Not entirely. Certainly a significant percentage of the reason behind his actions lies in his desire to protect me. Which, if you remember, I began this conversation expressing my apologies for. But his experiences do incline him in a certain way, making some unfortunate things more likely.

I do remember. Unfortunately, considering I'm sure he'd do it again in a heartbeat, your apology's as useless as an ice pack.

[He doesn't blame Hannibal. He just wants to understand -]

What are you to him? A lover? Nothing so ordinary. You put up an excellent show, but you're both killers.

Indeed. Had I been there, I could have stopped Will from harming you. But that's rather the point, is it not.

As for what we are to each other...lovers is true but insufficient. We see each other in a way most, if not all, cannot.

I'm sure you could... but I'm not sure you would have.

[Considering what was on the line.]

I am sure you understand why I want to know. Graham is eager to tell me this doesn't have to involve me, but I'd say being killed is plenty of involvement already.
