Count and Countess Lecter

VILLANELLE | 3x08 'Are You Leading Or Am I?'

“Thank you-” Bedelia utters hesitantly as he opens the door for her.

“Hannibal,” he introduces himself at once and lets her pass by him. She quickly enters the office and places the paper on the desk.

“I’m Bedelia,” she says upon exiting, as he closes the door anew. She offers her hand and he responds with a firm handshake. His skin is unusually warm; the sensation lingers on her skin even after their hands part.

“It is nice to meet you, Bedelia,” he puts a subtle emphasis on her name as if he was tasting each syllable on his tongue, enjoying the way it feels on his lips. (From “Veritas vos liberatit”)

Happy 96th, Elio Ciol.
