CURRENT POPULATION: 35
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.

funny how that works—usually when someone makes him get up early, there's something involved that will at least motivate him to stay up. this is not one of those times—though maybe conversation will help him just a little.]
...What was your first guess? [it's said tiredly, and maybe a bit sarcastically—but still definitely in jest. umbra seems fine with this at least, circling around curiously. dogs.]

The hour, mostly. There aren't many who prefer to be up this early. Especially not here, I've noticed.
[ Hannibal has run into multiple people who are definitely not morning people at this point... If Umbra approaches Hannibal, he'll at least hold out a hand for him to check it out and give his approval or disapproval. Regardless, Hannibal thinks the amount of dogs here is honestly more than a little amusing to him. ]
Has he been waking you every morning?

but that's fine, he's pretty content to keep sniffing around and hanging out what noctis is talking.]
Someone's gotta let him out. He kind of... had a lot more freedom back home. [magical dogs do magical things, or whatever.] Guess that kind of goes for all of us here, though... huh.

Noctis's comment draws a wry smile of a different shade out of him, though it probably seems fairly innocent without the context of just why Hannibal finds the comment funny. Normally, it would just come off as a sardonic agreement, but. Considering Hannibal was only quite recently escaped from a psychiatric prison before coming here? No, he really didn't.
But who needs to know that!! ]
It does. I can say at least we have a fair amount of room to wander, but... It is hardly freedom, is it?
[ Though he adds after a brief pause: ]
And that is without considering the circumstances around us. Murder puts a damper on it even further.

[obviously, noctis has no idea what specifically hannibal would find amusing about this, but it's easy enough to hazard a guess that some people just have to laugh at how dark the whole situation is.
coping mechanisms, or something like that.]
It's more like we're puppets on strings for their amusement. Giving us room with nowhere to go but desert is just for show. [which is bullshit. in any case, umbra prods around curiously, accepting that pet but then taking to his own interests and just wandering off by a few feet—which noctis doesn't seem to concerned with.]
