[(unsure)!!!!! Holy shit, where did this come from? Will sits, stares, takes several minutes to reply, considers maybe sending a message to poor Fred about it all, decides that their first conversation after taking care of the scene with Gideon should probably not be about one of his patients acting super defensive, and fetches a beer. Good Lord.]

I was honestly just wondering if you'd been released and if Dr. Chilton was the one working with you during your probation. That is the extent of it, nothing else.

you think i dont know any better
what kind of people you are
am i meant to think its perfectly innocent that you would inquire after someone whos largely a stranger to you
that this was done out of concern

ive lived and died too long to take that for granted

[Well, they certainly are a specific sort of people, the Baltimore crew. Not that Will's going to say that so bluntly, not at this stage.]

If you dislike the idea of someone who is largely a stranger inquiring after you out of concern so much, you can always view it as me inquiring after Dr. Chilton instead.

[whatever MAKES YOU HAPPYYYYY kanaya, jfc]

why would that be better
are you worried i will present myself as some sort of threat to him
i suppose you arent wrong to
i am a violent import criminal with a history that includes multiple murders arent i
a big convenient target to look at
as though the rest arent capable of the same

[ because that's the more pertinent collective to her, now. she couldn't care less about who's from baltimore and who's from wyoming. is wyoming really a place? she's heard about it, but never seen it with her own eyes. it's an entirely hypothetical shithole. ]

[why this]

You don't have to be worried about someone to ask after them, and you are in no way the only one here with a similar history. So no, I'm not worried about that.

then what is it exactly that does worry you
i doubt youd be contacting me like this if it were nothing

I Am Not Contacting You Because I Am Worried I Contacted You To Ask You A Question You Can Doubt Id Be Contacting You Like This If It Were Nothing But That Is Just As Inaccurate An Assumption As The Others You Have To Come To In The Short Time Since I Texted You

[If he types like her, will she get it? And he still hasn't gotten a solid answer, Goddamnit needs more whiskey.]

oh so im the one guilty of inaccurate assumptions is it!!
not that i should take exception to a near-strangers attempt to pry into my private matters
and then to follow with this insult!!!

your question isnt getting an answer mr graham
id hardly trust that information to just any random import

[Is this a breakthrough? Should he give poor Frederick a head's up about this in case he doesn't know?]

Guilty Is A Strong Word For It And Not What I Would Use They Arent Private Matters Anymore I Attempted To Communicate With You In The Same Way You Communicate With Everyone Else That Is Not An Insult Good Thing Im Not Just Any Random Import Refusal To Answer Is Still An Answer Ms Maryam Thank You For Your Time

we have spoken once
that to me does not make your correspondence any less random
the fact that you would appropriate a culturally significant marker and think id be anything short of offended proves that!

[Well now she's offended instead of continuing to assume he's worried, so it's not the worst method, his struggle with mirrors in blessed text format.]

It certainly proves something

[Though he's not referring to the same thing she is, referring more to the situation in whole, and that's all he sends while he tries to puzzle out what it proves, exactly. Narrowing it down and reading over that file post a little more carefully. Like, he might not say anything back if he's not alerted with something else from her sort of investigation into what it proves.]

[ oh like she could ever resist sharing her thoughts at length. he will get every unwanted agonizing detail of her investigation. ]

what it proves is that you dont know me well enough to think i should be telling you anything whatsoever
and it also proves that because of this i cannot trust you to any degree
it is clear that if your thoughts are not of concern for the potential of my actions
then they must be seeking ammunition to supply your own undisclosed and sinister motive
that is not something i can enable or abide

[He stares at that for a while. He could address it in depth, pick it all apart, thinks about it. Types some of it out, clears that away to nothing, and eventually decides that it's not worth it.

At all.]

If you've made up your mind, I assume we're done here.

the thought that i wont suddenly change my mind about letting you get in close enough to slide the blade between my ribs is not an unreasonable conclusion to draw
good day mr graham
