Paris is a gateway into a wider world for both of them in so many respects. Hannibal is eager to share many things about Paris (and Europe in general) that any more worldly person might enjoy introducing a less experienced friend to. But for Hannibal, and for Will, so much of the exploration will be internal, exploring each other's minds and hearts. Hannibal finds, much to his fascination, that he is almost as eager to explore his own psyche with Will as he is to explore his lover's mind. Hannibal is used to being in utter control, in remaining constant, eternal, and only revealing himself in deliberate glances. Yet now, with Will, he's feeling a sea change deep in his being. Will not only has access, he has influence, and Hannibal is curious to see how this connection, this love, might alter his very being.
Hannibal holds Will's gaze as he slowly takes a sip, then lowers it, considering his glass. "One thing I can certainly promise," he says, amused, "is that the wine is much better."
