"How many times have I been chased, stalked, attacked, and nearly eaten by some creature? I think I can handle Helen." That was what Connor WANTED to say and what he ALMOST said. But this was probably one of those conversations where wisecracks were not needed.
Instead, he held Cutter's hand as firmly as he was and looked at him, the normal playful spark in his eyes replaced, at least for now, with a seriousness even Connor wasn't all that familiar with.
"Even if you told me it was a guarantee the Helen would come after me and that something would happen like that... even then, I am still choosing to be right here. THIS is where I want to be, Nick... no matter what might happen."
