[That name wipes the smirk off Eddie's face. His easy confidence dims in that moment, his face gains a lighter pallor.]
Doctor Hannibal Lecter.
[Doctor Hannibal Lecter.]
I see.
[Hey, they have movies in DC land, even Eddie himself has alluded to some horror cinema. His favored genres seem to be mysteries and horror, which rather sums up a lot of his canon arcs, really. The man's a narcissist even on a meta level.
But he isn't going to jump to conclusions -- for one thing, this fellow is not Sir Anthony Hopkins. And the multiverse is so vast, what if he's simply a man who shares the name? Or, what if he is a fractal of the Hannibal Lecter, but one who isn't a homicidal cannibal? What if he's simply a doctor? There have been plenty of examples of not-from-the-same-universe case studies within the City, plenty of reflections of people. The possibilities grow infinite the more one dwells.
At the very least, Eddie refrains from immediate judgement. Lest he appear rude.
He really does not want to appear rude.]
A pleasure, then, to make your acquaintance.
[He offers his hand, even as his eyes linger on those tomatoes.]
I'd be careful, giving out that name. Your name. As imPorts collect here from various, ah, universes, people often have curious insight to the personal lives of others. Regardless if that insight is accurate to the individual, I mean.
[Eddie's from Gotham, he isn't perpetually put-off by cannibalism -- it isn't as if he hasn't killed annoying people, too, back in the day. He just greatly appreciates the benefit of a good relationship with this man, just in case.]
