[Brogan, Colm, they'd probably take to Connor. Bradan is a no. Cal and Bairre could go either way, by virtue of the fact that Cal does better with animals than people and Bairre doesn't have time to watch documentaries with three daughters and a bakery to run.
Cormac is the one who outted him to the family.
But there's a bit of a tease in his tone even as he says it. He can balance this flirting-but-not. It's when things become real that things get complicated.]
But I think that's going to be for you to figure out when we get there.
( Win over every one of his brothers just to prove he can. Not that he'd ever have to. He is who he is. Some days, that's "not good enough," but for a thousand other reasons. )
[That feels a little more real, so the teasing tone drops from his voice. He takes it seriously.]
You did your time. You already paid for it.
[Carroll isn't one to beat a dead horse, and he's not one to judge. People get into trouble for a lot of reasons, and the world is complicated as it is.]
( There's a lot that didn't make it in the documentary. He wishes it hadn't caught fire like it did but with a name like Operation: Bonfire, why wouldn't it have. )
Some people don't believe I did. ( But, it doesn't matter what other people believe, does it? ) Depends on the day, what I'd say. ( He sighs. ) Thanks, for making sure my head was on straight. But, I've been confronted with worse. Witches and vampires kind of feel like nothing. Comparitively.
[Carroll makes a bit of a face as he finishes off his drink.]
I don't like lying to people or dancing around things so it's a bit of a relief that I don't have to. Plus it'll make things a lot easier when we go to New Orleans.
[He won't have to slip him vervain or get his family to edit themselves.]
I don't think your brothers will be showcasing their talents at their other brother's wedding. But, you're right. You won't have to explain anything away. Guess everything worked out.
( He finishes his glass, too. )
I need to get back to the office, finish Harvey's work. But, thanks for this. The drink. More context.
Well, one, New Orleans is seeped in supernatural history and has a lot of supernatural people living there and two, my cousin is also a vampire who is married to one of the oldest vampires in existence, so. It's not just the powers.
[He doesn't expect Connor to be spending much time with Klaus, though. Still, he nods.]
Anytime. If you think of anything later, I'll be happy to answer those too.

I like that you don't treat me like I'm a felon.
