Christopher had nieces, yes? Perhaps he could think of himself in Connor’s position, but Reagan was one of those nieces. Or Christopher was more than welcome to picture himself as a father presented with this identical situation and check to see if he wouldn’t be worried. Perhaps then he would fully understand the reasons behind Connor’s trepidation. Still, the older man was willing to listen to Christopher’s case, as shown with how carefully he listened to Chris’ words and paid attention to his body language to gauge how truthful he was being.
Then again, he had always known his older son’s friend to be truthful and trustworthy. Just like that, as Connor thought about Christopher’s traits, he could feel the anxiousness he had been feeling beginning to ebb away. “I don’t know, Chris. You’d have to be rather daft to throw your friendship with Koen away. Not to mention your good standing with me and the rest of my family.” Connor had practically watched the man before him grow up.
Despite himself, Connor’s lips twitched as Rea was described. It was very clear that Christopher had figured her personality out. There was a brief moment when he frowned; he hadn’t known that Rea had disliked Christopher for a bit. It was funny how life worked out; it reminded him of him being rude to Addi for a period when they had started out at Hogwarts but eventually he had given into her charms. “That’s true. Rea is a busy young woman but there must be something about you that she likes strongly. As far as I’ve known, Rea has never had the desire to be in a relationship with anyone.” Connor drummed his fingers on the table thoughtfully. “Addison and I have raised her with a lot of love and attention. You can understand that as I know family means a lot to you as well… you can promise that you will not hurt her?” |
