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.

"The squash cannoli, then. And it goes nicely with the Tom and Jerry - an old form of eggnog." He got a bit of each.

And Jono waited patiently as he did so.

//You know, I'm afraid to ask how many dishes you prepared for this meal,// Jono mused, watching Hannibal intently. //You're going to be full well before we get through all of it, aren't you?//

And that would be the greatest tragedy of all.

"Of course not," Hannibal answered. "Why do you think the portions are so small? Never fear; I plan on tasting everything."

//My hero,// Jonothon decreed, batting his eyelashes and all. //Well, then. Let's see if I survive all the way through to dessert, hm? This is going to be fun.//

He was going to have to take breathers pretty regularly, or this was probably going to throw him into mental overload.

"I've always wanted to be a hero," Hannibal answered. "A life's ambition, fulfilled."
