[ He realizes he's glad to see Will here as he takes a seat on the other couch as not to disturb Winston. For many reasons, naturally, but ever since he had learned that Will's empathy had been increased here to keep him from helping too much, Hannibal had been concerned, in his way.
It doesn't stop him from being social with the people of the town in the slightest, but it means in moments like this, Hannibal tends to be more thoughtful. He knows that they find the most comfort in each others' presence. He hopes their evenings spent together help soothe the cacophony of emotion that Will must feel with the circumstances here.

A savory, hand-butchered meal after a surgery was quite a treat. But once he's taken in the flavor, he looks to Will in a sidelong glance as he cuts another piece. ]
