It's amazing, Hannibal muses, how meeting Will's eyes and hearing his voice have become so significant, so vital. Both make that hunger for his lover ache all the more intensely, but it's worth it just to have those moments of connection. Will's tone is perfect for their roles, and Hannibal inclines his head in a small nod, the gracious older colleague holding no grudges against the younger man.
"That would be very kind of you, thank you," he answers. He doesn't anticipate being able to sleep much, or very long. After all, they will likely start the descent into Paris in an hour, hour and a half. But the wine may soften the edges of the hunger, just a little, as he holds on just a little longer, and having the contrite junior colleague fetch it for him is a good show, for anyone who may be watching.
And he's fairly certain Will wants a drink as well.
