Hannibal's house, Sunday
Jan. 25th, 2015 04:50 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
Hannibal set the large glass of home-brewed dark ale on the end table, along with the tiny pork pies and pickle and the remote control for the music system.
And, because he could surf Google and iTunes as well as anyone, and it never paid to be too predictable, he was playing (not too loudly) Opeth.
He was even wearing a comfortable sweater and slacks instead of a suit. He was picking his battles today, and his battle was how greasy not to make fish and potatoes! Since they'd been so rudely interrupted by eels earlier.
[OOC: Waiting on one, but totally open!]
[OOC the second: Specifics of Jono's story NFB, please!]

There was no malice in that accusation, at least. If anything, Jono sounded at least grudgingly impressed that he'd been so magnificently backed into a corner, and hadn't realized until it was too late to nip it in the bud.

Not much of his self-image really came from a healthy place. He'd be the first to admit it.

//... Which I admit isn't exactly the optimal way to approach this.//

Date: 2015-01-29 03:26 am (UTC)Yes, he was making his 'I am fully aware that I'm a brat' face, now.

no subject
Date: 2015-01-29 04:14 am (UTC)Hannibal sniffed disdainfully, shifting to stretch out his legs as he drank a bit more beer. "My carrots are worth any effort."
no subject
Date: 2015-01-29 04:20 am (UTC)Well, if Hannibal was going to stretch out, then Jono was going to make himself comfortable, sprawling out right up against him.
//It'll be worth it. Just have to keep telling myself that. It'll be worth it.//
