[Well sooner or later Hannibal would turn the tables - sooner or later. Most likely later. He, after all, had a great deal of patience for those who amused him. As it was, he was curious to see what precisely was going on with Judar.]
Sounds lovely. I shall see you there.
[Hannibal was on time because it was rude to be otherwise. He had a table waiting, and was already seated in a dark corner with a menu in front of him. He lifted his gaze once he caught Judar's scent, then his eyebrows rose together.]
... I suppose I should have said, full pants as well.
[ The sad thing is that Judar wouldn't know whether it was supposed to be touching that his scent was recognizable, or concerned because Hannibal had keen enough senses to memorize and pick up such a thing. If he knew that was what was going on. On the magi's side, it seemed like a well-timed glance over. ]
I gave you a chance. This is normal for people my age to wear. Actually, most fashions were either this or too hot with all the leather...
[ Not that 'too hot' meant much for someone that could regulate their immediate environment for a comfortable life. It's one of the conveniences Judar tried to keep from being known about, to keep from getting called spoiled or soft, or whatever. It was enough for his clothes being criticized, right? ]
Suits and professional looks are better on you, anyway. It's not like I look bad...
No ... ooo. You do not look bad. [Hannibal gave Judar the look-over he desired and had earned in those clothes.] In fact you have a rakish charm. I am just certain these people are going to see you with me, and assume I have bought and paid for your company for the evening.
[Oh, he knew they would think nothing of the sort. Dominant and Submissive was as clear on them as if they had both been stamped with it.]
In that particular outfit ... they probably assume I have paid a great deal.
[ No Judar, they can definitely tell that the only money Hannibal was spending was on the meal itself. The charm and seeming like he might've been a little expensive at least took away the self consciousness. It was enough to find his mental footing, put himself together and hold his head up better. ]
I mean, I am worth quite a bit at the Naughty Persian... If any of them are fans of my clones, you might even get a few particularly jealous stares.
I shall try to endeavor to make them more jealous then, so your clones can receive bigger tips.
[Hannibal stood, as it was only polite, and then pulled out the chair for Judar. Making it clear that this was a social engagement, and not a financial one.]
Which would be surprising, if you knew how big those got.
[ - Oh, right, Hann does those kinds of things. It had been a little been, and caught up with people leaving, smaller details like that was nice to be reminded of. A nice reminder as he sat down in the chair. ]
Despite? I'll still have to take the compliment. Will you be more specific when I offer to take requests?
[ Spending permissions and between that and the Persian, Judar had more money than he knew what to do with. Then again, he lived in a world where he could get whatever he wanted without financial assets. ]
It's the easiest layer to make decisions on.
[ It'd be easier, but as Judar's mentioned in the past, the insistence on zippers meant he had to go on necessity. ]
I guess, if you really meant what you said before, you'll have more chances to customize me how you'd like.
[ It might not be as great as Judar imagines, but without any sense of scale on these things, any luxury amount of savings would be a lot to handle. Plus, the simple way of this city, was that sex paid. Plenty of others at the Persian earned more and had more regulars, but his activity was steady enough.
And it was easier to think about that than it was the words 'close to me,' and Judar being in reference to that. It's not the first time it's been said, but he still didn't know how to handle it that well. Save for that usual smirked grin and moving on to everything said around it. ]
Well, you're one of the only ones I really know who could do anything about that. So, how should this be set up? Monthly requirements, services- You just leave me with particular permissions to handle everything on my own, aside from required services?
[ Judar was already aware, from Hannibal himself, that there was no actual room for him. Whether Judar could really take care of himself, without anyone... Hard to tell, as the Submissive was limited by permissions for however long Kouen had disappeared. ]
[Hannibal smirked faintly, as he folded one leg over the other and began to read the menu aptly. He looked up only when Judar asked what the terms of their contract would be. His lips pursed thoughtfully.]
I am rather lenient, when it comes to my Submissives. I usually require only one display a month of my Dominance over them. With you I shall have to have some ... veto power over your clothing when we go for meals in upper scale establishments.
[He purses his lips, tipping his head.]
I suppose you shall want some sort of sexual arrangement put into place? What with your clones and all, we shall have to be fairly open when it comes to whom you have sex with.
[ That Hannibal would want veto power on clothes. Really, it'll lead to more clothing being purchased, because aside from a couple of suits for high formal events, Judar's fashion suited his age on more casual levels. His fashion would fit the 'Instagram' style, stopping with what he could go around in comfortably. He seemed partially ready for that with asking if the older man had any particular requests for his clothes.
Meanwhile, where Hannibal had looked up, Judar moved to talking about this while thumbing through the menu as well. Choosing what to drink was easy- That was always something with peach in it, and the young man didn't have a taste for beer. There was a blend with liqueur in it, and at this point in the season a peach moscato was recently added. ]
I think it'd have to be open just for what my job is at the Naughty Persian, even if the clone wasn't in the picture. You can still insist on a quota between us, if you want. I'm pretty easy on that stuff, so it could be whatever.
[ ... Yeah, he figured out what he'd probably get at this point. ]
I guess you'd want me more polite, too? It's possible I can work on it, but I'm not going to lie or fake the kind of person I am. If I don't do it honestly, and with who I am, it's just going to make stuff here harder to control.
