Dinner as a goodbye...

[1stmacleod]

After talking with Jelani in the Nexus, Connor returns to the place he's starting, tentatively, to think of as home base. He tucks the envelope full of money away in his suitcase, and takes roughly two minutes to pack, because he's been living out of it anyway

And Kairos comes home, decompresses, and kicks off her shoes. She makes her way into the kitchen, following her nose. "Ooh. Gracious! What did I do to deserve this..?"

Connor looks a little sheepish, just starting to set the table while things are finishing cooking. 'you didn't do anything' is probably the wrong answer, and he doesn't want his news to sound ominous either, so his first response is a shrug. "It... I needed to... talk to you. And I wanted it to be nice." To make up for the fact that he'll be gone a few days at the very least.

Her eyebrows raise, and she smiles a little. "This is nice. Really, really nice. Thank you." She'll go ahead and sit down. "So.. what's on your mind, handsome?"

He fidgets with the silverware, and sits down too, although in his mind he's timing what's on the stove. "you've... heard me talk about Duncan... and that I... what I tried to make him do?" He can't quite remember what he has and hasn't told her, but he knows she knows who Duncan is, at the very least. "Things are still unresolved between us. He's the last friend I've got, in my world. He's... kin. My true brother..." He's looking awkward, not meeting her eyes.
