Will laughs softly, unable to help himself. One thing about Hannibal he's always appreciated is his dry sense of humor, though there was a period of time where some of it felt a great deal more macabre than it does to Will now. The man at the end of their row shifts in his sleep but doesn't stir, and Will thinks his slight outburst was quiet enough that no one else will have noticed it. And, if they did, two traveling companions sharing a laugh isn't the strangest thing in the world, even if they aren't close friends.
"I have to say," Will offers, his voice low but conversational, "I'm more than a little excited to try the wine."
Again, as with everything they say to each other, there are layers in this statement. Will does fully intend to sample French wine, imagining the enjoyment Hannibal will get from selecting the bottles and then recording Will's reactions. But he isn't only talking about wine.
Like the expanded options of grape varieties Paris has to offer, there is a whole world of experiences awaiting Will and Hannibal in France. The ones Will is most looking forward to are those they'll discover in the bedroom, but beyond that there's a consummation they haven't yet partaken, one Will's sure isn't too far off, once they're sure they've hidden themselves well enough that a Parisian or two disappearing won't immediately send the FBI to search for them. There's an excitement of anticipation in that too, separate from but just as insistent as his desire to know Hannibal's body as intimately as he can.
