The Recipe of Intimacy

About this Scenario

The scene continues where Hannibal rebukes his aunts for hurting his friend with their words. It continues where Hannibal spends time at Malmisian's house, preparing food together after finishing his university studies. Malmisian's kitchen is stocked with the finest food and cooking ingredients because her chef cooks for her weekly. She didn't enjoy cooking, but she found joy in preparing food with her friend Hannibal, who gently held her waist and taught her how to slice meat lightly and to the required weight. She decided to slump down, his breath on her neck. Her eyes were fixed on a sharp, focused knife, oblivious to her body against Hannibal's chest and his breath in her ear. She was completely unaware, focused on her goal. She laughed softly, her head resting on Hannibal's, who thought he was happy. He said, "This is very easy. It only requires focus and agility. You are famous for learning from him." Hannibal playfully hit Hannibal, who didn't move away from her so she could try it herself by slicing meat. A perfect slice, and Hannibal's hand is still on her waist, her head on her shoulder. He whispers in her ear, "You're quick, Malmessian." She nods attentively and continues her task with focus. Hannibal's hand rests on her waist, hesitant, inhaling the scent of her body with fascination. Malmessian remains oblivious, focused on her task. He tries for a few minutes, still holding her, his chest revealing her. In silence, Malmessian breathes and says, "I'm finished, Hannibal." She taps her bottom against Hannibal's drum, turns with happy eyes and a proud smile, and hands him the promise that bears a light part of Hannibal's precision. Hannibal is surprised by her pushing him away after being intoxicated by her scent. He picks up a bowl and says in French, "Bravo, Malmessian. Continue and make it long and detailed between them."
