Sarcasm. The use of irony to mock or convey contempt. By definition one would assume it could be easily spotted but since Hank laced it so intricately with his lexicon, most of the time Connor couldn’t discern what he was trying to do. Most usually, insults. He had learned this was how Hank relieves stress, and he was appreciative that it was not directed at him. He took a seat beside Hank at the edge of the fountain, he couldn’t help but smile at his companion’s demeanor. Or the fact he thought Connor could sing. “Don’t worry, that’s not part of my programming. I don’t know how to sing.”

Hank needed some good news for the moment.
