[Dick arrives at the set time by Tim, raising an eyebrow at the pointed look by the youngest Robin: he's not the problem child in the family. Crossing his arms over his chest, he tilts his head slightly:]
I'm guessing Alfred isn't aware of this little visit of ours?
[Don't get him wrong, Tim: he's all for making sure that their grandfather figure doesn't get more heartaches than he already has with the three boys here in Duplicity, but they've talked about trust before. This is certainly not making him inclined to be opened about his personal life: on one hand, Tim might bug the people he cares outside of their little family, and on the other, there's a good chance for Jason to either be an ass to them just for associating with him, or downright flirting with them. Oh yes, he knows about Dawn and the 'babe' comment. Real smooth, Jay.
Still, Dick is curious about this 'Dr. Lecter'. Alfred mentioned him in passing in the past, but it's what his grandfather had said had stuck with him. That's why he's here, even though he's pretty sure they're breaching Alfred's trust with this whole charade.]
[ Yeah, behave and Jason aren't things that often go very well together. Maybe these other two dweebs decided to look somewhat presentable for the occasion but Jason did not. His bum ass self arrived in torn jeans and a hoodie as per usual. Hey, if this asshole was 'courting' Alfred or whatever, even if it's not his Alfred, it was an Alfred. Which meant whoever the fuck was going to have to get used to Mr. Attitude. Right? Sounded right to him.
Also, fuck you Dick. He was totally smooth. What the hell's wrong with calling Dawn babe anyways? She is, right? He was just saying it like it was, man. Anyway, he stands arms crossed and about as far away from Grayson as he can reasonably get without looking too weird. ]
Don't fuckin' look at me like that, dude. I showed up and that's where my promise ends.
[Hannibal opened the door at the knock, a quietly polite look on his face. He did pause for a millisecond, looking from one to the other, before letting out a quiet chuff of amusement.]
You are most definitely Alfred's grandsons. [Accented, but smoothing back into polite, he stepped back to let the three of them in. He himself was wearing a red cashmere sweater with dark grey slacks, elegant but most definitely casual.]
Please, come on in. I have set up tea in the living room. Thank you so much for coming.
[Tim is opening his mouth to reply to Dick when Hannibal opens the door and he swings back around to smile pleasantly at Hannibal]
Good evening! I'm sorry for the extra company but as I'm sure you can understand, we are all concerned about Alfred's happiness.
[Tim is dressed in a suit he would wear to work at Wayne Enterprises. He's trying to make a good impression himself. He bows his head and steps inside and holds out the bottle of alcohol]
I'm not sure what you enjoy drinking but I hope you can enjoy this.
[Dick can't help himself and raise an eyebrow subtly as Hannibal identifies the three of them correctly, despite the obvious fact that Tim didn't mention supplementary guests when he set up this meeting. Sneaky little brother, but he's not exactly surprised by that either. Knowing how the man reacts to an extended family is not a bad idea. And of course, Dr. Lecter does so very gracefully.
Once invited inside, Dick offers his hand to the doctor, his handshake firm and nothing more. There's clearly no need to assert dominance here, after all.]
Dick Grayson.
[He has no idea what Alfred told him or not about their situation in the city, so he keeps any other details to himself: if Hannibal wants to know more about him, he'll clearly have to ask himself.
He moves to let in the youngest Robin, curious to see how the older man is going to handle the rebellious grandson.]
[ Besides, Tim wanted to see how well this guy dealt with surprises or whatever. Well surprise, bitch. The middle child is here (kind of, technically). Blue eyes rose to look over the guy who answered and watched as they all went about being polite or whatever. Jason will just wait. He'll wait until Tim enters, until Dick enters, and then finally roll up to his feet.
Not too tall, Jason. About five foot eight. Body covered by the baggy clothing. Wild messy hair and a face that sported a healing split lip. He stepped right up to the guy and looked up in silence for some time. Then, without a single introduction or word, he went inside. ]
[Hannibal's impressions are lightening quick. Tim - the 'good child'. The one who is protective and watchful, who will call out bad behavior. He is righteous, and the way his chin is raised says that he will follow that path no matter where it leads. Even into danger.
Dick is a different matter - a man of different faces. Charming, aloof, completely in control and yet able to pull off warmth with a flicker of a dimple. Clearly the older brother, here to watch and possibly reign in his younger brothers. He is here to make up his own mind, as well.
Jason ... well. Jason does not care who Hannibal is. he does not care about Hannibal's obvious wealth. He only cares that he is taken Very Seriously. That he will hurt Hannibal if he has to, because of his own protective streak. Hannibal has a feeling, however, that Jason will be slightly more ... loose on the moral calendar than the other two.
A smile crosses his lips, as he closes the door behind them, and leads them towards the kitchen area.]
[Tim smiles as he steps in the door and lets the few moments that Hannibal greets his brothers to see what the foyer of the man's house looks like. His eyes look about at the furniture, how neat everything is placed, how well lived in and what the man chooses to display to try and get a bead on the man. When he turn around again he notices Jason's choice regarding how he's going to treat Hannibal and just smiles wider. It's a fake smile, made for galas and ballrooms.]
And that's Jason. He was happy for the invite as well.
[He follows Hannibal into the kitchen and notices how this room seems more where the man likes to spend his time. If he likes to cook then he can already see how he and Alfred would get along.]
Thank you. It smells lovely in here. I don't want to disturb you too long so I suppose we should get to the point.
I suppose what we really want is to meet you, find out who you are as a person and find out what your intentions are towards Alfred. In return, I suppose we can also offer some answers you might have about ourselves.
[He continues to steamroll with a pleasant smile on his face]
Is it true that Alfred was actually a patient of yours before this courtship started and do you make it a habit of dating your patients Mr Hannibal?
