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.]

Bob sighed. "You mean you used to be exciting, and you turned into boring."

//I can't help if I'm a fighter, not a lover,// Jono countered with a 'what can you do' shrug of his shoulders. //I did turn into the sort of boring who actually flipped through the pages of the last novel I picked up to make certain there are some decent sex scenes in there, though.//

Just for you, Bob. You ungrateful lech.

Awww, Jono cared!

"Are there?" Bob perked up. "Wonderful!"

From:

//And a busty woman on the cover that I'll have to hide when there are other customers in the shop,// Jonothon added, in a tone that would have been a sigh, if only. //Presumably to give somebody something to look at while the book is being read.//

Somebody. Jono wasn't saying who. But somebody.

"Oh, don't worry; I have an excellent imagination." Bob leered. "Glad to hear it, though."

From:

//But I'm still boring?//

Jono needed to check.

From:

"As far as your party and sex life, yes," Bob said firmly. "Dreadfully dull."

From:

furnaceface

//Well, if you can come up with a better reason for me to change that than that you find me boring, I'd love to hear it,// Jono decided. //Anyway, you've seen Hannibal's parties. People chat over dinner. There's hardly any room for lechery at all.//

And it was still a step up from Jono's idea of a party, which mostly just involved sitting around on an old sofa, watching bad movies and throwing popcorn at the screen.

Bob gave a huge sigh. "Yes, I know."

Honestly, how could even a cannibal be so damn boring?

...scratch that thought. It was probably best Hannibal was boring lately.

Oh lord, Bob. No, never wish for Hannibal to be more interesting. That could only end in tears, artfully arranged bodies, and a meal that made creative use of the phrase, 'the vegetarian option.'

//Maybe you'll luck out this year and somebody more interesting than the two of us will start throwing wild orgies. Just for you.//
