What are you looking for, Lilly?

[fuckingwolverine]

Mama.

[Always here with the predictable answers.]

Victoria?

[This guy kind of reminds her of some of the people she'd stayed with when they'd first been taken out of the woods, so maybe he knows where Victoria is. She even clarifies:]

Sssister.

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

[ Will wasn't making any move to interrupt, for the moment at least, but he was following this, very curiously! ]

[tablewithoutpity]

[Want to share another surrogate daughter, Will?]

[ex_this_ismydesign36]

[ We kind of flunked the sugar baby test with the last one, Hannibal.

She is adorably feral though. ]

[tablewithoutpity]

I don't think they're here, Lilly. I'm afraid you've been brought to a placd that might be quite far away from where you're from.

[fuckingwolverine]

[It's okay, she's used to that. At least this place is more familiar to her than the house she'd lived in with Lucas and Annabel.

Too bad it's so cold, though.]

Mama comes.

[She sounds pretty sure of this.]

[tablewithoutpity]

Perhaps she will.

Until then, however, you need to stay safe and warm. Are you indoors?

[fuckingwolverine]

[She nods, and pulls her pink Norfinbury-issue coat more tightly around herself.]

[tablewithoutpity]

Can you tell me something about the room you are in? Something you see?

[fuckingwolverine]

[She grunts. She knows what you're doing, buddy.]

No. Stay.

[Stay where you are, and don't try to come take her.]

[tablewithoutpity]

All right.

[Hannibal isn't one to push, but to persuade. And persuasion takes time.]

May I call to check on you?

[fuckingwolverine]

[She nods at that, but it's a little wary. Just to make sure she's completely clear, she'll reiterate:]

Stay.

[tablewithoutpity]

[He nods.]

Stay.

My name is Hannibal. If you ever need me, call.

Be safe, Lilly.

[fuckingwolverine]

Doctor?

[It's a total guess - he talks like the doctors she's met, that's all.]

[tablewithoutpity]

[Again that gentle smile.]

Yes.

Do you know a lot of doctors, Lilly?

[fuckingwolverine]

[She shrugs. Some.]

Doctors talk, talk, talk.

[tablewithoutpity]

Some doctors. I'm a doctor who listens to you talk.

[fuckingwolverine]

No.

[She curls her arms around her skinny little knees. Can't listen if she won't talk.]

[tablewithoutpity]

Do you talk to your sister and your mother?

[fuckingwolverine]

[Another shake of the head. Not usually, anyway.]

[tablewithoutpity]

I see.

Sometimes the best way to be with those we love is in silence. The heart speaks louder than the tongue.

[fuckingwolverine]

[She nods, hard and enthusiastically. That she can definitely agree with.]

Heawt.

[She taps a finger against her own chest - on the wrong side, but.]

[tablewithoutpity]

[He smiles, and taps his own chest, in the right place.]

Protect that heart, Lilly.
