[Succinct. He sounds... a little tired, to be honest. A little less cheerful than he was when they first broke into the room, though he's trying to cover it up with that same preprogrammed placidness he consistently displayed in the first week.]
I didn't think... [—that she regretted it. He doesn't finish that sentence, though, instead shaking his head.] No. Nevermind. Will support Love at the time of the final tally?
[If there's nothing else inside the penthouse, Connor will return to the balcony in order to see if there's a safe route down... Even if it involves parkour.]
[immediately in the balcony area, there doesn't seem to be a way down. but... if he looks over the side and focuses on the wall, he'll see that there are various open windows and windowsills that could serve as handholds and footholds dotted around the side of the building.
it might not be impossible to climb down safely, although it would be difficult.]
[ Connor, buddy, you've spent nearly seven weeks together. You think he can't read you like an open book? Yu hears the shift, but honestly, he won't comment on it. He's got his own thoughts on Ambition, it seems. ]
I will, [ he'll say, simple as that. ] I truly believe in her vision for the world. [ ... soft: ] I wouldn't go back to her if I didn't.
[ It's a piece of honesty he wouldn't share with just anyone. He loves her, with everything he is, but if he really didn't think she could lead a new world...
It wouldn't be a question, much as the mere thought pains him.
Anyway hey, he'll join Connor on the balcony, also taking a look at the building. ... he'll glance at Connor. ]
You can't possibly be thinking...

[Bold of any of you to assume Connor cares about his own personal safety.
He's focusing on the open windows and windowsills, calculating the distance between them and running the math within the literal computer in his head in order to select the ""safest"" route. It only takes him a couple of seconds before he's nodding, leaning over the railing.]
This will only take a minute.
[And then he
casually
moves
to start climbing over the balcony and down the building.]
[ i want future readers of this thread to know that i literally rng'd whether or not yu would succeed in stopping connor and rng said no so basically please understand that fate wants connor to die.
anyway.
Yu will honestly make a choked noise?! ]
What are you doing?!
[ He'll drop his sword to rush over and try to grab at him, but Connor is already out of reach. ]
You idiot-- [ he's not freaking out, who's freaking out? ] Be careful!
[i want all future readers of this thread to know i've been wheezing for several minutes holy shit]
I'm going to check something.
[CASUALLY
like he isn't giving Yu seven simultaneous heart attacks right about now. God.
Anyway— Parkour is listed on his profile and his grip can't quite get tired since he has actuators for muscles. Even though he takes his time and is generally mindful of his every move as he heads down, how badly is this going to go?]
[Connor, down on the ground, probably laying still for a couple of seconds just. Like. Hm.
Ater a beat, he gets up and scoops his pin up.
And then he proceeds to yeet it again, an even further distance just to see if it disappears into a void or if there's shit to explore outside the building after all.]
[he can, indeed, walk down the paris streets after his pin. the scenery surrounding the hotel exists now that he's figured out a workaround for "walking out the front door and ending up back in the temple".]
Sorry, Yu. But he's going to take a teeny stroll once he retrieves his pin, just to check if there's anything of interest out here. If there's nothing else, though, he'll nyoom back over so he can start climbing back up.]
[it's literally just the paris streets. just, like... not crowded with people for once. connor will have a nice stroll, and then it's back up the side of the building for him
[Startling, just a little bit. He blinks rapidly at him as the pressure registers, brief but enough for an alert to pop up in the corner of his vision.]
I'm— sorry? [Touching his forehead??? Nani?????] I said I would only take a minute.
[ BY CONSENSUS NO WE DO NOT HAVE THE REMOTE, the tv was turned off and the remote left on a table before they stepped into an elevator. they're conscientious thieves, alright?
[The elevator doors close behind them, and the elevator starts to descend. When they open the box, the first thing they'll see is a hair comb lying inside of it.
The second thing they'll see is a whirling ball of golden light which emerges from it and circles around them both several times before solidifying into the form of a small, bee-like creature.]
How may I serve you, my-- [The creature's eyes open, and then narrow.] ...you are not my queen, either.

presuming Connor makes it up there safely?
Yu is just kinda standing here, looking like he's aged twenty years, and he'll go over to connor and just
icon, to the forehead,
only without any force. it's more like a bop. ]
Don't scare me like that.

Whatever, Connor doesn't need to understand it. He's alright, and that's all that matters. ]
... it's fine. We should go.
[ Though he'll lead the way back inside, over to the elevator, he'll glance at Connor over his shoulder. ]
Are we really taking that box with us?
no subject
Would you like to check it out on our way down? If it's not worth our time, we can always return it.

Once they're both in the elevator, pressumably on their way to the lobby, Connor takes the box out of his pocket and opens it up.]
