Hey, I was serious about the Connor thing. He's your responsibility now, too. If I find out you've been lying to him or some shit, there's gonna be hell to pay.
[ Somehow the threat doesn't feel as dangerous now, but he means it!! ]
Yeah, he's got a million fucking things in his head and a million processors trying to work through 'em all. He thinks he's got it all under control, but... I still worry about him.
Yeah, who fucking knows. Not like he's the highest-ranked asshole in this shithole, anyway.
[ Middle-management asshole... ]
Just seems fucking stupid. We all know killing is bad -- making this shit 'an eye for an eye' when they're offering up motives is like bringing red ice to a rehab place and then arresting people for taking it. Maybe don't fucking do that shit, if you're just gonna kill 'em!
He could at least stop with the fucking execution. Give the dead some damn respect.

[ Thatta boy, Han! That's the Hank Anderson way. ]
Connor's not some damn machine. He'd pretend nothing ever bothers him, but I know him better than that.
no subject
[a pause]
Even if you're used to them. But I... I know he's got stuff going on. That he's trying to ggget to the bottom of... all this shit.

[he pauses and stares at the bottle. a million things, and yet. han is the one here trying to figure out what the fuck to do with himself.
He exhales, and then pushes the whiskey away.]
Shit. You're right. Hhhhhere I am, slackin' off like... like a loser, eh... And you guys... rrrr trying hard.
no subject
Just take a load off, man. Connor might be an android who [ airquotes ] "never gets tired," but we're not.
no subject
Nnnot long enough, apparently. Apprently? No wait, I said it right the first time.
no subject
[ Hank waves a hand. This is maybe a little awful but... ]
Grantaire was a fucking asshole. He knew what he was getting into.
no subject
[he says it slowly, and deliberately, to hide his slurring just a bit.]
no subject
Can't you, I dunno, make some kinda fucking jail or something? Does Hale really have to kill these people?
no subject
I dunno.
I fucking have no clue.
[he lets his head fall back and he stares at the ceiling]
Bbbbut I doubt he'd let us.

no subject
Yeah. Yeah. Fuck, this shit's barbaric, eh.
no subject
Right? That was fucking too much. Just... I dunno. Take him out back and make it quick or something, shit.
no subject
[said sardonically, he's too drunk to try and remember his french now, in a serious manner]
What's quicker than a beheading?
[he's not bitter.]
no subject
[ He grumbles. He definitely lives close enough to Canada to understand French, alright. ]
no subject
or maybe that's the best time, who knows.]
Just like old times.
[he lifts his head]
Okay. Okay. Ooookay maybe diff'rent top...topic...
no subject
[ And again, Hank is 100% convinced he's disgustingly unattractive, so you don't want to end up like him. ]
How 'bout you tell me something that isn't totally shitty? Or fuck, I dunno, have you talked to Megumi about the Vivienne thing yet?
no subject
[hank stop it, why are you so insecure???]
Nnnnnot yet. It's fine.
[but also he's hitting on every single Thing eating at Han this week]
no subject
So have you talked to Hale then? Because he's been super chatty with me this week.
no subject
[he snaps at that one.]
He creeps me out.
no subject
Yeah? Cause he thought you were H up until we spoke way so I figured maybe he was like, weirdly chummy with you.
no subject
[and he hates it, he hates him, and he hates everything right now.]
He wants me to run... run this stupid course, but... wants all of you to like me. Like me? Because if you trust maybe you'll be successful.
It's fucking stupid, I fucking hate it.
