Friday Afternoon and Evening- Mainland
Mar. 2nd, 2023 09:10 pm![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
It had been a busy day for Connor already, and he hadn't even had a class to deal with like Cutter had. But he DID have a lot to keep busy with to make sure everything today went according to plan.
After their talk last week, Connor had made arrangements for a little day trip to the mainland. He had something special planned and had somehow managed to keep it a secret from Cutter until now. He looked down at the pamphlet to the small museum he had found.
It sounded like someplace Cutter would enjoy. Connor just hoped he was right and resisted the urge to fiddle with his gloves as he waited for Cutter to meet him so they could catch the portal he had set up for them.
(For that guy. That they met to go on a date is okay but rest once they catch their portal is, of course, NFB due to distance.)

Date: 2023-03-03 10:23 pm (UTC)Cutter smiled at that, “I do like the sound of that and …” his smile widened, “especially coming back for more visits, I’m sure we could make multiple trips ,” he added, tilting his head a bit at that.

"Spent several years dealing with different times separated by thousands and millions of years, totally different realities... yet the best one by far was one that looked almost identical to the one I knew. Save for one, very very special difference," Connor said as he gave Cutter's hand a squeeze and looked at him with a grin.

"Looks like we're here" he said nodding toward the small museum in front of them. "Shall we?"

Date: 2023-03-04 02:54 am (UTC)After all he hadn’t even know who Connor was originally because he hadn’t turned up to the seminars, Stephen had largely been responsible for running those.

Date: 2023-03-04 03:13 am (UTC)Connor HAD been a dedicated enough student to keep coming to the classes after all, even when the professor was MIA for the majority of them.
"I'll be sure to take some notes while we're here. Ya know... to pass them along next time I see him in case he's interested."
Connor wasn't even attempting to hide the huge grin now as he turned to look at the first set of rocks and fossils on the table. Glancing over his shoulder at Cutter for a moment as he did.

Date: 2023-03-04 03:41 am (UTC)"AYe, I keep thinking I wouldn't mind seeing these guys in person..." Connor started as he stepped closer and leaned over for a better look. "But then I remember the centipedes and the scorpions.... and yeah, these guys would likely be a lot bigger knowing my luck!"

Date: 2023-03-04 04:12 am (UTC)"Maybe someday we can get that chance," Connor said as he shifted a little closer, maybe slipping an arm around Cutter's shoulder as he leaned over. Maybe.
