(he looks stressed and that makes connor shift idly while hank sorts himself out. did he say something wrong? it's hard to know, now that he's deviant -- it all used to be so cut and dry. it wouldn't matter if he spoke out of turn because all that mattered was the mission. now he's concerned with his partner's comfort first and foremost and, while that's the way he wants it and would be distraught if anything changed that, it's worrying.
but hasn't it always been that way? haven't they always looked out for one another? what's different? what could hank be so concerned about, that it'd jeopardize one of their missions?
connor's delayed response is preceded by a little shake of his head, eyes tracking back to the lieutenant.)
If that's what you feel is best, Lieutenant, but I'm better suited to leaving the fish out into the clearing where the cockatrice will notice it.
...
(HOLDS UP THE SUPER DEAD FISH, flapping it a little. i'm sorry, hank.)
I'll signal you and you can lure it over by making a noise loud enough to draw its attention but subtle enough to avoid inciting it to attack. Then, we'll quietly retreat to the campsite while it eats. What do you think?
