Connor, I must ask this question.

Why on earth would you not go to one of your friends for such advice?

[stayyourblade]

Because, unfortunately, you are good with words, Father.

[orderbeforepeace]

Very well then.

I would say "Many happy returns of the day. Additionally, my father has warned me that should you get me arrested he will make your remaining years extremely unpleasant."

[stayyourblade]

I did not realize you cared enough to threaten someone on my behalf.

[orderbeforepeace]

You are my son, Connor. I hardly want to be called up in the early hours to bail you out.

[stayyourblade]

Then it is a good thing I would call someone else.

[orderbeforepeace]

I wouldn't bother to call your grandfather. He'd probably be in the next cell.

[stayyourblade]

Are you always this bitter, Father?

[orderbeforepeace]

I am a realist, Connor,
for all my other sins.

At your age, as I understand it, your grandfather was one of the most wanted men in the West Indies.

[stayyourblade]

Call it what you will. It does not change it.

Our work can draw unwanted attention.

[orderbeforepeace]

Connor, you know that the man can draw unwanted attention by sitting quietly in an empty room. It is simply how he is.

[stayyourblade]

That is not how it works, Father.

But since when have you ever been content to sit quietly?

[orderbeforepeace]

I don't draw unwanted attention while doing it. That is the important difference.

[stayyourblade]

Of course you don't. Please forgive my foolishness.

[orderbeforepeace]

That I can forgive you, but I am undecided on your cheek.

[ He has far so much of his mother in him, and that's the truth. ]

[stayyourblade]

I believe I got it from my mother.

[Along with his good looks.]

Surely you liked it in her.

[orderbeforepeace]

But your mother was charming with it.

[stayyourblade]

Yes. She was. Perhaps if she were here, things would be different.

[orderbeforepeace]

I... I am sure they would be, Ratonhnhaké:ton

You will... you will have to correct my pronunciation when I see you next.

[stayyourblade]

I was not aware you knew my name. You have always seemed content to call me Conner. What has changed?

[orderbeforepeace]

Your mother chose that name for you.

If you do not wish me to use it, then I will not.

[stayyourblade]

And Achilles chose Conner.

Why do you wish to?

[orderbeforepeace]

Because should she have introduced us, that is the name should would have used for you.

[stayyourblade]

Indeed, I think it is what she would have wanted.

[orderbeforepeace]

But what would you prefer?
