Connor's shrugging, already forming a reply along the lines of, if I had an idea, I wouldn't be asking you, but then...Jane's gone. He recognises the signs by now - and he would even if her hair hadn't just turned entirely blonde all at once. Something in her entire posture now looks...entirely at home in the clothes she's wearing.

"Uh... Hi," he says, awkward and a little on edge. Suddenly all he can think is - what if Hammerhead and Jane are wrong about Karen's powers. "Right, I know Jane. My name's Connor."

He thinks Hammerhead would physically throw him out of the window before letting him use the F word.

"Don't worry, I'm not going to be here long. I just..." And at this point, he figures he might as well get started, "I was just asking Jane to go to the ball. With me. I thought we'd enjoy each other's company. And it would be weird to go alone to a ball, right?"

He's not actually sure if it would be weird or not, and he's definitely not sure about anybody enjoying anybody's company, but... It rings true. Right? He doesn't get the impression any of the alters share memories to call him out on this.
