"I feel the same way," Alcuin said. "Though in addition to that, well... Hannibal's a psychiatrist. Not mine, I guess, not really, but he knows so much about my past, and I know that he thinks that there are some things about my desires that aren't there for healthy reasons."
He paused briefly and then added, his voice a bit quieter, "The tape, the one sent to Hannibal...? He could barely touch me, after he saw it. And it wasn't because of how it made him think of me, it was..." It was hard to explain, was what it was. "Anafiel was the same way, the brief time we were together. Treated me so gently, like glass, afraid of doing anything my clients might have done."
He realized that he was probably talking too much, being too open. Maybe it was the alcohol, but it was also just that he didn't really have anyone to talk to about these things, and Fin was so kind and open in return.
