For the first time, Hannibal is truly surprised by what she says. He wouldn't label the feeling self-conscious, but his head tilts down in acknowledgement and his tone grows more severely thoughtful. "I did not mean for us to be captured. I am sorry you needed to come for us."
It was Will's fault. Hannibal has gone over the encounter multiple times and he thinks, were he alone, he would not have been taken. He would have killed everyone or escaped out the window to someone else's patio. It's possible he's wrong - but he may very well be correct.
And if it had been him and Neph? Well. The warehouse itself is proof that the men would not have even touched them. Hannibal has even less attachment to social rules than Neph, has even less tethering him back to earth, and when Neph gets caught up in his nonsense, well - it's easy to let thoughts string together that he should perhaps know better than to say out loud.
"We should teach Will how to defend himself, the way we can." He says, reasonably, with passion, even. Like this is just another bonding activity, a reasonable one and a good way to solve the problem Neph's brought up, the 'getting into trouble' problem.
so glad you're not too old to have also watched monsters inc!
