So not a friend of the kids. But he thought him harmless. Well, given what he- what he and Ayden could do, he supposed that made sense. Still, he'd watch the guy.
In the meantime, though, Connor had to amend his thoughts as the kid spoke. Hayden had never been like this. Still, the kid was funny. Lots of brag and bravado. Course he knew that usually meant that what they were seeing was a mask. Be abrasive and cocky to others and they kept you at arms length, if they stuck around at all. Superficiality was the name of the game.
He rolled is eyes at his comments about Ayden even as a smile formed on his face. "Kid, you're even dumber than you look."
Of course, right at that moment the kid gasped. The look on his face was quite funny, especially when coupled with the fierce one coming from Ayden. At least he had a sense of humor because laughs tried to come between gasps. Connor couldn't help but laugh. "Told ya."
Ayden got up, irritated. Connor knew better than to follow after, with her. Just give her space for a moment. In the meantime, he took another sip and said, "You know kid, there are lots better ways of getting attention."
He said it with a smile to show that he was only teasing him. Ayden was irritated but he didn't think she was really upset. At least, if she was, he didn't know why. He was enjoying being around him for some reason.
And then, strangely, that guy that Nox had claimed not to know decided to join them, taking the seat Ayden had been in while he introduced himself and ordered drinks for everyone. Connor's brows furrowed and he looked at Nox, reassessing the situation. Just because the kid had said he didn't know him didn't mean that wasn't true. Or that they weren't Atharim working together. Carefully he dropped his hands down to his pocket to put his hands on the gun again.
Drinks came, but he was having none of this fake-camaraderie crap that suddenly seemed to appear. The mirth was gone from his face. He had two guys to watch now. "Pretty forward there aren't you. Something I can help you with?"
