I know he will. Oswald's made his capacity for murder very clear.
[which, he knows is a lame answer. But also, he doesn't know what else to say. At least, not yet. But also, his eyes get drawn to Connor's.]
And that's just it-- before I throw anything else at any of you, I want to make sure we can get away with it. That's all.
[he purses his lips, and leans in closer.]
This is... extremely fucked up.

I'm not afraid.
[ not of working with him. not of dying. not of their proximity now and the way han gets closer to him. ]
But I can't be effective if you don't talk to me.

[there's silence there, at least at that last part. He's so close, so close to saying it all, and he leans in closer.]
Connor, I promise... It's going to all come out.
[Connor may not be human, but Han is. he so very much is. And his free hand reaches to his shoulder, fingers tangling in the fabric, pulling him closer.]
Just. Trust me on this, alright?

Nothing yet. Probably too early to tell who's actually suspicious and who's fucking weird. Like that clown, for one.
[ He shudders. He hates that guy. ]
I'd cross him, Poe, and Henry off the list. Henry and the Clown are just assholes. And Poe's so goddamn wimpy he'd probably trip over himself before he even got anything done.

The biggest thing is figuring out if they're old or new.
[ Hank crosses his arms. He's a detective, he can read people. But also, he can't work without booze, so you got yourself into this mess, Han. ]
You wouldn't happen to know if Hale's little informant has been on from the start, would you? Because that'd narrow shit down on my end. A lot.

[ he can feel it; he's so fucking close but he also knows he can't push him too far or he'll lose him. it's a balancing act. it always is. just like it was with daniel, just like it was with carlos ortiz's stupidly unnamed android. ]
I want to trust you.
[ he lets himself be pulled, he leans forward and does what he knows han wants and kisses him on the lips. these gestures, these things -- they're as mechanical as he is, he doesn't have to have feelings for this man to do these things. (or have feelings at all, obviously) but. ]
Trust works best when it's mutual.

[he can recognize that, on some level there's that innate desire to know more. But he doesn't think he has what Connor needs. Not yet.]
It does, you're right. And I'm not saying I don't trust you.
[he weighs his words carefully, even though they're so close.]
But even if I told you, it might put us both at risk.
[and then kisses him again, because it felt good to acknowledge that raw part of his feelings, when the rest were... well. what they were.]

It's okay.
[ quiet, now, because they're so close and because it feels better. he kisses him back and then decides this whole desk thing is kind of inconvenient, so after he breaks away he lets go of his hand for just a moment, just long enough to come around and sit on his desk, right in front of him. connor takes han's hand again. he knows exactly what he's doing. ]
I'm already at risk just being here.
[ and honestly, potentially more so if han does something that accidentally disables, say, every robot/android here. there's definitely an element of that in wanting to know the consequences. ]

[if han knew the fear, he could say something to reassure that. but he doesn't have his code, so... his chances are low.
But now with the change in positions, that allows Han the chance to stand, and press his advantage, leaning in close to him again, pressing himself between his legs.]
This is true.
Adding additional, unnecessary risk would be illogical, wouldn't it?

You got your bragging rights. Might as well get to know you a little better if we're gonna be stuck here.
[ He smirks, none-too-subtly trying to look at his laptop screen. Not that it would do him any good, since he can't code. ]
Plus hey, maybe if we can get through this one, I'll get two bottles out of the deal.

[ he doesn't have feelings it's fine. ]
I disagree; being informed makes it easier to --
[ but even connor's program knows when to simulate being distracted, or maybe he really is distracted by that contact. he shifts, giving han a little more space. giving in easily to what he wants. ]
We can talk about it later.

[that is damn good programming, Connor. Almost worth a visit back to, really-- if only the talking didn't lead to secret plans going in circles.
but right, feelings. he doesn't have them. right.]
Later would be ideal.
[after all, he wants to focus on other things. With this, he goes in for a harder kiss, his free hand tugging buttons on Connor's shirt, more aggressive and insistent]

[ even in this, connor adapts. the harder han kisses him, the more insistence han shows, the returns the feeling in kind - he shows need to match han's want, submission to go with his aggression. a perfect complement, every time.
he reaches over to go for the buttons on han's flannel shirt. he's so casual compared to the students with their fancy uniforms (blue-- which is good, connor loves blue), but in a way, it's a little like fucking on his desk; it's a power differential. humans like that, don't they? ]
You can do whatever you want to me.

[ Yep, just a whole bunch of mumbo jumbo. ]
If it were me I'd have five, so don't ask me.
[ What's a normal amount of alcohol for people to have? Good question. ]
Lay it on me, big guy. Let's you and me get casual. I'll even let you ask me somethin' first.

[han pauses, and then looks at him with an eyebrow raised-- he knows you're an android and androids don't have feelings, apparently, but also]
Is that what your social adaptability program is saying?
[but he doesn't stop, working enough of the buttons undone so that he can press a palm flat across his chest.]

[this is where he has to think about where he hid those glasses. They're under the paper somewhere.
He turns his back to start sifting through them.]
Alright, what's the craziest case you've ever worked?
[the important questions.
but he upends the papers, revealing a few glasses-- aha.]
