Hannibal's impulse was to have a huge party and plan an entire menu and drinks menu for it; any excuse. But after spending their vacation in the quiet (if cold) arctic circle, then continuing to relax as much as possible, Hannibal was disinclined to undo all of that work by insisting on a crowd for New Year's Eve.

So, a quiet evening in, with the cats and each other and a glass of very good champagne.

As the clock ticked closer to midnight, Hannibal stretched out on the couch and smiled at Jono. "Well?"



[OOC: For the one mentioned, but open, why not? I'm up for interrupted evenings.]

//Barring unforeseen circumstances, at least? There'll always be uncontrollable nonsense when we least expect it, but some time take to just center ourselves every year couldn't hurt, either...//

Jono would be all for making the ice hotel a regular thing.

//Well, the last uncontrollable nonsense I had to deal with over a new year was getting this body back,// Jono mused. //Would've taken a bit of creative mental tap-dancing to turn that to my favour, but I seem to be doing well enough now. Takes a bit of time, sometimes. Time and work.//

//True enough, but it didn't make for the greatest New Year I've ever had,// Jono noted, wryly. //This one's definitely a step up on that. Quiet. Comfortable. The comfortable bit is nice. I know where I stand with things. There aren't any voices chewing at the back of my head that I'm not already used to.//

It would have been easy to just shrug and say that he really had no clue, but to Jonothon's credit, he actually gave that question the consideration it was due.

//This time next year? Maybe I'd have taken another few steps toward being that force for positive change that I feel like I ought to be. Hell, maybe I'd even be able to grin at you while I say something like that. Maybe kiss you once the year rolls over...//

//You suppose you might?// Jono gave Hannibal a wink, lifting an empty hand as though toasting Hannibal in turn. //If you do, it means you'll have to start cooking for two much sooner, granted.//

It also meant that Jono would on occasion insist on taking over the kitchen to make his own fish and chips, as greasy as he pleased.

//Manage, hm? You'll simply manage, and won't, in fact, take some manner of sadistic joy out of watching my face for reactions to things I haven't tasted since forever ago?//

Really, Jono wouldn't blame people for slapping video of his reactions to certain foods up on the internet.

//You're going to paint me again and then hang the painting in a very accessible part of the house right when we're about to have guests over, aren't you?//

//The greatest hits collection of all of my most ridiculous faces?//

That seemed worth taking a moment to double-check. Because... that sounded about right, anyway. Jono made some fairly ridiculous faces, when he was able.

The raised eyebrow that Jono gave Hannibal at that suggested that, maybe, he was well aware of just how stupid he could look when he was astonished.

//I suppose it'd definitely be a good pick-me-up if ever you were in need of a good chuckle,// he allowed. //At least there's that.//

Jono gave Hannibal and the cat both a warm look, settling back as well and reaching to give Joni a scratch behind the ear. She was already fast asleep, which meant that Jonothon was probably trapped forever.

It was nice knowing you, world.

//Well, then I suppose the only thing for it is for me to get working on that so you can properly appreciate my stupid faces,// he decided. //As nature intended.//
