Fandom Island Counseling Services and Psychiatry, Monday

[never_dull]

Well, if there were any time that people were going to need counselling, it was after something like that.

Hannibal had coffee, tea, wine, and beer ready to go, and was doing paperwork and catching up on the news.

And drinking wine. They'd missed another wedding, and this one hadn't even been a ceremony!

Kanan had considered just staying in today.

Actually, no, Kanan had considered calling Portalocity to see how much it cost to get a one-way ticket to Illium for a man, his dog, and a ship that had maybe enough fuel in it to get him to the nearest edge of the solar system from Earth. It had been that sort of everything, basically, and while he was pretty sure the 'Jedi' thing was no secret around here anymore, he'd still taken his lightsaber apart and wasn't wearing it in the open.

He had it with him, but it wasn't out in the open.

So, that was Kanan's headspace as he made his way in to Hannibal's office.

"I don't suppose you have time for a walk-in today, Doctor?"

Hannibal waved him in. "For a friend, always." He got up to pour him a beer. "In point of fact, I've been no busier than usual today. I don't know whether that speaks well or ill of the island's population."

"You mean an island full of people who for the past several days have had to fear for their lives every time they step out into the streets?" Kanan offered Hannibal a wry smile at that one. "Give them time. Just because you can logically look out there and know there aren't hollows waiting to jump out at you from the alleyways doesn't mean people aren't still on edge, no matter how much help they need."

Sorry, Hannibal. Kanan was feeling extra Jedi today.

"Or it could be that they're so accustomed to such things, they need no more help than usual." Hannibal grinned and handed Kanan his beer. "As I said, I don't know to what extent either is true; I suspect both. As well as a good number of people simply pleased to have central heat and water again."

He brought his wine over to a chair and waved Kanan toward a nearby one. "You seem to have no problems in compartmentalizing that far."
