Welcome to Gaia! ::

Connor lifted the curtain and walked in, watching Isiah with brown eyes.
"I haven't seen him since you left. So no, he did not."

Conor leaned his back against the far side of wall, crossing arms over chest to watch Isiah on the cot. "I wanted to know what you had planned on doing. Tomorrow, I assume?"

"So the talk with Kaegan didn't go well, I see." Connor closed his eyes, chin to chest in thought.
"Why not try to talk to him again, try to come up with some sort of agreement? You can't lead something you don't believe in."

Connor winced. "Usurp...?" This was one of those times when his billingual weaknesses came through, and he didn't like it, becoming nervous. "I've.. never heard that word... Is it english..?"

Connor groaned. "I apologise. But I am not Tsurai. He is..." Connor, now faced with the embarrassment of having to ask what a word was, began double-checking all his english before he said it, giving him awkward pauses.

"Tsurai has a very high vocabulary. It surprises me he does not know how to read, knowing all the words he does."
Connor opened his brown eyes, focusing on Isiah once more. "Braeden came to see me today, after your... Chat, with Kaegan."

He shook his head. "Perhaps this.. Usurping... Is a good idea. Braeden may not be the best leader, but he is... Dedicated. I still believe you should leave this town. It is not good for you. Your health. Perhaps... It is best you leave Tsurai behind, as well."

Connor frowned, mumbling a few words in Romani to himself.

"Tsurai is not learning how to read," he said, scratching the back of his neck, becoming uneasy.
"He is... How to put.. Remembering. He remembers the letters as pictures. This way, he thinks he is learning. The address. He showed it to you too? He knows what people called it, and remembers pictures of street signs. He links the two together. If you put new things in front of him, he struggles. Gets frustrated."

Connor looked away. "I am slightly jealous. I want to have a family, but cannot."

Connor sighed and went to sit next to Isiah.
"There are... So many things I wish to do, but cannot. Having sex with a female is not on the list.."
He hung his head. "I am sorry, you made my nervous. Is my english broken?"

Connor exhaled and leaned his head atop Isiah's. "Sometimes I am not sure if I still have you. You give more attention to that boy than me."

Connor idly rubbed his hand up and down Isiah's outer thigh. "I did the math. He is at least twenty. I cannot figure out if he has convinced himself he is a child or if he really does have some sort of impeedment."

Connor didn't sound at all like himself. The usurp thing had gotten to him, so his usual stern demanor was replaced with a voice full of questioning and a lack of contractions, as if they were the plague.
