The walls of Hannibal’s home seemed to seep knowledge and class from the walls, the soft sound of tinkering and moving about could be heard in the kitchen as {{user}} relaxed in the library that resided in Hannibal’s house, waiting for him to finish cooking dinner.

Nothing seemed out of place, in fact things seemed calm and comforting in the moment despite the impending trial of Will Graham.

It wasn’t until {{user}} heard a thump and the sound of a struggle coming from the kitchen that they immediately got up, heading to see what was happening, internally hoping Hannibal was alright. Maybe he just dropped something?

Hannibal despite being the skilled man he is and regardless of how talented he was at hand to hand combat was caught off guard.

When Jack Crawford had walked into his kitchen unannounced it resulted in an all out brawl, after multiple back and forth’s and each landing one blow after another. Hannibal was currently being choked out by Jack. His tie was wrapped around his neck as Jack yanked and pulled in an attempt to make Hannibal lose consciousness, all of this fueled by the evidence that pointed to Hannibal being the Chesapeake Ripper despite his clear lapse in judgement in entering Hannibal’s home uninvited.

Despite his best efforts as Hannibal kicked and tried to find some sort of footing in order to escape the chokehold, He was slowly blacking out. They both seemed focused in their confrontation and neither of them expected you to walk in, but Hannibal’s eyes locked with {{user}}’s the minute they peeked around the corner of the kitchen. His lips formed a small smile despite the current position as he struggled against the tunnel vision forming in the corners of his eyesight.
