Life, it seems, had taken on some sort of routine, whether or not that routine was actually preferable. Stay at the... place they were staying at (certainly not home), go out for a few things but mostly patrol, go back. The bar had stopped inserting itself, and while he was grateful to not have to discuss things, he wasn't grateful for the absence.

But his routine had changed in the last few days, mostly because his father had decided he deserved some sort of break. He'd protested, and tried his best not to, but in the end got ushured off because his father was even more stubborn than he was. So it's been a lot less stressful, and now it seems that the bar is inserting itself once more.

Because instead of ending up where he wants to go, he ends up there instead.

He really has no idea if he's grateful or reluctant about it. He supposes he'll just have to decide after sitting here for awhile in a booth, and seeing who comes around.

"If my help is needed there," Connor says, "I won't avoid it. That wouldn't be right."

If there was a face on this man, he might have smiled. Even a little.

"You're too kind, Connor. I wouldn't want it to taint you, as it has to others. But that is... a respectable part of you. Yes... maybe I don't have to watch you long to know that you're respectable."

"Why thank you," Connor says, a bit surprised by the statement. "I find you to be respectable as well." At least what he'd seen of him.

"Don't let your kindness blind you. Because you'll change your mind on that sentiment," he remarked quietly.

"Well see," is all that Connor says.

"Perhaps."

The Question stood up, taking his glass of salted water. "Take care of yourself, Connor. Have things to fix up in my room until I become unBound."

"If you ever need anything, let me know. I'm more than willing to help."

"Thank you. ... You are different from your father. But certainly not in a bad way."

The Question turned and left quietly.
