A/N: Hello, people!

I don't own Hannibal.

I have no beta.

ENJOY!

Will Graham did not understand the creepy smile Kailani was sending his way. It was like she knew something that no one else did and she was proud of whatever it was. But the smile only came out when she was looking at him or Hannibal.

"So how have you been?" she asked, leaning over her desk in order to fully force her evil grin on him.

"A little better and worse I guess."

"What happened?"

Will collapsed on the small sofa in the waiting room and ran his hand through his ruffled curls. "I don't… it's like I'm seeing things. Maybe? Like all the murderers I've envisioned, I'm putting myself in their place and it's… unnerving I guess?"

She simply nodded, understanding coming over her face much like with Hannibal.

"You slip so deeply into the minds of these killers that you feel you become them in a sense, able to see and feel what they do. It scares you because you are dissociating from yourself when the mind of Garret Jacob Hobbs is still inside your own mind, bouncing around. When you aren't within your mental perimeters, you are him and that is when you begin to lose who you are.

Constant reminders of him are what keep you from moving on. His daughter, Dr. Lecter, no doubt people at work are mentioning him at least once a day. You probably are hallucinating his appearance now and then, unable to shake him off."

He couldn't help but gape, because she'd hit it pretty hard on the head.

"Are you a psychiatrist too?" he asked hesitantly.

"Uh… I don't have a Master's, just a Bachelor's so I don't think I count."

"And you… make it a habit to psychoanalyze your boss' patients?"

"Clients," she said matter-of-factly. "He refers to you all as clients. As for me, I'm trying to bring you clarity. By repeating what you said in a more definitive form, and then adding my opinion from what I've seen and heard, I can help you reach an understanding of yourself. You said 'maybe' in a questioning form, meaning you were unsure of yourself. Repetition gives you a chance to better explain yourself if what you've heard doesn't sound like what you meant. It's a regular technique in psychoanalysis."

Will was speechless, having not considered that. Dr. Lecter was much more convoluted in his dealings, but she was using a straightforward approach. Candidness at its finest.

"So is that what it's like for you?"

"Pretty much… yeah."

"When it feels like you're about to dissociate, perhaps thinking or stating who you are, where you are, and what you like most in life, will help you get back on track."

Will sat up straighter, "I know that one! My name is Will Graham, I am in Baltimore Maryland and it is seven twenty-eight in the evening... and I like dogs."

The last had been a small addition into his normal speech, because she looked so expectant and was beaming at him for doing it right.

"Great! Keep it up, I hope it helps!"

A moment later, Dr. Lecter opened his office door and smiled at them.

"Good evening, Will, do come in."

Will stood and waved to the grinning woman, ducking into Dr. Lecter's office quickly in order to forget how many teeth she managed to fit into one smile.

She was odd.

A few days later, Kailani heard a car pulling up to the office, but it wasn't the wheezing sound of Will's car, the sputtering of Franklyn's car, Abigail didn't have a car, Jack Crawford's car made barely a hum, and none of the other clients had a sound as memorable as this. Like it was trying to purr but didn't have the parts so it sounded more like a growl.

She checked under the desk, eyeing the slugger that rested by her feet. Always there should she need it.

A moment later the door opened and a beautiful woman walked in. Much shorter than Kailani was, pale skinned, and looking annoyed. She blinked a few times upon seeing Kailani and then apologized.

"I'm sorry, I didn't know Hannibal had a secretary."

The Polynesian shrugged, "Unless you're a client, you most likely wouldn't."

Kailani glanced at the office door, "His last appoint cancelled. If you'd like to see him he should be free."

"Uh... thank you. I'm Alana Bloom, a colleague and friend of Hannibal and Will's," the woman smiled. She had laugh lines.

"Kailani Taikefu. Make sure to knock, he hates when people don't knock."

Alana Bloom nodded and did so, entering the office a moment later, asking for beer, leaving Kailani to record their meeting in her datebook. She also marked down the way Alana said Hannibal's name. Infatuation to a small degree with possibility of growing stronger. And she was a beautiful woman so there was a possibility that as Hannibal's friend, she could turn his head so to speak.

That would not do.

The woman could not get in between Kailani's OTP!

She wouldn't allow it.

This called for strategic mention of Will Graham and light teasing.

Over the next few days, Kailani slipped little comments about Will into every discussion she had with the good doctor, intent upon him realizing that Will was good for him in more than just the satisfaction of scientific curiosity.

Cute, damaged but strong, smart, cute, skilled, empathetic, cute, need she go on? He was perf for the boss!

Instead, Hannibal decided to invite Jack Crawford over for dinner.

"I would have thought that Will Graham would be the one you want to wine and dine," she complained, making it very clear that she did not approve of his choice of dinner date. "Instead you're making moves on a married man. Not kosher, Dr. Lecter."

Hannibal sighed, "Kailani, I am simply having a friend for dinner."

"That's what they all say. What would Will say though? He must be devastated."

She was laying it on a bit thick, but there was a reason for it. She had to make him think. Wanting to include Will in everything he did was the first step!

"I will extend an invitation to Will but I highly doubt he will join us."

"At least he'll know you're thinking of him."

And soon that line of thinking would grow a bit more.

A/N: Another is done!

How was it? Let me know.

Check out my other fics.

See ya! :D
