Honey, I'm home!
Connor's well settled into Kai's world by now, and looking forward to moving out someplace less civilized where he can stretch his legs, but thanks to the PINpoint he still makes regular visits back home. Having reunited with Duncan, he's not about to let him go again, and he still has a lot of investments there. Furnishing a new home will be no trouble, with as much antique furniture as he has in storage, and he'll always feel an attachment to the world he comes from. In some part of his heart, Scotland is always home.
Becoming a visitor in his own world has made him less cautious, though, in subtle ways. No one could ever accuse Connor of being careless; paranoia is part of his reputation. Still, when he goes back to check on his business affairs, he's just plain not expecting another immortal.
It's no one he knows, and that's trouble. Whether they know him or not, he may never know. The fight is brutal, and on the long side. Connor's not too badly out of practice, thanks to daily kata and erratically training Jelani, but he's psychologically out of the habit. There's no chance to mentally prepare himself, and that leaves him feeling off his footing.
By the time it's over, he's not really thinking straight, but his first impulse is to go home. home. Home is where Kairos is, so he PINpoints back straight into the living room, the device in his hand sparking and electricity crackling faintly on the air around him. He's been cut up a little, but the other immortal is much worse off, being in two pieces back in a quiet warehouse.
