Conor:His mind isn’t in the best place right now.
Aidan:No. Think I should talk to him?
Conor:You have a lot of work going on, don’t you?
Aidan:Yeah.
Conor:Maybe get him to help? Could be a way of getting his mind off things.
Aidan:Okay. Sure. You don’t think it’ll put pressure on him?
Conor:He’s tougher than he looks and he already looks like he’d fuck up Ronan the Accuser.
Aidan:You and your comic books.
Conor:It’s from a movie too, Aidan. It ain’t my fault that you haven’t watched Marvel movies.
Aidan:Yeah, yeah.
Aidan:I’ll talk with Eoghan.
Conor:Good.
Aidan:When are you coming home?
Conor:Sooner than you think. But maybe longer than you think too.
Aidan:Informative. I didn’t ask for a riddle, Kid.
Conor:Might be dropping by over the next couple of days but then I’m heading back out again.
Aidan:Why?
Conor:Gotta see someone.
Aidan:Who?
Conor:Doesn’t matter.
Aidan:You’re a pain in my ass, do you know that?
Conor:Maybe you DO need a visit to the proctologist?
Aidan:Nah, my problems are all brother-shaped.
Aidan:Stay fucking safe, do you hear me?
Conor:I do. Same goes.
Aidan:Yeah, deartháir, I know.
