Hannibal knows that eye contact is not the easiest thing of Will, and he cherishes it, cherishes the trust and comfort and care that is implicit in something as simple as a gaze. He has watched Will interact with other people, with Dr. Bloom, with Jack, and has noted and observed his tendency to shy away. It's to be expected, considering the fact that Will is likely neurologically atypical. Hannibal prefers not to use convenient labels, since he finds them unhelpful, even lazy. He does note, though, that Jack in particular had on more than one occasion willfully aggravated Will's particular sensitivities. It was rude. And one of a number of reasons he had planned for the man to grace his table. Perhaps he still shall.
Hannibal answers the smile and runs his own hand down Will's side. They are cold and sticky and messy. Hannibal's muscles ache, and surely Will's do as well. Few thing are so soothing as a hot bath.
"Both, as a matter of fact. Which do you prefer? A shower or a bath?"