[ He taps his head as an idea that this is something actually being fought with, but doesn't elaborate on the details. Besides, how often do people get soul rebalancing, fighting depravity and all that? Judar, that's literally what a therapist does. ]
Edited (Gave you some more progression, and fixed some phrasing) Date: 2019-08-02 04:15 am (UTC)
I suppose you could have, if you did indeed care about such things. Although I have the deepest feeling that you simply just want to just have an excuse to flaunt the rules when you please.
[Hannibal said wryly, before musing over the rest of what Judar said.]
Then we shall keep it sexually open. As for politeness -- I will not force you to be anything but yourself, Judar ... but do know that being rude to guests in my home is going to be punished.
[Hannibal mused on this, as he put his menu aside.]
[ Well that has Judar's eyebrows raise up a bit- Not completely in surprise, but a blend of that, amusement and curiosity. ]
Hann, that kind of sounds like an invitation to hang around your home more.
[ As it'd never really come up before, Judar's not completely sure how one would be punished sexually. Meanwhile, he continues on, as if he didn't just use the nickname Hannibal told him to stop. ]
I suppose how rude I am depends on where you think my usual straight-forward charm falls. Most people find it refreshing more than anything else.
[Hannibal's smile appeared as he leaned back and spoke into the phone in a lower tone.]
I certainly will not object to seeing you more in my home. Especially with your straight-forward charm - you would be a welcome addition to my dinner parties. Just keep in mind that I do not like being ... embarrassed at my own table.
[ ... Ah. While Judar wouldn't acknowledge it, as it barely even shows on his face, it felt kind of nice to have that added invitation. Like this was more than Hannibal giving someone a simple favor and leaving it at that. Which would've seemed reasonable and fine enough, and he would've worked with that, no problem.
He might even have enough of an appetite to almost finish his meal here. ]
It's not like I aim to do that to anyone to begin with... Any particular things that would do that, that you think I'd do?
[Hannibal continues to cut his food into neat bites, looking up from under his eyelashes. He could tell that Judar liked what he heard, and he smiled once more as he neatly ate what was on his fork.]
No ... nothing in particular. Honestly, I was just going to offer up more interesting Dominant and Submissive sexual positions, but that's clearly up to you as well.
[ Of course he liked it. People rarely went about inviting him to places and socializing. Well, Aspen had their 'mandatory dates,' but that seemed to be something else entirely. That's how it seemed with the way the winged guy had phrased things. Hearing that he'd be a good addition to a dinner party, however those were supposed to go, felt nice. ]
Sure, we could try those things out as well. There really isn't much I'd say 'no' to, as long as it's not obviously defiling. It doesn't mean much in this world, but I'm still a magi. Still, I doubt you'd treat or play like someone's a toilet.
[ That is to say, he didn't think that Hannibal would come up with something so degrading or defiling as that. ]
[He smiled at that, and saluted Judar with his glass, before making a face after that.]
The very thought makes me rather ill. Using anyone as a toliet is disrespectful, and rude. [So in other words if anyone ever tried, Hannibal would hunt them down, kill them, and turn them into a delightful dinner party meal.]
At any rate ... I think this is a very equitable agreement.
[ See, that's the exact response he would've expected from the man. It didn't seem like there would be any issues, at least that he could think of, just for Hannibal's insistence on being civilized. ]
Yup, I agree.
[ Which, while belated, has him returning the small salute before taking another sip of the drink. ]
When you've got it written, I'll sign and have it sent to the offices for processing.
[ That's exactly how it'll go, too. He won't look the papers over, to see if anything was added or changed, and will make sure it goes through properly ]
[Hannibal was always going to insist on being civilized. It was, after all, something that was denied him at a very crucial age in his upbringing. For him, there was no greater pleasure than acting politely and without disrespect to another person, unless you were tweaking their noses.
As one does when one is feeding the elitist snobs human flesh.]
I shall have it sent to you in the next day or so. Now ... what else shall we talk about?
[ Perhaps part of him thought that the conversation and discussion of terms would take longer. It wasn't as if either of them could talk about work, save for vague impressions of the people they saw.
As expected of someone who probably dined alone most of his life, Judar didn't know how to start light conversations over meals. He's thinking and trying to come up with something that wouldn't get him reprimanded, due to their public space. ]
Well, if I'm going to be yours, what kinds of things do you think you should know? Or that I should know?
[Hannibal sipped the wine at his elbow, his expression thoughtful as he looked over at Judar. He does appreciate the fact that other man looks thoughtful, as if he is seriously considering everything said with that.
One corner of his mouth lifted.] Let us start simply. What is your favorite kind of music? Mine is Opera. I have a great love of the Italians.
[ ... Ah. Right to things he didn't really understand, due to the differences in worlds, and in time periods. It's clear that he has to guess to the meaning of those things. Even then, his mental guesses were likely very off the mark. ]
I guess there's some that I liked hearing, but I've got no clue what it's called. Just that it was a lot more fun than the court music we'd play back at the castle. Festival music's a lot more fun, but the stuff I heard was louder and different. It had a lot to the beat, but it didn't seem like it was meant for dancing...
[ It couldn't be surprising that Judar enjoyed things like rock, metal and punk type music. He just didn't know what those things meant. Mostly because he never thought to ask. ]
[... Hannibal also had to remember that they came from different time periods, so what he knew of music and art was vastly different than Judar's.
That and the man simply preferred rock music - a terrible shame.]
I see ... well, what is something you would like to know about me, then? I shall ask you a corresponding question about what you might like for dinner. Or in bed, for that matter."
