[That and how not to be led about by his other self with a few well placed words. There weren't many out there that could claim to have changed the mind of Hannibal Lecter when he was deciding on a course of action.]
She does find it disquieting to be older than ourselves.
If you are content with Will Graham, that's enough for me. He seemed to find me just as uninteresting as I did him the single time we met. But again, if he makes you happy, then good luck.
[That stopped him, made him think. Terms weren't something he had considered much. After seeing the Down, he had no desire to remain there, and his elder self had all the knowledge he wanted. While he could survive the Down easily, he found himself already considering how to execute a few. Food had also seemed in a short supply down there.]
I should like to live with you instead of the Down. I would want access to your books and knowledge. I've lost half a century, and you seem to understand it all in terms of technology and advances in medicine. From what I understand, I would also require your permission to work at the clinic in the Down. They might have use for a surgeon. I should also like to continue my artwork which would require supplies. I suppose whatever I make goes to you and can repay for these things.
[He didn't think to ask for other things. Hannibal may or may not find his threadbare clothing acceptable. What money he had always went to education or art versus things like clothing, rich food or even the arts. Not yet anyway. Securing his position had been his first concern, having just come to America with its lights, warmth and rush of action.]
