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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Connor had places he could go, but he wasn't -willing- to. He just... couldn't do that.

He blinks, then smiles slightly at that. "Thanks."

Kyle was lucky. He coudn't stay, so he didn't. And he had a place he could go. He knew he was lucky for that, even if he hadn't really wanted to leave earth the way he had.

"Then again, I guess I'm biased," he grinned as he batted his eyelashes innocently.

But maybe he'd be able to visit, at least, one day. After he'd had time to... deal and move on.

"And here I thought a Lantern was supposed to stay completely impartial." Connor tries to form a scolding tone for the joke, but it's hard when that sort of statement of Kyle's just makes him happy.

Maybe. But with his new role, who knew if he would have time?

"Pssh. Please. I'm only human." Which was true. And he was Kyle. Kyle? Not biased? Riiiight.

There's always a way to make time.

"Right now, anyway." Yes, Connor still remembered about that whole... event with Ion, even if he hadn't witnessed it for himself. Who did -not- know about it?

The question was whether he was willing to or not.

"It's not changing anytime soon." He had gave up Ion to recreate Oa and the corps, after all. Or tried to at the time, anyway.

That's what would come in time.

"I'm glad to hear that." Didn't want to lose Kyle to some... higher state, even if that was possibly a little selfish.

"I mean, I think the fashion committee would come after me if I did that again. For actually having a costume that looks nice." Not to mention that it left nothing to the imagination.

"And all the comments it earned," Connor says. You didn't have to possess a dirty mind to understand some of those.

"Oh? Care to enlighten me?" Kyle asked, waggling his eyebrows at Connor.

Connor shrugs, glancing away. "I'm sure you know," he mumbles. "You're the one that designed it."

"Oh, but I don't know the ones you've heard," Kyle said innocently.

"What -were- you thinking when you designed, that, anyway?" Connor asks instead of answering.

"I thought it looked fitting," Kyle shrugged. Because really. He hadn't been thinking about how it might look to others in that manner.

"A little too fitting," Connor says, under his breath.

"Hmm? What was that?" Of course, he had heard, but he wasn't going to give that away.

"Nothing," Connor says, hoping the fact he's usually innocent will cover him here.

"Uh huh. Sure. Cough it up, Connor." Kyle was not letting it go!

"I think Oa is making you more stubborn." Was that even possible?

"I know. It's a good thing. And it means that you will have to confess!" Mwahahaha!

"You know, someday I'm going to break out the stubborn act on something you won't want to say, and you'll regret this." A taste of his own medicine.

"It's all about the willpower, baby." That should be a quote or something!

"Is that what you say to girls?" That would be a... lovely pickup line.

"What? Am I winning you over with my charming wit?" Kyle joked with a laugh. After all, he hadn't meant for it to sound like a pickup line.

"Might have to work on it a little. It's not up to full power."
