An independent Nigel from Charlie Countryman, as redeemed by Sunshine

[primejdios]

❛ I was worried you were dead. ❜

❝ Were you now ? ❞

IT WASN'T HIS FIRST NEAR-DEATH EXPERIENCE, and it probably won't be his last. But this is the first time in a long time that Nigel can recall someone expressing concern over it, someone caring enough to worry if he lived or died.

He can't help but be charmed, even if the person in question is definitely forbidden fruit   --   Will Graham is his brother's property, marked clearly and explicitly long before Nigel ever met him.  And Hannibal had never been one to share his toys.  (  The danger makes the temptation fiercer, the eventual taste all the more sweet.  He may be Adam in this metaphor, the second to taste, but Adam was cast out alongside the first to bite. )

It’s that risk, that defiance, that playful dalliance with the flame, that has him smirking up at Will as he wipes a smear of blood from his own lip.  ❝ I’d have nearly died sooner, darling, if I knew that would get me your attention. ❞

NBC’s HANNIBAL SEASON ONE SENTENCE STARTERS

❛ Everyone has thought about killing someone, one way or another. ❜

❛ I imagine what you see and learn touches everything else in your mind. ❜

❛ Don’t psychoanalyze me. You won’t like me when I’m psychoanalyzed. ❜

❛ I don’t find you that interesting. ❜

❛ Last time he sent me to a dark place I brought something back. ❜

❛ You’ve been terribly rude. What’s to be done about that? ❜

❛ Did you really feel so bad because killing him felt so good? ❜

❛ Killing must feel good to God, too… He does it all the time, and are we not created in His image? ❜

❛ It isn’t very smart to piss off a guy who thinks about killing people for a living. ❜

❛ So killing somebody, even if you have to do it, it feels that bad? ❜

❛ You beginning to appreciate my lack of sympathy? ❜

❛ Abandonment requires expectation. ❜

❛ Passion’s good. Gets blood pumping. ❜

❛ Human emotions are a gift from our animal ancestors. Cruelty is a gift humanity has given itself. ❜

❛ It’s getting harder and harder to make myself look. ❜

❛ It’s a really very dull story, though, isn’t it? The ending is always the same, and that same is that it ends. ❜

❛ I didn’t count on changing as much as I did. ❜

❛ I can give you the majesty of your becoming. ❜

❛ The effect I was hoping to have was her death. Mission accomplished. ❜

❛ Here we are. A bunch of psychopaths helping each other out. ❜

❛ Words are living things. They have personality, point of view, agenda. ❜

❛ Being alone has a dull ache to it, doesn’t it? ❜

❛ I see enough of you to see the truth of you. ❜

❛ Psychopaths are not crazy. They’re fully aware of what they do and the consequences of those actions. ❜

❛ You spend a lot of time building walls. It’s natural to see if someone is clever enough to climb over them. ❜

❛ It’s nice when someone sees us. Or has the ability to see us. ❜

❛ I was worried you were dead. ❜

❛ I feel like I have dragged you into my world. ❜

❛ I don’t care about the lives you save; I care about your life, and your life is separating from reality. ❜

❛ You didn’t secure your legacy ; You murdered it. ❜

❛ Insane isn’t really black or white, is it? ❜

❛ We can tell no one. What we are doing here is the right thing. ❜

❛ Everybody decides their own versions of the truth. ❜

❛ I know what monsters are. You’re a victim. ❜

❛ You must overcome these delusions that are disguising your reality. ❜

❛ I feel like I’m fading. ❜

❛ Stability requires strong foundations. My moorings are built on sand. ❜

❛ I know what kind of crazy I am and this is not that kind of crazy. ❜

❛ I may be crazy, but you look ill. ❜

❛ I feel like hell. Actually, no, I feel, uh, fluid, like I’m spilling. ❜

❛ I feel like I’m losing my mind. I-I don’t know what’s real. ❜

❛ I don’t know if I will ever be myself again. I don’t know if I’ve got any “self” left over. ❜

❛ Madness can be a medicine for the modern world. ❜

❛ This wasn’t supposed to be my life. ❜

❛ Some places are stained now. Some people too. I know I am. ❜

❛ I was curious what would happen. ❜

❛ I’m sorry I couldn’t protect you in this life. ❜

❛ I thought I would get better. ❜

❛ I could use a good scream. I can feel one perched under my chin. ❜

❛ Guess you dodged a bullet with me. ❜

❛ I know who I am. But I am not so sure that I know who you are anymore. ❜

❛ I am who I’ve always been. The scales have just fallen from my eyes. ❜

❛ You know, in my time I’ve seen people broken by the world. I’ve seen them broken in all kinds of hideous and offhanded ways, but never like this. ❜

"I don't think there's a family more anti-people than ours." (from Rux)

❝ And what's the problem with that, huh ? ❞

He nudges his daughter with his elbow, playfully, tossing a grin her way. Of the children, Nigel sometimes liked to think that Ruxandra was the most like him -- Protective, quick-tempered, and leaps and bounds more outgoing than her twin or her other father.

❝ We're a family who knows who we like and who we don't, drăguţă, and if other people don't like it, they can just mind their own business. ❞

“Whoa, when did you get this?”

“Who did this to you?”

“Hold still— I need to clean it.”

“I’m supposed to believe this was an accident?”

“Damn— I’d hate to see the other guy.”

“Does this hurt when I touch it?”

“What the hell, ___? Another fight?”

“What the hell happened to your face?”

“Why are you so calm about this? You’re really hurt.”

“I think your arm is broken. It’s not supposed to bend like that.”

“Here, let me help you with that.”

“You’re bleeding a lot. Too much. Apply more pressure. I’m calling an ambulance.”

“Did you think I was gonna leave you like this?”

“Instead of helping you, they ran off? What an asshole.”

“You need to be more careful. You keep getting hurt like this and you’ll put yourself out of commission.”

“Let me grab the first-aid kit. Don’t move.”

“So, do you wanna explain to me what the hell happened?”

“You look really pale. Sit down. I don’t need you fainting before I get this stitched-up.”

“I’m not blaming you, I’m just saying this looks awfully suspicious.”

“How many of them were there? This doesn’t look like one man’s doing.”

“Sit still. I need to clean this before it gets infected.”

“Wiggle your fingers. I need to make sure it’s not broken.”

“This is gonna hurt. A lot. But it’ll be quick. I need to pop it back into place.”

“I told you not to act recklessly like that. You might think you’re protecting me, but you’re gonna get yourself killed if you keep jumping in like that.”

“That was really close this time. Too close. Please, promise me you’re gonna listen to me and be more careful in the future.”

So I’m having an issue where my laptop doesn’t seem to want to charge. I’m going to try to take it and have it looked at but, fair warning, I might be mobile-bound for a bit
