Re: connie/newt
I've perhaps stepped in something I oughtn't've. But, er, well, their relationship fell apart at the seams as she'd disappear for months at a time and not say anything to him. That's all I meant. He struggled with it quite a bit. Then she came back and was a touch manipulative. She's kept her distance since then, largely, until recently when she needed help.
The knight in shining armour and his princess, you mean? Yes. He's having a difficult time with that. You're the only one he's told outside of Dahlia, I think. And to compensate, he bites down on the masculinity bit a touch. If nothing else, it reminds me of how young he is and how confusing it must all be for him.
