[ Hannibal at least agrees with Will that provoking Percy had come a bit early, but randomly picking people for the stocks was a bit boring. He always wanted a reason, and in the absence of no one truly deserving of their brush against death that would come from being put in the stocks, he had to find a different one. There was no rudeness or idiocy so great that he felt the need to punish them, and so instead, he thought to pursue something more interesting.
He looks to Will and Winston as they reorganize themselves on the couch, and Hannibal's smile is nothing short of fond despite the macabre topic. Those two moments may as well have been spoken by two different people for how Hannibal reacts to them. The casual discussion of his crimes contrasted against the warmth of his enjoyment of the domesticity was why Hannibal Lecter was such a chilling personality. At least, once you knew what he truly was. ]
But no, I did not. Technically speaking, even the stocks are clearly a gamble. I fully expected Jason to die, but they did not take the opportunity. Annabeth was unlucky that the other people who felt like murdering were more opportunistic.

They will at least come together, I think. Their loss will unite them, and they will pursue the guilty party viciously. Grief and anger mix together, and in it, they may make a new friend.
[ Hannibal holds up his fork with a stab of heart on the end, looking at it pensively, but with a small smile. ]
Percy and I spoke of eliminating the selfish so that the whole could benefit. I wonder how he would feel about that now? Were he the survivor, would he look at the people dead at his feet and lift them back up again? Or would he only take Annabeth's hand and leave the rest? That's what I'm curious to see. In the meantime, I'm paying our way. With any luck, we may see Cuba yet.
