⠀ ⠀⠀[ He gets there a lot sooner, ⠀⠀already in pyjamas . Will ⠀⠀had lazily thrown on a jacket ⠀⠀and some shoes, waiting ⠀⠀for @legionarys.bsky.social to ⠀⠀arrive . ] ⠀⠀What could be this urgent at ⠀⠀2am .... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I will get ready . Meet me ⠀⠀there in ten minutes . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... Is it that urgent .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀What can I help you with .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... Very interesting topic . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I teach forensics . You ⠀⠀wouldn't be attending at the ⠀⠀academy ... But rather a ⠀⠀small get together with some ⠀⠀students that need help with ⠀⠀their projects . ⠀⠀It is just an offer, nothing ⠀⠀you'd have to accept . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I understand . ⠀⠀[ Sharing something so ⠀⠀personal with a stranger was ⠀⠀rather awkward ⠀⠀conversation . Will ⠀⠀understood that much . ⠀⠀He would fix his glasses, ⠀⠀watching Winston finally lay ⠀⠀down next to him . ] ⠀⠀Maybe you'd like to attend ⠀⠀one of my lessons, just for ⠀⠀fun . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Can't do anything .ᐣ ⠀⠀[ That caught his attention, ⠀⠀sitting back down once more . ⠀⠀His head was already killing ⠀⠀him, but taking more pills ⠀⠀would probably fuck him ⠀⠀up . ] ⠀⠀Did you drop out .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I am not old enough to retire ⠀⠀yet . I still have some years ⠀⠀ahead . ⠀⠀[ A quick grab of the rod, he ⠀⠀stood up, yanking on the line ⠀⠀for a moment before reeling ⠀⠀in a fish . He got it off the ⠀⠀hook, putting it in the ⠀⠀bucket . ] ⠀⠀What do you do for work .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I know . ⠀⠀[ Maybe it wasn't all too ⠀⠀bad he was holding out on ⠀⠀information . ] ⠀⠀I teach adults ... In an ⠀⠀academy . ⠀⠀[ He would glance over to her ⠀⠀for a moment . ] ⠀⠀We could eat the fish here ⠀⠀together, it you'd like . Make a ⠀⠀fire . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀It's hard to leave work behind ⠀⠀sometimes, even when you're ⠀⠀fishing . ⠀⠀[ He would reach over to the ⠀⠀fish in the bucket, simply ⠀⠀gutting it while talking . ] ⠀⠀But it's good to know certain ⠀⠀things about people you ⠀⠀meet . It gives you insight into ⠀⠀their mind . [ + ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Oh, nothing . ⠀⠀[ The rod was now placed ⠀⠀between them both, held in ⠀⠀place by some rocks . ⠀⠀Winston was now running ⠀⠀around with the stick in ⠀⠀maw . ] ⠀⠀But I'd guess if it was your ⠀⠀goal to kill me ... it wouldn't ⠀⠀be this uneventful . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I know you wouldn't have ⠀⠀done that, at least not like ⠀⠀this . I can tell if medication is ⠀⠀tempered with . ⠀⠀[ He would watch Winston ⠀⠀bring back the stick quickly, ⠀⠀dropping it in front of Julie ⠀⠀with excited barks . ] ⠀⠀You wouldn't kill me with ⠀⠀laced ibuprofen . [ + ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I wanted to apologize for his ⠀⠀behavior . ⠀⠀[ He sat down on a stump, ⠀⠀fixing up new bait for the ⠀⠀hook . ] ⠀⠀I didn't expect him to talk to ⠀⠀you ... especially because our ⠀⠀initial interaction was so ⠀⠀brief . Thank you for the ⠀⠀medication again . It helped . [ + ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... Fair deal . ⠀⠀[ He puts away the second ⠀⠀rod again, pushing away the ⠀⠀bucket with the trout to give ⠀⠀her more space . ] ⠀⠀I think you've met Mister ⠀⠀Lecter ... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... It's a hobby for everyone . ⠀⠀[ He's looking at the rod, then ⠀⠀back at her . ] ⠀⠀I can teach you, if you'd like . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀You can be . ⠀⠀[ Hands her the second rod . ] ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀You catch a fish like that ⠀⠀then . ⠀⠀... Then I will try as well . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀.... That's not how fishing ⠀⠀works . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀He won't . Don't worry . ⠀⠀He's up to date with all his ⠀⠀vaccinations . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀We caught one . :) ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Carpe Diem . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... If you put it like that, Mister ⠀⠀Lecter being my ⠀⠀therapist does sound rather ⠀⠀unprofessional . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I appreciate his thoughts ⠀⠀and opinions in a professional ⠀⠀manner . ⠀⠀Nothing more to it . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀... I am not sure if that's ⠀⠀something good or bad . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Rather controversial . I know . ⠀⠀We also work together . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀In a very mild way ... We are ⠀⠀friends . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I am suspecting she has a ⠀⠀rather intense relationship ⠀⠀with one of her patients then . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀It's not all that random . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀Who is that someone .ᐣ ( 😟 ) ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀What does it mean if your ⠀⠀therapist tags you in posts . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀One of my students gave me ⠀⠀this . It's pretty fun . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀You are too kind . ⠀⠀[ He takes the pills, staring at ⠀⠀them intensely . ] ⠀⠀.... ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I will take that . ⠀⠀I need to refill my own ⠀⠀medication afterwards . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀.... You have some on you .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀This headache might just kill ⠀⠀me . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀As long as you don't see ⠀⠀yourself as a hunter . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀My dear Winston . ⠀ ⠀⠀I still fondly think back how I ⠀⠀adopted you . ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀If that's so, which animal ⠀⠀would you be in this ⠀⠀equation .ᐣ ⠀

⠀ ⠀⠀I've always seen myself more ⠀⠀as a part of my pack . Less a ⠀⠀deer . ⠀
