[week three - monday]

[ That sure was a thing that happened outside the hotel this morning.

Xion had found herself staring at the corpses - until they got cut down, at the very least - for probably an unhealthy amount of time. Just watching as they swayed in the wind, macabre decorations to suit all their moods.

If death hadn't already been weighing heavily on her thoughts, this certainly would have put her in the right frame of mind.

It's still fairly early in the day when she goes to track down Dr. Lecter. She's starting to get used to his patterns, seeking him out not infrequently, so she has a good idea of where she'll find him. When she finds him, she doesn't really waste time, instead being quite direct: ]

Are you free?

[ This is more for the benefit of anyone who might overhear. He'll likely understand she's really asking to have one of their "sessions." ]

[ As is the easy, default case with Hannibal, he can be found in the kitchen. It's almost his home with how much time he spends here, but at least for now he's not cooking. The opposite, actually, since he's scrubbing the counter with care to disinfect it, because with how many people use the kitchen, it's definitely not up to his standards of cleanliness, generally speaking. When Xion enters, he looks up and gives her a smile and a greeting: ]

Hello, Xion.

[ Though he can tell by the morose look on her face the question that's likely to come next. He stands up straight from leaning over the counter, and as he nods, he sets the towel draped over the sink's edge. This can easily be returned to later, and that aside... It's not exactly dirty in here. He's just meticulous. ]

I am. Would you like to go to the library?
