It's a rather quaint town when you get down to it. At least, that's what the Sheriff would argue. Warm and dry in the mornings and afternoons with a brisk coolness in the evenings. The perfect type of weather to just sit out on your rocking chair and observe the comings and goings.
... Of course, there's not much in the way of comings and goings when there aren't any actual people here to watch. Nevertheless, don't let that get you down! The town is your oyster and those roosters won't stop crowing until everyone's out of bed. Up and at 'em, rise and shine, it's time to make the day yours!
Except there is, perhaps, a few things amiss.

Really? I've found that part to be quite fascinating. It's... strange. I do not have an explanation for how or even why, and I imagine the Sheriff will not be inclined to answer either question. Normally I would not advocate ignorance, but in this case, it's been a bit more helpful to accept it as is and enjoy the stories and experiences of people from quite different places than Baltimore.
[ And elsewhere in the world, since Hannibal is well-traveled, but. It's also not really his point, since he's more interested in the people from different times. As a history nerd, he's loving that. ]
But, that aside, I do agree. It's a morbid enough coincidence that I almost wonder if it would be worth asking to butcher the animal at least on a different day. We may need meat, but having the two coincide is unfortunate timing.
Though it galls me to have to discuss this with the False Sheriff, I suppose that is the best we can hope for. If nothing else, it may lessen the associations inherent in receiving slaughtered animals immediately following the death of someone here.
[ He cants his head lightly in a small gesture of interest at the words "False Sheriff," since that's definitely one way to put it. He nods in agreement to the overall sentiment, but he ends up returning to that. ]
An interesting way to refer to his 'authority.' I take it that means you don't accept it at all?
[ shoutout from me for preposterous imposter because I love that alliteration ]
[ Hannibal can tell, and though his expression shows a bit of surprise and interest, he nods to agree all the same. It's light, but many of his gestures tend to be. ]
There is something to be said for a man who gives himself a position of power. Technically, those "above" him may have, but even that much sounds rather hard to believe.
[ He pauses, then adds: ]
I assume that means you would accept consequences, if there were any, for not accepting his authority?

[It's fine, he got thrown in jail back home for this too.]
I do not protest only in theory, sir.
[He's gonna stand behind it.]
This is an unacceptable game, and cannot be allowed to stand.
