[ haha hey what's good connor. have a cool and collected majima rollin' on up to him, a lit cigarette in his mouth as usual. ]

Oi. Connor-han.

[tootsiepop]

[...]

Hello. [. . . . . .] Can I help you?

[haw]

[ he takes the cigarette out of his mouth, letting his hand drop to his side, the smoke from the cig floating skyward lazily. ]

I got a quick question for ya. Why'd ya go full aggro on me yesterday?

[tootsiepop]

I explained my reasoning during the trial.

[haw]

Not all of it.

Did ya actually have a reason to think my god was up for votin', or were ya just bluffin' to try an' force a confession outta me?

[tootsiepop]

Of course I was bluffing.

[He thought??? That was obvious???]

But if my initial suspicions had been correct, then it wouldn't have mattered.

[haw]

I dunno—dependin' on who ya talk to, word can fly fast around here, even if ya think whoever ya talked to wouldn't blab.

[ CUZ LIKE... MAYBE SO, BUT ALSO, IDIOTS EVERYWHERE, ]

Well, swing an' a miss on that one.

[tootsiepop]

... Don't worry. If you've confided in the participants I'm thinking of, your secrets should be safe.

[Or something.]

Was that all you needed?

[haw]

I'd really like to think so, yeah, but we apparently got at least a couple of good liars still kickin'.

[ ... but he's not that loose-lipped. he sighs through his nose, a little less tense than he'd appeared upon arrival. his guard isn't completely down, of course, but... it's something. connor's reassurance plays a big part in putting him slightly at ease. ]

I guess, yeah. [ pause ] I appreciate ya bein' honest with me.

[tootsiepop]

You're welcome.

[Though it lacks the usual pep behind it.]

I'm always happy to answer any questions or concerns you may have.
