as you’re leaving your office for the day you see a guy with long black hair hyperventilating on the outside of your office, his hair is covering most of his form, he looks ratty and disheveled. from what you can see he’s in a t-shirt and shorts, which is not fit for the dropping temperatures of baltimore. “what do i do…” he murmurs to himself through.. either shakes breaths or soft sobs.

It was fairly late, around 8 or so, the last appointment finished an hour ago. He'd been finishing up paperwork and sketching before deciding to head home, suitcase in hand and bundled up. Usually nothing stopped him at this time, the occasional patient was the most he got, but tonight he heard shaky breathing and soft sobs, a younger man curled in on himself. Hannibal paused, looking him over before taking interest and padding closer, a safe distance away but still near. "Hello? May I help you?"

Hannibal took his silence and his open door as assent, stepping inside and shutting the door behind him. It was dim, but he didn't bother flicking a light on, just opening the curtains and letting the early morning sunshine flicker through. His bag was settled on the table, opened to retrieve a couple of glassware. "I'm very careful about what I put into my body, which means I end up making most meals myself." The lid was popped off of Will's, and pushed towards him, a fork offered as well from another, smaller, container. Ever meticulous. "A little protein scramble to start the day. Some eggs, some sausage."

There was a firm, but polite knock upon Will's door, the motel he was housed in for the moment lightweight in all ways and so unneeded of anything harsher. Hannibal waited until the door opened, revealing a bleary Will, and he offered a slight, genuine smile. "Good morning Will. May I come in?" He held a medium sized bag, full of their breakfast for today and various other things, looking as prim and proper as always. [ @collecterofchurchcollapses ]

He looks at Hannibal for a moment, wondering why he’s here so early. Jack had said Will was needed in an hour or two, not now. He wasn’t even dressed yet, still in his sleep shirt and underwear from having just woken up. He starts to look around, asking a simple “where’s Crawford?” Before finally looking back at Hannibal for an answer.

Who's Faust to you?

"Hmm...... An interesting question you gift me. One I can answer fairly easily. He's a friend, a very near and dear one to me. Why do you ask? Do you know him?"

[collecterofchurchcollapses]

Hello, Dr. Lecter! Lovely to meet you! I'm an associate of Dr.Sutcliffe. Pray tell- are you aware that a mutual aquintance, namely one Frederick Chilton, is claiming to be co-writing a book with you on social exclusion? Something about Will Graham if I recall?

"Hello... It's nice to meet you as well, although I would like to extend my apologies for the recent... loss of your colleague if I may," Hannibal said smoothly, composure unruffled until they continued to speak. His brows furrowed slightly, a soft hum of consideration filling the air for a moment before he fixed his expression. "... I was not aware of this, no. The two of us are not in fact writing a book, I'd like to make that clear. While that does sound like a titillating book topic, I have and will never want a part in such a thing with someone such as himself at the helm."

“Hello, Mephisto”

( heheheheh c; you know who)

"Hello Dr. Faustus. What graces me with the pleasure of your company tonight?"

[collecterofchurchcollapses]

Do you have any idea what I should do then? Considering I’ve already drank it all?

"Drink some water as well, and coffee if you can get your hands on it, as well as proper, solid food. If you have someone with you, rely on them while boarding for your own safety."

I’m curious, what do you celebrate in winter?

"I personally don't celebrate anything, but I do tend to host a dinner party of general holidays if I feel the want to."

NO I MEANT BINGUS LIKE YOUR CATS

YOUR SPHYNX CATS OH MY GOD IM SO SORRY

"Oh- My apologies, I'm not very caught up in terms of slang meanings and that's not the most..... obvious word. So yes, you may see my cats." He looked surprised for only a moment before sliding out of his previous mild disgruntlement and exchanging it for a pleasant demeanor as he pulled his phone out.

"The one on the left is Angelou and the one on the right is Dame."

it’s a 7 hour flight, i should be fine getting off the plane by then right?

".... Not after an entire bottle, no, I would not think so."

[collecterofchurchcollapses]

Is it smart or idiotic that I chugged a $200 bottle of Cognac so that I didn’t have to give it to airport security?

"..... I wouldn't consider it the smartest decision, one wonders about your facilities and your physical state afterwards. Or whether or not you were able to get off the plane."

Its the Halloween season will you do anything for it :3

"Perhaps put up some tasteful decorations, maybe have a dinner party..... Thinking it over still, but it'd be a good distraction I think."

[collecterofchurchcollapses]

church birds are something akin to mountain goats

"Remarkable how easily verticalities are challenged by nature."

[collecterofchurchcollapses]

( don't tell Faust but here's a baby pic of him. Rare to find nowadays. What do you think? )

"Oh- I wasn't aware there were any whatsoever. Interesting.... The white streaks are new..." He mused for a moment before giving the slightest fond smile. "He was always adorable it seems."

from Faust (@corxner) — " I don't understand how people enjoy most wines. Too bitter and sour- or perhaps I'm simply picky "

"Oh, there's a wine for everyone. Might just be a matter of taste, yes, and wine isn't for everyone. Might also be a matter of anytime you have had wine, it hasn't been well picked out. It also requires a certain kind of palate, which may not be developed very well in you yet."

TELL ME ABOUT YOUR CATS W H A T

-🪓

"I have two, they're sphinx cats because I preferred no shed. Cat hair is..... difficult to control, but I adore cats too much not to have any. Angelou is a rescue and Dame was bought from a breeder."
