[It was all a matter of knowing where people's pressure points were, and hitting them exactly when you needed to. Honesty was a good way to hit this points, so Hannibal mixed it together with light falsehoods and had a potent level of manipulation at his disposal. Even against himself.]
As my only child, I would not be surprised at that reaction from her.
As for Will, he is his own person. I keep away from him on his request. Thank you for honoring that agreement, in your own way.
[Here, he paused, because getting anything sexual was not part of why he wanted the younger Hannibal as his Submissive. Control ... control was always more satisfying than sex.]
I will have to get a bigger home, so you may have to wait while I get that arranged. You can have free access both. You will have my permission, naturally, as we do need a surgeon. I can give you some of my supplies and get you your own.
In exchange, I want full disclosure on your actions and who you interact with, along with the depth of said interaction. I do not need messy details, just salient knowledge. You are not to reveal our past revenge to anyone, and you are not to bring her into any conversation with someone I do not deem completely under our individual thralls.
You will only have safe sex with Marlo.
You will not kill anyone without discussing it with me first. I need to be able to run damage control if it goes public.
You could have began with Graham requested you remain away from him and would like me to agree. For your sake, I would have.
[But that's neither here nor there. When it comes to Graham, Hannibal has no stake in him. Whatever is going on there doesn't need him digging into it. Yet.]
Don't put yourself out for a bigger home. [Meaning he doesn't trust what that would mean here.] My place in the Down is serviceable if you can allow me use of your library and bringing me up to date with what I've missed.
I find all those terms agreeable except for the stipulation of Marlo. She may have no desire to have me in her bed, and I will take to my bed whomever I please with the exception of your Will Graham and Abigail Hobbs. As for safety, I always am. While I'm not sure if social disease exist here, I'd rather not be the first to find out.
Well I could have done that, but then how would you know how desperately I am in love with him? Thus an advantage you now have but cannot use because he does not want to be around you either.
[Which will remain true.]
I shall investigate, and let you know what is happening. You may have full access to my library, and my office.
I am not saying that you have to have sex with Marlo, or that you cannot. I frankly just want to make sure that we are both being careful about whom we share sexually. However, that you are aware of sexually transmitted diseases is enough to ease my concern about us sharing partners.
Then let me know so we can plan accordingly. Also, to get fresh meat.
Don't lie to me. No one could love us or us them. That died in the snow with... No one can, and we're not capable.
As for the access and anything they require signed for me to work at the hospital, I would appreciate it. I dislike limits.
I will take every precaution. I don't know what it's like in your era, but more than a few STDs can destroy a life in mine. I would not endanger you or Marlo in that way.
I don't do that anymore. But I will keep it in mind.

And if an accidental killing happens?
