Who: Hannibal Lecter, open
What: Hannibal's cocktail party
When: May 17th, evening
Where: The Lecter home
Rating/Warnings: PG
Status: In progress

Hannibal is really quite excited for the dinner party. He hasn't had one in far too long, and has taken great joy in preparing everything just so. Mischa's desserts are in the kitchen, to be served later in the evening, and the staff he hired are setting up platters with his various amuse-bouches.

Hannibal himself is dressed in one of his best suits, a step up from his usual fare but a step down from opera black tie. Hopefully, his guests will understand what 'black tie optional' means and dress accordingly.

Glasses of wine and champagne are circulating, and there's a small bar set up should anyone require something other than that. There are a few staff members lingering in the foyer to open doors and take coats, if the need arises.

Now all he has to do is wait for his guests.

	"Is he a monster?" Abigail smiled and sipped her champagne, watching the other partygoers. "I've been here my whole life, yeah. Where'd you come here from?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I guess it's in the eye of the beholder." He shrugged a bit. He didn't necessarily get along with his father, but that didn't change the fact that Norman Osborn had done a lot for modern medicine. Harry wasn't about to get into it. "I'm from New York. I'm liking it over here so far, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"That's got to be quite a bit of culture shock. You'll like the weather here better in the winters, though. It's nice to have the option to visit snow." Minnesota in her dreams had been too cold for her tastes. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"I've spent the last eight years in Europe, so everything's a culture shock right now." Harry shrugged a shoulder, amused. "Definitely looking forward to the better weather." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Oh, where? Hannibal and I are going to go to Paris soon." Abigail can't help the fondness in her tone when she mentions her adoptive father. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"England. I went to boarding school there." He took a sip of his wine, not letting off much in the way of his thoughts about that. "But I've been all over. After I graduated I just stayed. Paris is great. I liked Germany a lot. Austria. Hamburg in Germany I think was my favorite place." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Her nose wrinkled. "Boarding school always sounded awful." She smiled a little at his comment about Germany. "Maybe we could hop over there too while we're on that continent." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"They're definitely not fun." He returned the smile, leaning against a nearby wall. "You should. No sense in just seeing Paris when you can visit all of Europe with just a train ride." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail laniidae 2014-05-22 04:43 am UTC (link)
	"It's always weird to think about how small some countries in Europe are compared to the US." Abigail smiled to herself, thinking about how romantic a train ride would be with Hannibal. "Does your family live here?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail bonusround 2014-05-22 04:47 am UTC (link)
	"Then maybe try not to think about it." Harry set aside his now empty wine glass and returned to his awful mineral water. "Nah. The only family I have is my father and he's in New York still. I don't mind. I like being on my own." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail laniidae 2014-05-22 04:59 am UTC (link)
	"That's probably a good trait, considering you were in boarding school and all." She couldn't imagine being so far apart from her father. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail bonusround 2014-05-22 05:05 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I guess." Harry was simply more than all right with being a country away from Osborn Sr. "So. Eighteen, right? You'll be ... What, going to college soon or something?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail laniidae 2014-05-22 05:15 am UTC (link)
	"Already started," Abigail smiled. "Psych at UCI." Hannibal had more than a little bit to do with her choice of major, but she didn't mind. She doesn't want to go into psychiatry, but psychology. They're close, but not the same. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail bonusround 2014-05-22 05:20 am UTC (link)
	He let out a low whistle, rocking on his feet. "Impressive. How's that going?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail laniidae 2014-05-22 05:26 am UTC (link)
	"Good so far." She didn't think it was that impressive, seeing as she was on the older end of eighteen, but he was nice to say so. "I'm in the boring part of school, all the core classes." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail bonusround 2014-05-22 05:28 am UTC (link)
	Psychology in general was impressive to Harry. He wouldn't be able to sit through it. "It'll get better. So I'm told." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail laniidae 2014-05-23 03:03 am UTC (link)
	"I hope so. Otherwise I'll just grit my teeth and keep going." Abigail didn't like being defeated by anything. She smiled when Hannibal waved to her, raising a hand and waving back. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Kudos to you. I'd never be able to sit it out." He watched her wave to her father, then turned his attention back to her. "I guess your father's pretty supportive of you?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	She wished she was a better liar; blood went to her cheeks immediately. "He adopted me, and yeah. He's good to me." It wasn't untrue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	If Harry noticed, he didn't mention the blush. After all, girls were always weird when it came to fathers, right? Honestly, he had no idea. "That's nice." He wasn't lying. He thought it was great. "Good of him to take you in and all." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"He was friends with my father before he died, so he felt he had to." Her parents had gone together, which was almost poetic and had hurt all the more. "I'm lucky." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail bonusround 2014-05-24 07:23 pm UTC (link)
	"Yeah, I'd say so," Harry replied. "That's good, though." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail laniidae 2014-05-24 07:27 pm UTC (link)
	"It is." Abigail smiled at Hannibal again, her cheeks still pink. "Have you made many friends yet, Harry?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail bonusround 2014-05-24 07:29 pm UTC (link)
	"I'm getting there. Actually," he said, with an amused look, "a really good friend of mine from when I was like ... Ten just showed up here for school. Which is pretty crazy." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Harry \|\| Abigail laniidae 2014-05-24 07:30 pm UTC (link)
	That made Abigail's eyes go wide. "Wow, really? That's past coincidence and goes straight to fate." She leaned in, murmuring into Harry's ear. "Are you sure you're not fated to be?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
