Not even bothering with the decency of a towel, he stumbles up on his feet, wiping off with a tissue beside the bed on his way to the door.

"You've got at least ten minutes before second wind." Hannibal frowns, only slightly, and hands over a large plate-sized slab with two forks stuck in it. "You could have grabbed a towel."
"You could have waited five minutes."
Hannibal's frown quirks to a near grin and he shook his head; "You're shameless."
"You're going to let us resume our honeymoon." Face smirks, licking his lower lip.
For a moment, Hannibal's silent - taking note of the dark shadows and pink irritation of his Lieutenant's eyes - and then he nods slowly. "As you were. Leave him fit for flying tomorrow, got it?"

"No worries, boss. Doctor Love's on duty."
