really want from me?"

"A deal?"
*He shook his head*
"What motivates me is the same thing that I believe struck you. Curiosity."

*Hannibal nodded approvingly.*
"So...you're here to test me, but you already know that I'll decline. And your curious about my company, but purely intellectually. And you have some vague interest in my predilection for federal agents. Did I miss anything? Perhaps then you might explain what it is that I can do for you."

"What you can do for me?"
*He paused*
"You can tell me whether or not you want me to report you as insane and unfit to stand trial."

*Hannibal looked very thoughtful.*
"Well...I doubt there is a jury anywhere that wouldn't find me insane, but that means endless days of tedium for both of us, doesn't it?"
*He pursed his lips before nodding.*
"I would offer you...well..."
*He glanced once more to the empty hall next to Crane.*
"Well, if you are no longer keeping the company of your lady, I don't know how useful the information I might have concerning her...darker half and her gentleman will prove. Perhaps there is a new interest that you have that I might help with?"

*Crane's voice became ever so slightly quieter*
"I would appreciate any information you had on him."
*He hated being dependent on this man- but then, Hannibal needed him as well. Despite what he said, it was no talways easy to get an insanity verdict, especially if the examiner said that he was faking*

*Hannibal looked at him with a deadpan espression.*
"And I would appreciate talking about it in a more hospitable environment. Perhaps we can come to some form of arrangement?"

"That is possible. Somewhere quieter, with a view and a vibrating magic fingers bed?"

((*tee hee*))
*Hannibal smiled with a slow nod of mutual understanding.*
"Something like that. How long would it take to arrange it?"

"That depends. But I think I could arrange it...say, in a week."

*Hannibal nodded once more approvingly.*
"I hope that she can wait that long."
*He dismissed the thought.*
"She's feisty, I'm sure that she'll be fine."

*Crane's voice was utterly emotionless*
"Of course."
*He picked up his briefcase*
"Thank you for your time."
