Dunno. Next guy might not be such shit at his job.
[ Hey, aww, he's practically admitting he wants you around, Han. ]
Hah. [ Laugh it off, Hank. It's fine. This is fine. ] I'm off the case, huh? Can't say it's the first time my fucking problem has gotten me in shit like this.
Nothing much, besides us updating each other on where we're at.
[ mmMMHhhMmmMM okay he owes Han a little truth. ]
I mean, we've talked a couple of other things out, but he's dealing with shit on his own time, too. Worrying about that deviant stuff, that kind of shit.

[ Hank shakes his head, trying to will the awkwardness out of this conversation. ]
You seriously saved my ass, though. Why the hell would you bother, when all I've done is piss you off and steal your booze?
no subject
[he says with a slight hint of sarcasm]
Sorry, I'm really fucking bad at my job.
no subject
Hey, don't sweat it. I'll give you gold stars on your teacher's review, how's that?
no subject
Anyway... no hard feelings. But also, no more booze.

[ Hopefully it will be the last? ]
no subject
You should want to know anyway, but I'll have to do my own digging.
no subject
[ He sighs. ]
I just hope it doesn't get him killed.
no subject
Who is he digging with? What other conversations have you been having?
no subject
[ What case is Connor working on, that's the question. ]
no subject
What other conversations were you having?

[he tilts his head.]
no subject
You wouldn't wanna become something you were created to destroy, would you?
no subject
Fair enough.
no subject
[ Wow, he never said that!!! ]
All the shit he's feeling, he's feeling it for the first time. Bad enough for the rest of us, y'know?
no subject
no subject
[ He says it with certainty. He and Connor had a Talk. He knows what he's talking about, at least from Connor's standpoint. ]
He's scared alright? Which, yeah, is pretty fucking ironic when the thing he's scared of is being a deviant.
no subject
[he presses his palms together, clamming up just a little bit.]
But also-- you asked about Megumi. I assume you've spoken to her?
no subject
[ Hank cares about him, but he's definitely totally not jealous. ]
Yeah, talked to her on day 1. What about her?
no subject
[and he'lll... something something something with connor. but also, hank never has to worry again about him]
no subject
[ mmmmMMMMMM ]
Far as I know, she likes all us students about twenty times more than her asshole boss.
no subject
That's interesting... Maybe I'll follow up on that, specifically.
no subject
[ Hank shrugs. ]
You guys probably have a lot in common. [ He smirks. ] Worst case, you can talk about Connor. I know he's gotten on pretty well with her too.
no subject
Thanks for the additional info.
no subject
[ He's probably going to just keep showing up even without te booze incentive... just letting you know, pal. ]
You seriously saved my ass, Han. Least I can do is help you keep Toddswald from running this place like a slaughterhouse.
