          “That is your decision.              However, I would make sure I was              willing to accept the consequences.” He has neither the time nor the desire to elaborate on his previous statement.  Where on previous occasions, Hannibal might be willing to stay, spar, selectively drop hints and clues as to his true person or intended meaning - and enjoy doing so - the situation as it is unfolding requires him to move.                And move he does. Before she can pose her question, Hannibal is across the room, long strides concealing the barest hint of a rush,   Arguing the point is beneath both of them at this point.  Yet he pauses, one hand on the door, and glances back, forcing himself to be cold.           “If you desire an answer to your questions,              you will join me, and we will continue our              friendly conversations.                          If not, remain where you are, and I will                  wish you a joyous life - however much of it you                  have left.” His hand tightens briefly on the doorknob but he refuses to wait for a response - he does not have time and he knows, if given only a verbal one, he may overstay what little time he has.  This is the problem with befriending humans and assuming he might hide himself - or, in truth, caring if another finds them.  He should become more like the others.  He should stop caring. - and instead escapes to the other side, continuing his long, hurried stride.

❝ Please don’t start that again. ❞ - Bella

Moulin Rouge Sentence Starters!

      "No, better to let sleeping dogs lie,          although that is perhaps not the best cliché         for the situation."Not that Hannibal has any intention of suggesting another one; the one he believes would fit best ran out of use in the early seventeenth century. It is not likely Bella would appreciate the reference.

Bedelia has never been inclined to cede easily to the demands of others. Chronic fear and meticulous control do not bend easily beneath any pressure that may be applied. Not even the insistent weight of Hannibal’s fingers on her arm nor the strange color that effects his voice are strong enough to drag her in his wake. Instead, she plants her feet and stares him down, her displeasure evident in the fire of her gaze and the set of her lips.

       "Perhaps you need to leave.“

                                             "I do not.”

She does not waste her time asking him WHY he is making such demands of her. If the situation is, indeed, so pressing, he will offer up his truths without unnecessary prompting. If he would like to continue to be enigmatic and obtuse, then she will remain here, no matter what unknown storm beats about their doors.

“I will ask you one last time, Hannibal:”

                                                  “ – Let me go.”

She does not need to tack threats upon her words. He knows that he runs the risk of shattering the fragile trust and respect that binds him if he continues to violate her agency. There is no need to reiterate that fact.

Stop. Hannibal hears the words and understands them and releases his hold.  As much as he would enjoy remaining focused here, he cannot - he can still smell another of them, and that leaves him on high alert.  Gone is the time for debating over semantics or minor squabbles; when it comes to a meeting of two such as him, it is often kill or be killed. He has no intention of either.           “Then stay,” he murmurs, voice a better attempt at smooth,  “and await              your live consumption by someone who will care far less who or what              you might be.” If rumors were correct - and these he believes without a moment’s hesitation - most preferred their victims alive, preferred watching the panic in their eyes as their life flowed from their control into that of another, as their victims watched the pallor of their skin as it grew across otherwise shattered bones.  Not that whoever is here would be quite so broken or desperate.  They would not have been able to make it otherwise. Well.  Desperation is a secondary concern.  Some believe that eating another of their own would allow them to regain their position.  Hannibal knows that isn’t true - not because he has attempted it but because if their first choice was an abomination then there is nothing to suggest that would not be considered one as well.

Everybody has gone through something that has changed them in a way that they could never go back to the person they once were.

y’all - i’m at a low point. probably will be off and on for the next couple of months; december/january are really hard for me. turn of the year stuff, i think, among other things. so - i don’t plan on doing anything stupid or drastic, but i know myself well enough to know that i might. pull away. and seclude. inwardly, at least. my therapist and i set up a safety plan. most of it’s distractions, which are nice. as some of you may know from jess, i’ve been marathoning x-files. this is a good distraction. it’s something i get to do, it gives me something new to analyze, it gives me consistent characters for analysis, it keeps my brain on. something else. ddlc has helped with this, too, especially given one of the character’s comments on depression and things. these…help? but they’re not always. enough. i’m just. not in a good spot. and will probably be in and out of it for the next couple of months. so. i don’t know what i’m asking here. encouragement maybe. i don’t know. more distractions, maybe. something to get me out of my head. help? i guess? but it’s not really consistent enough for that. i don’t know.
