Who: Hannibal and Bedelia
What: A meeting of minds
Where: Bedelia's office
When: After this
Status: Closed
Rating: Low

His footsteps echoed along the empty hallway of the hospital. It never ceased to surprise him that despite the growing number of people on the island, so few of them required the help of the hospital. Very few rooms contained patients. But it was a reality that he was still to accustom to. Many of the population had healing abilities and would heal others as well as themselves. Yet with all this power, there was still very little evil on the island. Or from what he could see. Even Loki stayed in the shadows. Hannibal did wish the god would come out and play. Now that they were both gods, maybe they could connect on a higher level. Hannibal made sure to revisit that thought.

He arrived outside Bedelia's office and knocked twice before waiting patiently.

	"Are you seeing me as a patient or as a friend?" It was clear to Hannibal that Bedelia wanted to know more about Abigail's abilities. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"You came to me, Hannibal. That's your choice, not mine." She said curtly, resenting that he was trying to question her. "Which am I?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hannibal stood to his feet and took a very relaxed walk around her office, "You have already made that decision." He said as he looked at the books she had chosen to keep. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Perhaps the better question is what would you like me to be?" She thought for a second before toeing off her heeled shoes and putting her bare feet on the coffee table. It would make him intensely uncomfortable, and she wanted to push his boundaries. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

His chest that natural puffed out seem to deflate the moment he heard her shoes slip off her feet and the gentle thuds of her heels. He ran his teeth along his bottom lip and took a moment before turning to face her. "You questioned Abigail, not me, and did so without knowing. You see me as a friend, you accept me and want me as a friend. A comfort that a patient cannot give you." Hannibal was far more detailed than he wanted to be but in retaliation, of course.

She unfolded her arms and let them dangle from either side of the chair haphazardly. Bedelia knew she had ruffled Hannibal's feathers perfectly and needed to go forward. She could only push him further, "Hey, you asked me for this meeting. I just went along with it. You brought up Abigail, you brought up me. The only person you haven't talked about is you. That's avoidance."

	"You take an interest in Abigail. Any psychiatrist would know that one should encourage patients to talk about themselves. We share interests." He walked over to the window and slid his hands into his pockets as he took a long breath. "Where are we without friendships?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bedelia watched Hannibal and chewed on her pen, knowing he'd notice. "Who do you consider yourself friends with on this island, then?" She said. There was a name or two on her lips she wanted him to mention first. Perhaps he'd break with the right persuasion. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isinthedetails 2014-09-14 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	Hannibal glanced over his shoulder and could see Bedelia lift the pen to her mouth. "No one as of yet." There was a sexual urge inside him, wanting to discipline Bedelia until she cried for him to stop. He wanted to take the comfort from her as much as she liked to from him. He felt a heat in his stomach and he turned to look through the window again. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Bedelia actually laughed then and stood up, her bare feet padding on the cold floor. "No-one, Hannibal? You don't consider Dr Cuddy your friend? Or Sookie Stackhouse? Or Abigail?" She stood behind him, poking him in the back with her chewed pen. Now that should get a reaction. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Hannibal found her laugh insulting and entirely unprofessional. His hands almost turned to fists in his pockets. He could feel her presence but somewhat refused to turn to face her. "Clearly you have me very wrong." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Bedelia liked her lip, seeing his fists clench in his pockets. "Then enlighten me, Hannibal. You had an incredibly intimate relationship which ended very suddenly not too long ago and yet the woman you were with jumped into a very passionate, seemingly loving relationship almost straight away. With a man who is your doppelganger but is also your counter. Did you make a mistake? Or did she?"

	"Neither of those are necessary basis for a friendship." Hannibal replied and finally turned to face her. "There was no mistake to be made." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dr_bedelia 2014-09-14 09:59 pm UTC (link)
	"So you are simply being, are you? Going back to your normal, day-to-day existence, feeling no part of her missing from your life." She smiled a little dirtily, crooking it a little like Sookie did, she had noticed. "That's interesting." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Humans have the ability to evolve and become. Those who evolve, go on." He reached forward and wrapped his fingers around her wrist, moving the pen away from her mouth. Hannibal could see what she was trying to do. He appreciated her intelligence, but it came with a frustration. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dr_bedelia 2014-09-14 10:12 pm UTC (link)
	She glanced at the hand on her wrist, knowing he'd feel the uptake of her pulse. "Evolution takes millions of years. And you are still human, Hannibal, no matter what." she said more carefully, more measuredly... more her. Bedelia looked up at him. "You can admit to feeling something missing."

	"I do not require permission to feel. I appreciate life for what it is, but my emotions do not restrict me." His thumb brushed over the inside of her wrist having already calculated her heart rate. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dr_bedelia 2014-09-14 10:21 pm UTC (link)
	Bedelia swallowed. So they were playing this game again? Very well. "I don't require permission as a pre-requisite for appreciating life. Your enjoyment of life is your own and how you seek it is your business. Obviously it was between her thighs..." Bedelia stared into his eyes; her crassness obviously purposeful.

	His lip twitched and his grip on her wrist tightened, he liked to show that he was entirely in control of the situation, that he dominated. "I have sexual desires as do you, Dr Du Maurier." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dr_bedelia 2014-09-14 10:39 pm UTC (link)
	"And what do you know of my sexual desires, Dr Lecter?" She asked pointedly, but refused to move. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isinthedetails 2014-09-14 10:59 pm UTC (link)
	He smirked gently. "Are you asking me as my psychiatrist or my friend?" His eyes trailed down her face to her neck, imagining what her skin would taste like. She would go so wonderfully with a fine red wine. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	dr_bedelia 2014-09-14 11:02 pm UTC (link)
	She smirked back, "You said you had no friends here. I am here. Ergo, I am not your friend." Bedelia loved logical arguments. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isinthedetails 2014-09-14 11:06 pm UTC (link)
	"I cannot be your friend if you are not mine." Hannibal answered smoothly and let go of her wrist, wondering where she would put her hand next. It would reveal a great amount about how she felt at this moment in time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Friendship requires reciprocation, yes." Bedelia's fingers straightened his tie and flattened it against his chest. "As do many things." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	isinthedetails 2014-09-14 11:15 pm UTC (link)
	"As they do." He leaned in slowly. His cheek gently brushed past hers as he breathed in deeply, taking in her scent. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
