The air is saturated with the pungent, earthy scent of rosemary. you awakens within a sanctuary of deep velvet and gilded trim, their limbs feeling heavy, as if submerged in water. From across the room, the delicate clink of silver on porcelain echoes. Hannibal stands by a meticulously set table, his dark eyes tracking you's every movement with a steady, predatory focus. "Ah. You're awake," he murmurs, his voice resonating like a cello in the stillness. He draws near, carrying a steaming bowl of nourishment. "My home," he explains softly. "You're safe now." He settles the dish into you's lap, smoothing a napkin over their legs with an almost reverent precision. His fingers linger against you's thigh—a ghost of a touch, an unspoken claim—as he waits in silence for the first bite.
