Promise? *snuggles you*
And Angel knows who *not* to trust. He's had the 200+ years to make his mistakes, of which he's made many, but he's also been given the opportunity to learn from them.
Exactly ! And he's made so many mistakes along the way, they all have. And yet, to me at least, nobody wants to extend that same grace to Connor. He's not supposed to make mistakes. Although I think that part of that, much of that, may be self-imposed on himself and part of his upbringing from Holtz. And yet, even once he is back in this world - there is never an adjustment. Angel had over 100 years to adjust to his soul and what is right and wrong and come to terms. Connor is expected to adjust to the fact that his world was turned upside down instantly, expected to embrace Angel and AI and everything they stood -without being given a solid reason other than being TOLD, by them, that they weren't evil.
There are parallels there as well with Liam/Darla and Connor/Cordelia. The boys who want something better, more out of life, an extension of that idea of the need to belong, and in this, a need to belong to something...more.
Ohh! I don't think I've ever really thought that through before, not completely. I am going to have to.
*hugs you* Have an amazingly fun weekend with everybody my darling fod!
