12. Mea...culpa?

[Public, video]

[They're the kitchen of Dillon's parents' house: relentlessly suburban, a few southwestern touches, from the touristy Navajo-ish vase on the table to the sepia color palette, well-coordinated. There are floral magnets on the fridge, and one Hannibal Lecter humming as he makes what appears to be gourmet tomato soup and fresh-baked bread. He's wearing an open lab coat over his suit that he grabbed while attempting to join an infirmary shift, right before Dillon hurriedly hustled him out.]

I kind of...fixed him.

[Not like you fix a car; Hannibal wasn't broken, he was himself. Like you fix a dog.]

I thought it would wear off but it hasn't, and his room is the same so it doesn't count for graduation but I don't. Actually know how to undo it.

He's not faking, either.

[Voice pitched more deliberately across the room, though he hasn't been been whispering or anything; Hannibal could have heard him before if he was listening.

Hey, Hannibal, say sorry to the nice people.

[Hannibal pauses, sets down the wooden spoon and turns to the comm, contrite, shifting, a little uncertain.]

I'm terribly sorry for what I've done. It seems almost unreal, but I do not mean to belittle anyone's suffering. I apologize.

[Dillon waves him back to the soup.]


[Private to Jean]

I'm pretty sure what you do is more. Versatile, than mine. I know it's a lot to ask, but could you check and see if you can reverse it?

Dillon.

[Reproachful. Almost maternal, which is a good hint that she's not entirely serious.]

Well, that's not very polite of him.

You really should have asked, you know.

Hmm.

[HMMM.]

Are you going to put him back, Dillon?

Did I ask that?

No.

What did you do?

I thought you could unbake a muffin.

[You little nerd.]
routemistress: (yeees?)

[personal profile] routemistress 2014-08-03 03:55 am (UTC)(link)
how - no, I know how.

why??


[It's hilarious.]

Why? [Her voice is still croaky, her face still painful. She still wants to kill Hannibal herself.]

Then who, exactly, is going to undo what you did?

[personal profile] darknessb4me 2014-08-03 04:12 am (UTC)(link)
I don't know why I'm surprised. It's what you're hired for, after all. Do the rest of the ship and get it over with.

The Admiral is a hypocrite.

[Arthas inclines his head to indicate Hannibal, in the background.]

Put him on.
