Very well.

[ Hannibal yanks the man down none too gently, hunger and this man's bad luck to be the doppelganger for someone so despised making it impossible to care about his comfort. He'll be dead anyway. Yet for all of that, Hannibal is still neat. He bites into the man's neck carefully, without tearing or making a bloody mess of it. And he doesn't suck the blood down in great, impolite gulps.

He drinks with measured calm, slaking his thirst as if it were not as bad as it is. As the edge of it dulls, so does at least some of his ennui. Whether it's proximity or happenstance or something else, he watches Javert throughout the process. Not with malice or aggression, but a mixture of curiosity, acceptance, and interest.

It seems that the time he's been dead has not been particularly kind to Javert. Has something happened? Has Javert lost someone for whom he cares? Hannibal doesn't know. But in thanks for the meal, he thinks perhaps he can do a little to improve matters. ]
