Connor was always constantly told by his buddies, his average or even below average heighted friends about how lucky he was to be well over six feet tall. And sure most days he didn’t mind it, save for the occasional joke that he had heard time after time since he was a teen. However hiding or being unseen never really ended up being a thing for him, people noticed the tallest person in the room. Its was part of the reason he was as charming as he tried to be, why he led with a joke when he could if he was gonna get into trouble he was gonna be caught and charm was the usual way to talk ones way out of it.

Wiping the liquid from his shirt with a cocktail napkin as he made his way towards the restroom for some paper towels and running water, not that he cared much about ‘saving’ the damn shirt. Not as much as he just cared about being able to hide away long enough to pull an good ol’ fashioned Irish goodbye. Looking up out of habit of keeping his surrounding known a familiar face caught his attention, one fairly different from Kelsey from tenth grade Bio. “Well shit.”
