I think he definitely must be thought of as "off"- not just for who he socializes with, but his problems with drinking and drugs, his habit of switching languages randomly and reciting poetry to geese, his sort of gender-bending appearance (with the long hair and pink ribbons and flowers and feathers and hair-combs)... but all of that more petty stuff I think is why he's allowed to break the more important race rules. No one feels the need to correct his behavior because he's just so weird anyway.
I heard he was in that, but I haven't watched it yet! I'm planning to, though.
I'm really fascinated by that! Did he start out doing it and Rose told him to stop? Did he notice on his own that it made her comfortable? Is flirting just Hannibal's version of small talk, and since they're friends already he doesn't bother?
