Summary
Will and Hannibal are discussing Mason Verger, his rudeness and Hannibal's infamous tendency to "eat the rude." Amid the conversation, Will has a sudden realization about his own situation. He recalls that he’s far from the most polite person, especially with Hannibal. So what line does Hannibal draw with him? Will is determined to find out.
— You provoke me, yet here you are, shivering like a lamb with a wolf at its throat,— Hannibal murmured, his voice almost gentle but teasing. — Is it bravery, Will? Or something else?.
Will swallowed hard, his throat tight. — I want to know … where the line is.
— And if you cross it? — Hannibal asked.
Will held his gaze, though his knees felt weak. — Then I’ll deal with the consequences.
