[28.]

[glass_ofchianti]

Have you ever had the experience of something burning in the back of the passageways of your mind, its flames licking at everything around it as though it fixed to leave nothing else in your head but that? Even my studies have failed to suppress it so far this week.


I am aching to get out of this hospital, by the way, to any of our lovely staff that notice this journal entry. It would be hard for anyone to argue that I haven't been on very good behavior for quite some time now.~

And a very happy (and belated) birthday to dear George. I do hope you're not going to celebrate living another year by smoking a death stick!

Ah, so I should put this cigarette down right about now, huh?

I'd be more than happy to accompany you outside of his horrible prison somewhere. What did you have in mind? Maybe we can talk about this burning in the back of your mind a bit? ♥

[glass_ofchianti]

I thought you quit smoking, but I suppose it's just too alluring of a practice to commit to ending entirely? It's very sensual, after all, letting the cigarette rest against your lips and the smoke warmly caress your lungs... Terrible for you, however.

Perhaps we can; I would like that. Where would you accompany me to, though, and how do you propose to talk about my burning mind in public?

[dark_horse]

Many things are terrible for people, like driving cars, or sleeping with hookers. The risk makes it all exciting!

Where ever you'd like, I'm not picky. We could find some privacy in public though: a park, a corner of a little café...off the top of my head.

That burning in the back of your mind wouldn't be chlamydia, would it? Because if so whoever gave it to has a VERY impressive money shot when you give them head.

[boredcertified]

I guess you would know about those things being exciting?

[dark_horse]

[boredcertified]

I didn't say it was you; maybe it was that hooker you mentioned earlier.

[dark_horse]

That would make two of us, wouldn't it?

[dark_horse]

I happen to know it isn't chlamydia, kthanks~

[boredcertified]

Hey, I'm not ashamed of helping some poor women pay for that college education that I'm sure won't go to waste when they get in an abusive relationship down the road....

Anyway, just surprised you pay for sex when you seem to have a pretty easy time finding people willing to have sex with you.

[glass_ofchianti]

And dating sociopaths?

Well, we've already done a show and a café, so it seems a park is next!

[glass_ofchianti]

Of course it would be; you're so clever. Aren't you, Gregory? No wonder you're such a prestigious doctor-- oh.

[glass_ofchianti]

I appreciate you defending my honor, dear.~

[dark_horse]

Damn!

[dark_horse]

Is that a joke? You're anything but a sociopath, Hannibal.

Well...since it's still cold this time of year, how about we hit a café for some coffee, and then a park?

[dark_horse]

I haven't paid for sex in a long time, actually...

[own_yourself]

Hey, maybe at some point we could double-date, unless you'd find that inappropriate? I don't want to overstep boundaries!

Otherwise, we three should at least have another chat sometime, in a more casual setting than my office. :)

[dark_horse]

Psh, not inappropriate at all...well, aside for Hannibal's firey hot loathing for Landa. Perhaps we can act as buffers and maybe, just maybe, they'll find some sort of kinship? :O

[glass_ofchianti]

I'm happy to hear that.

[dark_horse]

Aww, why's that?

[glass_ofchianti]

Of course I'm not, but most law enforcement seems to think so and I do feel pressured to keep up appearances!

If you insist; I'll pick the café, though.

And Jadzia, I think that's a lovely idea, and I suspect Landa will agree out of an interest to keep up appearances himself.

[dark_horse]

Oh, I've noticed. I happen to prefer when you're more open, and candid. ♥

So long as it has coffee, I'm happy!

[glass_ofchianti]

It can't possibly be shocking that I wouldn't want to know you'd recently been paying for sex with hookers, now can it?

[glass_ofchianti]

You don't enjoy tea as much after being in America so long?

[dark_horse]

Recently been paying for sex? Of course I wouldn't be -- even if I were single, since as Greg said, I would hardly have to persuade a certain large group of females (and males) into sleeping with me.

I'm just being funny, by the way.

Of course I wouldn't, since I'm perfectly pleased with our situation thus far. ♥

[dark_horse]

I like both, but I can't manage to make a latté with a regular old coffee maker. (Or, rather, it just isn't the same when you triple the amount of coffee grinds to make makeshift espresso, and boil milk instead of steaming it. It's...ugh, I don't want to remember that taste.)

[glass_ofchianti]

Of course you're being funny; I was under the impression you'd stopped whoring yourself off a couple years ago, after all.

I am as well. ♥

[glass_ofchianti]

You could easily make a tea latte, though, by boiling the milk! It's simply something that requires some finesse, and if you're not busy later I will gladly stop by and show you.

[derhabicht]

I think I could survive a double-date involving Hannibal...I mean, I made it out alive that one time when he grabbed my gun from me, held me at gunpoint, and promised me my brains were going to become the latest wall decorations for that room.

It should be fine!

[dark_horse]

Hmm, I don't know. Sounds like it would taste...odd, but I suppose I'm willing to try anything once!

[own_yourself]

You're either trying to guilt me about suggesting it, or you're just...trying to be sarcastic. The former isn't going to work, I'll have you know. ♥

I'm glad you're being so positive about this! Next Tuesday I'm free.~

[derhabicht]

No, I knew it wouldn't work, so I went with the sarcastic approach. ♥

I suppose I am, too.
