"You changed."
He was not surprised to see Cecil in his house, even if he'd shushed him from being too loud. The children were sleeping.
"Yes, I did." There was a proud tone to his voice.
"Could this Nolan? You told the truth. Not a pleasant one but you did speak it. He lied."
"Of course he did." Connor huffed. "Nolan is here to conquer Earth. He wants his own little Viltrumite or two, and then he'll take them and raise them into being good little soldiers and bathe the starways in this planet's blood."
"You were able to-"
"My expectations were very low. Acceptance. Friendship. Hugs. Marriage. Children. As I keep saying, a man with a name, not a beast without one. All it took to change me. Teach a man he's lower than a dog and then show him there are other ways, he will gladly accept them. And if I need to let the old beast out to play from time to time..." Connor shrugged. "Sometimes Conquest is necessary. Far, far less than what Viltrum taught me."
"I cannot deny that," Cecil mused.
"Guardians can't, either. They're merciful to me. They give me chances to learn. To learn the value of restraint."
He leaned forward.
