"A general statement..."
He didn't know whether to be amused or annoyed with this male. The coffee was served and he smiled and thanked the girl before taking his to a table and sipping it softly, toying with one of the potions in his pocket.

Joe followed suite. Hannibal, with his soft spoken voice and vagueness appeared to have Joe's full attention.
"Will you tell me about yourself?"
He asked him, showing every bit of bluntness that he was known for.

Hannibal watched him. "Whatever for?" His eyes were narrowed. Either this boy was stupid and had never heard of Hannibal Lecter or was stupid and didn't care....

He started on his mug of black coffee as Hannibal responded to his request with a question.
"I'm not one who is easily led to believe rumours"
He admitted smiling. He knew Hannibal's reputation and had had grounds to believe it, yet, his obvious ignorance of that reputation was something that should proof to the other pony that Joe didn't believe in rumours.
"And there are some nasty rumours flying about in regards to yourself"

He chuckled. "And you want to know how I came about such a state of mind."

"Noo.. I want to know if the rumours do you justice"
He thoughtfully replied. He knew the rumours concerning himself made him out to be ruthless and not someone to be crossed. Not that that was always true, the few select that knew him well knew that underneath the moral-less man lay a loyal friend.
For now though, his attention was on Hannibal and finding out more about his potential lover.

"I'll cross you off here." He tossed him the bottles back. "I'm not a lover of men and never will be. So scratch me off your list."
With another sip of his coffee, tasting the sweet irish creme, he let his glittering eyes rest on Joe.
"Now...which rumors do you speak of? the ones where I kill and eat my victims? My prefrence for killing?"

He let his amusement show as Hannibal returned the bottles.
"Never thought you were"
He admitted. It was part of why those two bottles existed, to make sure that he stood a chance, as a female, with Hannibal. But then, Hannibal had chosen to not test the content of the bottles and was unaware of Joe's plans.
"How about both?"
He challenged. As the alcohol started to wear off and the caffeine took over, his mind cleared enough to sense a certain amount of arrogance emitting from Hannibal, the type of arrogance he displayed himself every time someone did something stupid in front of him that would get them hurt.

Not one for revealing his secrets, Hannibal watched him.
"Why should I explain myself to you?"
If anything, maybe he could kill him for finding out about himself....He toyed with that thought then decided against it. The boy was simply stupid. He hadn't done or really said anything to cross Hannibal and put him on the Next to Kill list...

Joe shrugged.
"Why not? Do you really have that much to hide?"

"To know a person is to get close to that person. Why would you get close to me?"
He challenged softly. Hardly anyone else except his little sister would even think about approaching him....

He looked straight at Hannibal then, judging if blatant bluntness would get him anywhere or if a more diplomatic dance of words was appropriate.
"Several reasons spring to mind. One, we're sharing coffee and I usually don't do that unless I'm willing to get close to that person. The other reason would be that I believe both of us have to offer something to the other person. Your reputation makes you a dangerous man. I'd much prefer you on my side than on the other side"
He took another sip of coffee before finishing his speech.
"And finally, despite the fact that you are not a lover of men, you have a great body, and if I could, I'd turn female to sleep with it"

Hannibal laughed. A full blown laugh that wasn't a chuckle.
"You would have to defy physical logic in order to perform that trick."
A smart man for figuring out which side of the fence to be on....yet would that prove enough to keep him safe?
"A little history lesson...I was born and grew up during the 2nd world war. Parents were killed, my sister and I taken by people calling themselves Nazis. The same people took my sister and killed her, eating her flesh."
If that wasn't a good clue to what started Hannibal's obsessive behavior that earned his rep, He'd have to just to do something to put it through his skull.

He looked a little dodgy when Hannibal mentioned defying physical logic, but let him continue speaking. At least, Hannibal seemed to be the type that one could reason with, especially given that he appeared to be opening up.
"Explains a fair bit. If I may guess? That'd make you hate everyone with blond hair and blue eyes?"
So far, Hannibal seemed like a good guy. Sure, he had a few funny quirks there, most of which were deserved, but all up, not someone he needed to be afraid of, especially as he didn't have the hair that would mark him as one of Hannibal's enemies.

"One had blonde hair and blue eyes....Perhaps two. Both are dead. though not eaten. My first victims weren't eaten. Merely killed and disected like such."
A few more sips of coffee. "But no...I don't hate everyone."
