"Home is... gone." He sighs, but when she was growing up they never could stay one place more than ten years, to keep people from noticing he doesn't age. "I've had to move on..." Then he breaks off and turns, smiling at Kairos. It's not a big, joyous smile, but a bittersweet one. Still, the way he's holding her hand in his is warm and protective. Rachel looks just like in the family photo, which was taken the year before everyone in it but Connor died. "This is Rachel. Rachel, I'd... like you to meet Kairos." He pulls Rachel to her feet again gently, knowing she'll want to greet his new girlfriend like a lady. She always did have more genteel manners than he does. Obviously it's something she learned before he ever found her, because being raised by a bachelor made for a poor model.
