Ah. So I assume he doesn't think highly of us deviants then?
Then you're contracted? It does sound convenient for you both, since you already have a relationship. Easier than finding someone here you won't know as well.
Actually...he encourages it, now. There was a difficult start, but he played a pivotal part in allowing my future assistance to come to fruition. I may not remember it, but the way he tells it? I only found Jericho because of him.
Yes. It seemed like the easiest option to continue our progress together and ensure his safety. It's much more difficult for the humans, I think.
Is there anyone you've considered? You have the advantage, like me.
[Simon would consider Connor finding Jericho a double edged knife. Yes he came to them and was brought to their side which helped in the end... but a lot of their people died in the raid on Jericho too.]
I'm glad he wants you to be your own person, Connor. I think I'd like to meet him sometime, even if our relations with police haven't been good.
And no, not yet, but I would like to contract someone soon. If not multiple. It only makes sense I help others if I can, there's no need for anyone to be in the Down if all of us Dominants contract people.
[simon's device will ping with a text notification--a smiley face and his apartment number.]
That's very generous of you. I hadn't considered the merits of contracting multiples--if only due to the space of our accommodations. I suppose we don't need the rest a bedroom provides, leaving room for two.
Will you be assisting North, or is she making her own arrangements?
It's easy to fall into what you were programmed for... I've considered food work, maybe even home care. I'm still not sure yet. It would be nice to break away from it, but it's what I know.
[Simon actually chuckles.]
She is. North is a strong personality, she'll ultimately do what she wants, especially here.

Uneven footing may not be the most stable start to a friendship, but it's a start.

Everyone needs to start somewhere.
[and they usually do that by offering up some piece of information as a token. a way to bond.]
That’s what I’ve learned from one of the relationships I’ve developed over the course of my mission. With—a human. His name is Lieutenant Anderson.

Is he here with you too?
no subject
He's here. So is his dog. I offered them both a place to stay seeing as I have little use for it myself. It only seemed fair.
[cue simon realizing the only way to do that is if hank is a sub and there's a contract in place in 3....2....1....]

We can also buy our submissives their own places if we need to, or get a bigger place. If we have the means.
I've offered to help her a few times, but she always turns them down.
no subject
[it isn't like duplicity is asking him to investigate deviants, after all, if he were to do that.]
Oh, I see. She seems...very independent.
[he means that nicely. almost in admiration, actually.]
