[Seeing tears makes John's heart ache for the other man. It also has him changing tacks.]
Maybe that's the conversation you should have with him, then? [He reaches out to place a hand on Hannibal's shoulder.] Death shouldn't be on the table for either of you. If he's hellbent on keeping Dr. House safe, then maybe you can work together on that, explain you want to find a way together so that no one needs to die. Not you for him, him for House. Or House with one of his bloody experiments. This place piles on enough of that without us helping it along.
You're both clever blokes, very clever from what I've seen. [For better or worse. John doesn't always like Will's insights focused on him, but as with Sherlock, he can appreciate the genius inherent behind it. Hannibal he hasn't seen as much of that from. He also hasn't been in the habit of butting heads with Hannibal. So. In any case, if the man was working with the FBI, he likely had to have been on his game, as well.] You can make it work as a team.
