I'd like to keep this off now, if you wouldn't mind...especially after last night. If it makes you uncomfortable, though, I'll put it back on.
[He smiles as he turns around to look at Connor more directly.]
You would have overheard last night, but allow me to introduce myself properly: my name is Ion. It's very nice to officially meet you, despite this weekend's circumstances. Please forgive me for any discomfort I may have put you through. And thank you, as always, for coming to see me.

... It's a pleasure to officially meet you, Ion. Though I wish it were under better circumstances.
[And not because, you know, Ion's friend killed Connor's friends. It's fine.]
You have nothing to apologize for. I'm sorry if my presence caused you any discomfort last night. I didn't expect... I didn't know you were both acquainted with each other in that way.
[Because that sure seemed more intimate than your normal god-to-participant conversation.]
