"I think it was." And that's all Connor's going to say on the matter. Whatever this is, it's messed with Hank's head pretty badly - and that's worth dropping everything for.

He listens carefully to what Hank's telling him, about the bartender and the odd fixation on Connor, which Connor's surprised at only because it implies the bartender knows him and knows what he is. The only bartender at Rick's Connor's ever really spoken to much is Nick.

"It sounds like deflection," he says after a moment. "You told him off, so he immediately turned it back onto you. It's a pretty common tactic - it's even got a name, tu quoque. 'You have no right to say that to me because you're guilty of the exact thing' - something like that."

Hank does not care about logical fallacies - even Connor generally doesn't care about logical fallacies, despite having a few dozen of them in his critical thinking protocols - but he's going to start by logicking the hell out of this issue and then move on from there.

"Nobody in this city is more aware of differences between an android and a human than you are," he goes on with just the hint of a grin.
