75 Godiva Street, Saturday

Eliot's phone had stopped ringing. That was awesome. On the other hand he felt like he'd gotten thrown around by a carnival ride -- again -- and there seemed to be a weight sitting right on his chest.

Val lapped at his chin. The weight on his chest was his small-for-her-breed-but-now-full-grown puppy.

Alrighty then.

Hannibal would prefer the blows, actually. Anakin might be a Jedi, but Hannibal had a better track record of keeping his limbs.

"Unlikely." He shrugged. "I prefer words to blows, and he prefers throwing his weight around. But that's not to say I'll trust him any time soon. Or approve of his taste in anything."

Unless it came to a recipe.

"You have seen his hair and wardrobe."

"Ain't nothin' wrong with a shaggy hair cut." Said the man who spent almost as much on hair product as he did on kitchen wares. "The robes thing is weird, though."

"I could make an argument," Hannibal said, "but that seems rude, seeing as I'm in your kitchen and you're ill." He grinned. "We can agree on the robes, however." He brought the bowl of soup to Eliot.

"Honestly, doc," Eliot said, smiling faintly as he took a whiff of the soup. "Can't say I give a crap if you like my hair or not."

"Fair enough," Hannibal answered. "You have no reason to, and it seems to suit you. And you've very good taste other things, tea among them," he added as he smelled it.

"More'n a couple ladies who'd give me hell if I tried to go cheap," Eliot said. "I know the whole tea ceremony, but can't say I got the energy for it, today."

Hannibal gave Eliot a slight bow. "The thought is nevertheless appreciated. Perhaps one day I can return the favor as well; it's been some time since I've created an entire cha-kaiseki meal." Since he'd made it for Jack, in fact.

"Well, if you're lookin' for an excuse," Eliot said. "S'pose that sorta thing ain't really Jono's style."

[sharp_as_knives]

"More than you might think," Hannibal said, "but I never mind sharing my art."

[vdistinctive]

Eliot nodded. "'Swhat art's for."

[sharp_as_knives]

"Precisely." Hannibal smiled. "Art needs an audience."
