Hannibal Lecter/Hannibal Rising/Bar Beyond Spacetime

[mm_sw]

There is a fine young cannibal in the Bar today.

He's brought his lute with him today and is practicing by the fire.

Perfectly botherable, if you don't mind the creepy.

We argue that it's impossible to creep out Nellie. Thus, she goes over in the middle of his rehearsal.

"Nice playing. Have you been at it long?"

If it's time for him to take a break, she was going to make some dinner to practice for tomorrow's specials. It will be good to have someone test them.

"Some time now, yes." He smiles at her. "A break would be nice."

"I was hoping you'd say that," she says with a smile. "I've got a lot of supper that's gonna get cold if I don't have anyone try it. Hope you brought an appetite."

And before she goes to fetch it, she asks, "You're not allergic to anything, are you?"

[lecter_md_phd]

He comes close to laughing.

"Quite the opposite--I've eaten things that no one I've ever met would even try."

Hey look! A fine young not-cannibal has talked someone into finding a theremin for her.

It may work out a little better if she knew how the hell you play the damn thing but, making it make the funny sounds is interesting all by itself. She hasn't noticed that the lute player is someone she knows.

A few moments later:

"You have to do it like this, look."

He gently takes her hand and puts it in the right place.

"See?"

[shreddinsuz]

She blinks up at him, and then moves her the way he's showing her.

"Thanks..." she says, looking at the lute. "It's good to see you again."

[lecter_md_phd]

"And you." He smiles slightly. "How have you been?"
