[ When the first part of her confession comes, Hannibal is surprised, but not judgemental at all. His reaction is little more than a surprised raise of his eyebrows, because truth be told, it's not the first time he's heard someone confess this sort of thing to him. It even comes with the same amount of gravity, but to himself, Hannibal does think that this is the first time he would be inclined to believe it. With the oddity of their situation and the stories he's already heard, he can at least accept the crux of her concern as something more "real" than he perhaps understands.
He leans forward as she continues, giving her words his full attention. He rests his arms on his legs, and there's an openness and casual way that he's approaching her. It's not to diminish her worries, but rather, to make her feel more accepted and comfortable, at least in his presence. ]

[ He'll get to her age too, but one thing at a time here. He'll start with the basic, but he's sure also the most complicated. ]
