"Will Graham here. Leave a message."

[Open for text/audio/action/whatever.]

He's...mad.

[ And since he's honest with Hark, he adds: ] Vengeful, I think. He won't risk demotion, but- well, I wouldn't want to be on his bad side.

[ He sounds nothing but fond while he says that. ]

[Sweeney's quiet for a long moment. When he does speak, his voice is low.]

You know...I can't be demoted.

[Kicked off into Nothing, sure. But he suspects that has very little to do with whether or not he serves as the hand of Righteous Violence.]

[ There's a heavy silence in response, followed by a deep chuckle. ]

You can't, can you? Sometimes being an inmate is kinda convenient...not that I'm openly endorsing anything.

[ Shaw will probably, after all, listen to this later. Will considers it 'open.' He also doesn't think that Shaw might care that much, having seen the aftermath. ]

I suspect Peter will be thoroughly defanged after this incident. It's what I was hoping for, that he'd realize he doesn't have any power here. I know I would've loved to rub that in Hannibal's face, if we both ended up here within the same goddamned decade.

Glad he's not here. [Hannibal would be...complicated. On a lot of fronts. Sweeney sighs.]

I hope yer right. I'm just tired of believin' that punishment is effective here. If applied at all. [Which is both true and misleading. He's seen it work, but it's failed so many times, he doesn't have faith in the idea anymore.]

[ Will hums in agreement on the Hannibal front. It would certainly make things a lot more complicated. Besides that, Will's never sure how he feels about the man until he has to make a decision about him. And then, that's just a whim. ]

Yeah, you're right about that. [ He sighs. ] I think Peter went above and beyond, going after both Willa and Iris. Two well-liked wardens with lots of friends and protectors. So...we'll see.

Huh, guess it's not a huge surprise that he went after them. His story's not about Lost Girls, after all. Probably should've expected that one.

Yeah well. I don't expect Iris ta make a fuss. She's gotta soft spot fer the worst of it. Fer all I know, she might find it endearing.

[Sweeney adores her, but the woman still has her faults. Even if one of them is him.]

S'ppose I'll b'lieve it when I see it. If I do. I just ain't gonna hold my breath.
