Summary
“Hannibal Lecter,” he finally says and extends his hand, he prays the man shakes it.
He eyes it suspiciously for a second, like he didn’t expect the gesture, but grasps it firmly. His hand is warm and rough, littered with tiny cuts and white scars.
“Will Graham,” he introduces himself. “Wow, your hand is cold.” Hannibal didn’t notice. “Sorry, that was rude, uh, are you lost though? Are you alright?” Will asks again, he is yet to let go off Hannibal’s hand and Hannibal sure as fuck is not going to let go first.

“You assumed I would say yes?”
Hannibal smiled. “Assumptions are for people who don't understand each other.”

Summary
"Punishment can be liberation for some," Hannibal says. "Especially those who feel they must atone for the pleasures they revel in."
"It never seemed to me that soft, beautiful things were meant for me," Will admits.
The look Hannibal fixes on him feels like a hand on Will's throat. Vexed. Incredulous. And then smouldering.
"Many things have changed for you as of late, Will. Perhaps this is one of them."
--
Hannibal eases Will into a life of decadence. He takes surprisingly little convincing.

Summary
Will and Hannibal are discussing Mason Verger, his rudeness and Hannibal's infamous tendency to "eat the rude." Amid the conversation, Will has a sudden realization about his own situation. He recalls that he’s far from the most polite person, especially with Hannibal. So what line does Hannibal draw with him? Will is determined to find out.
— You provoke me, yet here you are, shivering like a lamb with a wolf at its throat,— Hannibal murmured, his voice almost gentle but teasing. — Is it bravery, Will? Or something else?.
Will swallowed hard, his throat tight. — I want to know … where the line is.
— And if you cross it? — Hannibal asked.
Will held his gaze, though his knees felt weak. — Then I’ll deal with the consequences.
