"I would gladly let you drag me to hell."
The leaves were golden and red in the final rays of the setting sun. Autumn smelled delicious. The harvest season guided more spices and pumpkin flavours to the variety of coffeehouses and bakeries. And as the days grew shorter, the air at night was getting colder, crispier, and fresher.
“You should be careful what you wish for, Frederick. The wish pronounced has a better chance of coming true, for better or for worse.” Hannibal offered him a polite smile, tiny and reserved, meant to be merely a social gesture. “And, after all, hell is not a domain of mine... but if you want to be dragged, that is a different topic of conversation.”
They met two years ago at the exhibition. It was a tribute to Mark Rothko, and Hannibal was slowly but steadily growing furious with the lack of taste and common decency of people calling that tribute an exhibition. Hannibal wasn’t the man to waste his time, and that occasion was nothing short of, a complete waste of his time.
Frederick Chilton commented on one of the paintings, a witty and venomous remark, Hannibal heard that – and the rest was history. They got acquainted, then met by chance again, and again, and started exchanging correspondence.
A year later Frederick asked Hannibal who he really was.
And thus, the game began.
I will admit you to be correct only if you are correct in your assumptions, Frederick. Robbing you of the joy of seeking the truth is not something I’d want.
“Tell me about that someone... or something that made you unhappy enough to wish following the steps of Dante.”
Hannibal took a sip of his mulled wine in a tall coffee cup and once again was pleased with the option he insisted on instead of tea or coffee. It was growing colder as the sun was about to dive over the horizon, and Chilton didn’t impress him as a man who enjoys cold.

me: this is a background character who's in one scene, has two lines, and is completely irrelevant to the rest of the story. i am going to stop obsessing over what to name him and use the random name generator on behindthename.com. i am going to accept the first thing it gives me and move the fuck on.
