Thanksgiving Dinner

[sharp_as_knives]

With as much prep done as possible the day before, Hannibal...was still up plenty early, due to both inclination and all the food still left to cook. He believed in doing everything right, and he also believed that the host should not spend their entire party in the kitchen.

So, with Sparkle's help, by early afternoon everything was done and being kept warm or cold, only the final just-before-plating flourishes left, and he was relaxing with a nice glass of mulled wine, ready for the guests.

"Raven. You look lovely." Hannibal reached for her hands and kiss on the cheek. "Please come in. Can I get you something to drink?"

"Thank you, Doctor Lecter," Raven said, taking his hands and offering him a kiss on the cheek in return. "And yes, please. What is it that you are drinking?"

"Mulled wine," Hannibal answered. "Perhaps not as sweet as your preference, but if you try and don't like it, I can get you something else."

"Well, you know how I feel about trying new things," Raven said with a smile. "I would love to try some."

Hannibal nodded and poured her a glass. "And how have you been? And the orphanages?"

"Busy, as always," Raven said, lifting the glass to her face so she could inhale the scent of the mulled wine. "But I think I have dealt with the worst of the orphanages. Now it is simply a matter of keeping them properly funded to the children are well cared for."

"It's good to know they have someone like you to take care of them," Hannibal said, smiling. "And how are Karla and Warren?"
