"You got me there. It's hard not to enjoy this. What were you doing getting your ass beat with a metal bar by a man named Brad?"

// remember that time i made a will blog for the express purpose of rp-ing with your hannibal and then i completely forgot about it? haha yeah... // [runsonfear]: "Dream analysis is a load of bull and you know that."

“You’re not hesitating are you? I assure you, it’s delicious.”

"Just once? I never pegged you for a quitter, Dr. Lecter."
