He's not my dog, not technically, but we live together. Maybe...when this is over, you can meet him.
[talking about the future creates an incentive for them both to get out of this together. though, the way his success rate keeps racking up, connor is starting to think this is another mission he can call a success. at least, until his outburst and the erratic waving of his gun.
TOPIC: WEAKNESS, POWERLESSNESS - TRIGGERS INCREASED STRESS LEVELS BY 11%+.RECOMMENDATION: AVOID OR PLACATE
connor puts his hands up again, emphasizing once more that he's not making any sudden moves and he's not meaning to agitate him, even though he's preconstructed enough scenarios to know how to disarm him with minimal effort or injury to either side. but escalating to an action like that will often leave no chance at a meaningful interaction or a peaceful resolution.
and maybe there's a part of connor's newfound empathy that would like to hear arthur out. since hank's disappearance, he's been vulnerable in his own way. he steps forward again, the barest fraction of an inch.]
I don't think I believe that, Arthur. You're right--I don't know you.
[he pauses, tilting his head inquisitively. he thinks about the things hank has said and done, shown him about hating one's self and wanting to give up rather than fight past it.]
But all evidence suggests you have empathy. You care, you feel...guilt? You're alive, and that gives you endless combinations of possibilities to fix whatever you think you've done wrong.
[connor lowers one hand, extending it open-palmed.]
Give me your device. I can transfer you the funds that way--but I'd appreciate if you tell me what you wanted to do with them.
i spy an app!!!
