OOM: AU vamp!Hannibal -- for Sinric

The door opens onto a -- living space, for want of a better word. It is a hall, may have been a ball-room when this house (it is old, for America) was first built; but now, it's a library, a museum, a lair.

There are books, so many books -- book-cases line the walls of the ground floor at intervals, interspersed with 18th and 19th century prints, small paintings, a comfortable blue sofa, a fireplace, a drawing table, more art...

On the mezzanine, there are even more books -- the walls are solid shelves, solidly filled with books. There is a ladder leading up there, but it looks a tad awkward and unused, as if the vampire didn't really need it to get up there.

Pride of place, in the middle of the room, where in the actual Hannibal's Best Office Ever would be the never-used couch, is a comfortable yellow rococo love-seat.

There is a fire in the fireplace, and a bottle of red wine on the drawing table, breathing beside an empty glass.
