or kill you
or disable you for life, if it hits the right spot
might even lose a leg

[saviorexe]

You're just making my point for me, at this rate.

[Yes, thanks, he's well-aware of just how squishy he is now.]

[reneger]

but if i can bounce back from having my skull bashed in, i'm sure you'll be fine

[saviorexe]

We can't all be as tough as you.

Give me a few more days and we'll make drinks a reality. A little more time for Connor's fussing over me to wind down.

[reneger]

it's part of being human
always getting back up, no matter what

what's with you and connor, anyway? android buddies? he seemed like he used to be very anti-android feelings

[saviorexe]

[Well. Here's the question that he knew would've come up sooner or later. Just happens to be sooner, in this case.]

Connor's come a long way from how he used to be. A change of heart will do that to a person. But your question has a complicated and a simple answer. Which one do you want?

[reneger]

both

[saviorexe]

[The complicated answer, though he’ll leave out a few details that aren’t his to tell:]

I’m sure it’s obvious, but we’re from the same world. He’s a few days ahead of me, but he’s told me about what happens. The burgeoning android revolution was seen as a threat to many humans, and Connor’s objective was to locate us and take me in, ideally. I managed to change his mind before that could happen, and he realigned his loyalties.

So he’s a close ally and a friend. He defers to my judgment when I impress it on him, but I rely on his advice just as much.

[And here’s the simple answer, point-blank:]

He’s also my boyfriend. We’re dating.

[reneger]

so you're more than friends

( tends to be what boyfriend means, anyway. jason files the rest of the information for later. connor clearly isn't the best at following directives, but. )

also explains why you're so protective of his face
you must like it a lot

[saviorexe]

I do. I generally prefer it to not be broken. Therefore, your favor to me.

[reneger]

( nts: break connor's face to really piss of markus if needed. )

i'll make sure to leave it out of any future revenge plots

[saviorexe]

[wow, heckin rude, Jason]

How about nixing all of those revenge plots to start with? Wait until I've done something to deserve it, first.

[reneger]

they're not against you

( they're all for connor, at this point. )

[saviorexe]

The same applies to Connor, too.

[Revenge against what, Jason? Everyone just needs to chill.]

[reneger]

( but connor has done things to deserve it. )

i'll think about it
rest up.

[saviorexe]

[They’re going to have to work this out someday, maybe when Markus is not so worn and more mobile. Until then.]

You should, too.

Thanks for checking up.
