Also, having reached that bit in Dead and Buried, the moment where Hannibal is absolutely sure that Shaw will lend him money, to Ben's utter disbelief.
Yes. And though I think Hannibal's pretty overwhelmed and not thinking straight at that moment, Shaw probably would lend him the money. It's clearly important.
I don't think Shaw hangs out much with Hannibal, with or without Ben, because I don't think Shaw is aware that time off is a thing that exists. He's pretty much all justice all the time. Which must baffle Hannibal terribly, come to think of it, because Hannibal is not so much with th responsabilities.
Haha, very true. I think Hannibal understands other people having responsibilities, he just isn't good at it himself.
There's a comment in one of the books- though I forget which one- where Shaw says Rose brews terrible coffee. So he must be hanging out at the January's house at least now and then, though maybe just to get Ben's help or opinion on a case. I like the idea of him using Hannibal as a source of information; Hannibal certainly tends to have all the gossip.
Yeah, Hannibal's definitely breaking the rules, while Ben and Shaw follow them, I'm just interested in the degree to which it all matters. Like, is it something that would make people in the street stop and stare? Or is it just mildly inappropriate? And how did they get to that point? I definitely agree about 'Maestro' being a mark of respect. I find it pretty sweet (as much as Shaw is ever overtly affectionate).
